I came across this rather interesting article.

"The way people pronounce their "s" sounds and the amount of resonance they use when speaking contributes to the perception of gender, according to Lal Zimman, whose findings are based on research he completed while earning his doctoral degree from CU-Boulder's linguistics department."

Hehe, I get it >.>
That was an interesting article, but that tells me that gay men that use that "s" enunciation must have pretty deep voices to come off as sounding like they are guys o.o Those clips were at 140Hz which is deeper than my normal voice and the second one did sound female.
