I used to have a bit of a gayface when i was younger and more twinkier. But now that i gained some muscle and have facial hair, people don't think I'm gay. One guy at my gym only found out that I'm gay because I left my phone on the table and saw my grindr app in my phone
Gay men do not differ from straight men in the size and shape of any facial feature. Rather, the use of certain expressions can become ingrained in the musculature of the face over time. Since effeminate gay men utilize similar facial expressions as women, they develop female aging and muscle contraction patterns in their face. For example, gay face includes tightness around the mouth from pursing the lips, a facial expression common to gay men and women—but not to heterosexual men.
