What people have historically called a "gay lisp" is actually a hyper-articulation of /s/ or /z/, and as you might expect, /s/ and /z/ have a lot of high frequency sounds in them. Weird as it sounds there is a possible scenario where an audio codec does a worse job reproducing the audio content of gay male speech compared to straight male speech.
