Does he frequently refer to other guys as being attractive? Does he gush about his favorite male characters on television or the latest hot-topic celebrity? Does he get all tongue tied around the quarterback or the office stud?
Things like this can be a cue that he likes them with a little bit more than basic admiration. For example, if he says something like, "Oh man, I spent all weekend hanging out with Jacob. He was so nice and felt so natural to be around him. Think about how he talks about women. You might also want to look for language which shows a lack of interest in women or an absence of language that would normally show an interest in women. This can be another indicator that he's gay.

Watch for signs that they're hiding something or that they're ashamed or embarrassed about something, since this can be an indication. For example, if you invite him to go do something else during the same weekend as the Pride festival and he says that he is busy, that might be an indication.

One of the theories about why some people are gay has to do with the hormones that they're exposed to before they're born. These hormone exposure levels may manifest in actual, physical ways which can be a vague indicator that a guy might be gay. Look for a feminine walk, body shape [1] , or finger length [2].

Don't judge based on feminine voice or way of talking. Although some people in the gay culture may put on a certain voice or a way of speaking, your friend talking in a similar or "effeminate" way is still not a very good way to judge. Some guys are simply soft-spoken or have naturally feminine ways of speaking. For example, he may simply be shy or grew up around someone who talked in a similar way.
