Many gay guys have a ‘gay’ looking face. Pete Buttigieg anyone??? Apparently this is a mix of feminine and masculine features which give a gay appearance. In one study, they cropped gay men’s faces of piercings and hair and put them on blank backgrounds. People could guess they were gay with ~85% accuracy. Gay people clearly have this strange combo of genetics or hormones in womb that create this and their attraction to men.
Does ‘gay face’ prove a biological cause of homosexuality?

OP please educate yourself about what gayface is, and is not. Pete does not have gayface.

It's also not a mix of masculine and feminine features. It has to do with an enlongated chin and a bigger mouth, among other things. Once you understand that "someone who has feminine features" is NOT gayface, you are on the path of discovery and learning.

R1 you’re obviously using the definition in which gay men give each other a ‘look’. I’m referring to their facial structure. And yes, it is to do with feminine and masculine features together. It’s written in peer reviewed medical journals. One study found on average a longer forehead, but this isn’t ALWAYS the case. You can’t box it in about a elongated chin because there are super gay looking men with short chins too.

R5 there is only one definition of gayface, and it is not whatever you are on about. A medical journal would never call a mix of masculine and feminine features "gayface" in any case. You're using an already existing term incorrectly.
Identifying gay men through facial features is not the same as "gayface" which is a specific set of facial features and even the way someone moves their jaw and mouth when talking (and before you jump to conclusions, it is not necessarily a feminine voice). It has nothing to do with masculinity or femininity.
R9 no, that is not gayface.

Gay face is probably real considering many gay men are attracted to straight guys faces... not just because gay men might act more feminine.

For me, it has nothing to do with OP's suggestion of "a mix of feminine and masculine features which give a gay appearance", but everything to do with a pulled tight, often tensed face, a purposeful attentiveness and quite often barring of teeth (back to the farthest molars), as if someone were pushed onto a stage like a deer into oncoming headlights and told to "sparkle!" It's a nervous and put on fake "friendly" look all about self-awareness and lacking in ease.

R19 - I haven’t seen that... but I think the mouth shape and surrounding muscles are often very gay. People have said this is a learned behaviour but I think smiles are inherited and a lot of gay men seem to have their mothers smiles. They inherit this feminine physical trait in this regard. Straight guys smiles often look more masc.

Maybe it also depends on if someone is a top or bottom or more masculine or feminine in personality? There is also a similar study about body types and it could be true. Do you know about these #transvestigation videos on youtube? These "investigators" think certain celebs are trans because of their body type but maybe they just unintentionally out homosexuals?

R1- Is correct Buttigieg does NOT have any features on his face that look GAY. The OP is an idiot. He's just applying that phrase wily nily.
It's NEVER the whole face that's gay it's features on the face. The LIPS and the EYES. VERY FEMININE colored and shaped lips and the eyes that are glassy, stary and pupils permanently dialated. A great example of a celebrity who has EXTREMELY GAY lips and EXTREMELY STARY eyes is Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

R83, your point seems to illustrate that "gayface" is an identifiable thing. Does it apply specifically and exclusively to homosexuals? No. Does it indicate that Michael Sheen is gay? No. Does it indicate that Marcus Bachmann is gay? I wish the fuck not. Does every gay man have "gayface"? No, no more than every lesbian has "caneface".
Everyone has their own idea of what a hipster is, but once you get to the details and examples you realize that there is great variety in what those ideas look like. There's some truth to that with "gayface," but I think within narrower parameters.
I would say Michael Sheen is an example from the elfin-goofus-"gay or British?" end of the "gayface" spectrum.

There is even a "gay brain". So "gay face" is a possibility. Women tend to have different facial features than men on average too. Unfortunately, many people of the lgbt community believe in the feminist drivel that "gender is a social construct" and "has no roots in biology", so it will take a lot more time until we can find out more about lgbt in terms of biological research.
