What causes or influences how "effeminate" or "masculine" will a homosexual man "act" like? I'm sure you've?

seen the "flamboyant" males, they have a "lisp", their body movements are feminine, etc. But, you also have gay males who are the opposite, who behave "normal", as in being masculine, lack of lisp, lack of feminine attributes.

I'm not implying that being more "masculine" is more normal than being "effeminate", but in this context I'm using the word "normal" to describe a more broad behavior seen in men (of course, not all). Also, I know I know not all gays fit into these 2 categories, it could more fluid o rbe neither of these.

Does anyone have any personal history or theories?

Thanks.

NOTE: You can respond for homosexual females if you like.

Update:

EDIT: Before I forget, I know I could have used straight people as my example, but I wanted to know the thoughts and perceptions about gay men in specific (and females).

    lol way to make this as politically correct as possible!

    i don't think anyone knows exactly but i think everyone just has their own little personality, sometimes it's more acceptable to be feminine if you're gay, although true, you don't really see any straight guys who are feminine to an extreme at all
