    I notice i was different and start to question myself around 13...
    8 or 9 months later (i was 14) i know that i'm gay and i accept it myself. But in that resolution i realize that the path i'm taking is a hard and rough one :frowning2:

    When I first realized that other gay men existed when I was eleven or twelve.

    I first realized that I was not straight when I was around nine years old but I didn't know what it meant to be gay until I was around eleven or twelve.

    I first started to think I was at around 13, but didn't fully embrace the fact until I was around late 14 early 15.

    Barcafan: If you are going to ask everyone else this question......why not share with us your own answer to this question to.

    It's only fair.

    When I left my homophobic household for college, I thought to myself "Pretty sure I'm straight but it would be okay if I fell in love with a girl." A few years later, that very thing happened. It wasn't until after my girlfriend and I had been dating for a while that I realized I had a serious crush on a girl in high school but I didn't recognize it as a crush--I just thought I really wanted to be her friend.

    Long story short: Somewhere around 20/21.

    At ten, I technically knew I was LGBT+, so that's what I voted for on the poll.

    But it wasn't until I was fourteen that I was really identifying as a lesbian. At ten, I really only knew that I was attracted to girls, and wasn't putting the 'lesbian' label on it.

    Below ten.

    I believed that I was bisexual from the very beginning. I expected that I would be with the opposite sex, but I was always very much aware that I could have a romantic connections with the same sex. It wasn't until I was about eleven and I started to realize that attraction wasn't just about having an connection and becoming analytical enough to compare the way that I view women to the way that my male peers did that I realized that I wasn't truly attracted to them.

    Hard to say. I had a pretty messed up upbringing. Discovering I was bi was a long process. I kept wanting to deny my sexuality for years and years.

    I was 11 when I realized I was gay. Accepted it around 13 and have started to come out at 14.

    I'd suspected stuff from about 11 on, but I didn't really realise until I was 14.

    When I was growing up I always assumed that I would eventually start liking girls but by the time I was 16 I realized that I was never attracted to girls and had always liked guys. I didn't know that this meant I was gay. It wasn't until I was around 20 or so that I realized it myself and I didn't officially come out until I was about 24.

    15 years old, a few months away from my 16th birthday. I was questioning my gender for basically as long as I lived, but this was the first time the truth hit me in the face.

    Before, I really liked the LGBT community, but I could never understand why. Now, I know. I could probably have figured it out a lot sooner if trans issues were talked about more in Quebec.

    About 11 or 12. I know it was last school year but I can't remember how old I was at that time.
