Do You Sound Like a Lesbian?

Taylor Barrett, our Pride.com video correspondent, went out and asked strangers on the street: do you think you could identify someone's sexual orientation based on the way that they sound?

The documentary, Do I Sound Gay? explores this question, from the perspective of gay men, but we were curious if this question could also apply to lesbians.

But when Taylor says, "Oh, ok. It's just maybe she is gay?"

Dude goes, "Yeah."

This fellow from earlier says he picked out a specific girl because she seemed "a little more assertive" than the rest of the group.

Taylor then says, "And that translates as gay to you?"

He then says:

Taylor then says, "So confidence for women is out of the ordinary?"

Then it was time for the big reveal...

After the big reveal, this couple was really excited because:

This gentleman, clearly perplexed, then asks Taylor:

What exactly is the website for the GAY AGENDA?!?! Pride dot com, of course.
