Also when I was younger, people made fun of me because "I talked white" and because I "sounded gay". There would be this boy in the locker room who would constantly obsess/drag me about it from the day I went to my summer camp until my mom picked me up.

That is traumatic!
I always remember going to my dad one day when I was like 8/9/10 crying because I was always getting bullied for being gay and I'll never forget how he told me it was just because of "who I was" and not to worry about it. At the time I thought he was unhelpful and rude, but looking back he was actually being supportive and accepting of who I could potentially be back then. So thank god I didn't have one of those Bible belt "if you turn out gay I'll disown you" type dads.

Pretty much what mine is. Deep, but nasally and I guess combined with my accent and speech nuances and pronunciation, it all just makes for a very "gay" sounding voice. And obviously calling it "gay" is problematic, but ya'll know what I mean...
well, "feminine" would be the right word, i suppose
that totally doesn't match with my personality...
