What Age Did You Accept That You Were Gay/Lesbian?

13

 

I realized it when I was 13 and had a crush on a girl..I was never in denial about it because I didn't see it as a bad thing or something to be ashamed of

 

About a year ago, little by little. Was 18 at the time.

 

I had an inclination of the fact by the time I was 9-10, took until I was 15-16 to fully accept the fact that I was gay.

 

I accepted myself before I knew what it meant to be gay at age nine.

 

Around 16 years old.

 

16

 

19/20

 

14.

 

My first same-sex attraction that I remember happened when I was 13. I didn't process that until I was 15. At 16 I was comfortable being gay.

 

My first girl crush was when I was about 7 but I didn't have a clue back then. When I was 15 I knew I was attracted to another girl but still didn't question my sexuality. Only once I was 19 and spending a lot of time on the Internet did I first think that I could be gay. After turning 20 I knew for sure.

 

I accepted it when I was 16, but I started feeling same-sex attractions at around 14 or 15.

 

When I was 16 I think. Those days were hard for me.

 

I was fine with it when I was younger but when I got to HS I wanted to fit in and wanted a gf and even got really close to a girl and everyone called us a couple but I knew I'd never be happy. So I guess I officially accepted it around 19/20

 

I am not fully there, but I had my first 'f*ck it' moment when I was 17.

 

15 going 16. When I first fall in love with a friend of my brother. It was something so strong made me finally accept my attention for men is not going anywhere.

 

12 but didn't embrace it til I was 15 (!!).
Came out to first person at 18, family at 20. (!)

 

When I was 11, I started to have a crush on a school jock, and I started to feel attracted to other guys...I never pushed the feelings away, so I accepted it the minute I found out...

 

Realized at 16. Accepted it at 16 as well.
