""The first thought I had was, 'Wow, I sound really gay', he said. 'And then I thought, I am gay. What's wrong with sounding gay?' This, he explained, led him onto 'gay voice'. He opined that 'if you're in the gay community, you are on the spectrum of gay voice. Everybody's on the spectrum.' Placing himself as a 'moderate gay voice person,' Jackson said he'd spent years being 'very afraid to come across as gay.'""
""I was like, 'Who the fuck is that?' 'Cause that ain't me,' Jackson said. He continued: 'It's taken me a long time to be comfortable with just being who I am, and it got me thinking about gay voice, and, like, personally, I love feminine men. I always have. I mean, I love all men. Lots of men. But, my favourite is feminine. I mean, have you met my husband? [Jason Landau]'""
Cheyenne Jackson addressed his relationship with what is labelled a 'gay voice' and rejected internalised homophobia about how he sounds. He acknowledged initially thinking he 'sounded really gay' and questioned why that should be a problem. He described a spectrum of 'gay voice' within the gay community and identified himself as a moderate example. Jackson recalled an old, deeper interview voice that felt inauthentic. He described long-term work to become comfortable with his authentic voice and expressed admiration for feminine men, including his husband Jason Landau.
