!! OMG, GURRRRL: IFC’s ‘Do I Sound Gay!?’ documentary asks if we sound different? !!

After a break-up with his boyfriend, journalist David Thorpe embarks on a hilarious and touching journey of self-discovery, confronting his anxiety about “sounding gay.” Enlisting acting coaches, linguists, friends, family, total strangers, and celebrities, he quickly learns that many people — both gay and straight — often wish for a different voice. In Thorpe’s feature-length documentary debut DO I SOUND GAY?, what starts as a personal journey becomes a chance to unpack layers of cultural baggage concerning sexuality, identity, and self-esteem.

The documentary stars Margaret Cho, Tim Gunn, George Takei, & Dan Savage, and GURRRRRRL! It covers everything to public perception, to pride, to shame and the history of the GAY VOICE! Check out the trailer after the jump.
