Do you cringe when a partner baby talks with you? Or do you find it sweet and endearing? Is baby talk something more common amongst straight people? Do gay men recoil from it as it’s not seen as manly?
We have to admit that it’s not a topic that has really crossed our minds before. However, it’s the focus of the latest video from YouTube comic Michael Henry, who manages to raise laughs aplenty and food for thought.
It all begins when Henry and two gay friends overhear a straight man indulging in baby talk with his girlfriend on the phone.
Henry and his friend are horrified… with Henry saying baby talk is “straight people shit”. That’s until Henry’s friends admit that they often indulge from time to time. One even quotes a survey that found two-thirds of relationships use baby talk occasionally.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
It seems the only person not receiving any baby talk is the perenially single Henry.
Check it out below(and do watch to the end as the bloopers after the credits are particularly funny).
How do you react when a boyfriend baby talks to you?
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
I broke up with a sweet guy 32 years ago precisely because of the baby talk stuff. It annoyed the crap out of me and he wouldn’t put it to rest even when I told him it annoyed me.
