Where's the "other" option? All gay men don't talk with a lisp. It's not a phenomenon that exists in all cultures either, so I'd pin it down as something partially physiological/sociological.
Generally the conformation to gay stereotypes by gays is in order to let other people know they gay just by looking at them so that gay people don't need to go to the effort of fidning out who is gay and who isn't when looking for a boyfriend.
Another explanation for some homosexual stereotypical behaviour is that homosexuals identify themselves more with the opposite sex more than heterosexuals do and thus pick up traits of the other gender. I've noticed myself acting more girly after coming out as being bi.
Why do many gay men speak with a lisp?

Thank you! I know quite a few gay men in person and none of them talk with a lisp.
Perhaps the poll creator should stop watching TV and realize that not all gay men are flamboyant lispers.
