Do men showing signs of being effeminate are gay?

My daughter just got a boyfriend (her first). The guy is tall, well built and very handsome. But when he talks, he speaks in a low soft voice, laughs softly. Also he likes to send my daughter voice messages and selfie pics during their chat sessions on messenger.

    Not gay, but that kind of feminine behavior is a red flag. And it's not really the guy's fault. There are estrogen mimicking chemicals in so many foods and young boys are discouraged from acting rough & tough.

    You can call it a conspiracy theory if you want, but just ask your mom what young men were like in her day versus today. Back then, boys were aggressive. Only good manners and discipline kept them from becoming violent. Today, they are taught to suppress their natural masculinity. Pity this guy that your daughter is dating.

    You are being very naïve and stereotypical. Not all gay men have a soft voice, I refer you to the Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas. Some do have camp qualities, but this is not anything to do with their sexuality. It is for your daughter to manage her relationship and other than protecting your daughter from harm, you really shouldn't involve yourself. ^JB

    How does that make him gay? Not every guy is loudspoken and "manly sounding"
