Back on OT, I don't know how I tell someone is gay... I just see clues sometimes and mull it over in my head... not really their voice or demeanor as much as how they carry themselves around others and treats other of the opposite sex. Though I make it a point not to go prying around in other people's business... I hate when people get into my own so I wouldn't want to get into theirs uninvited. Have enough of my own drama...
If I see a bunch of clues, I don't really care to know who is sleeping with who really, so I guess I wouldn't really be a good judge...I also know too many people who fit the bill and are obviously straight. Some intellectuals I hang around who are fairly feminine (some are "metro sexual") but they are 100% straight... like listen to N'Sync and Backstreet Boys while weeping over the phone about a long lost love straight I really hate that we hold men to that awkward stereotype too... like they can't show emotion or have a high voice, a different way of dressing etc... they have to 'look' and 'act' like men... it's sexist.

You only tally the times you correctly identidy someone as gay.. You wouldnt really admit youre ever wrong if you think hey are but they dont say so because youd sooner presume they just havent came out yet, and youd be none the wiser if a guy you thought was straight was actually gay.

So maybe it is a mixture of nature and nurture.Many people of both sexualities possibly display these mannerisms etc but many gay people will either show them more or exaggerate them more?
I think that is the gist of the answers. Edit to add:Great replies in here on what is a very complicated subject

I never know who is or not gay, anyway, I neither look for possibilities and anyway couldn't care whether anyone was or was not gay.
I have never seen a one set of behaviour fits all either. That was a hard video to watch but glad it turned out okay, very sadly because of others expectations and observances, it doesn't always work out that well at times too. People are people, friends are friends, family are family,what sexual preferences they may prefer, is none of my business unless they choose themselves to reveal same.
