    I don't know if I've "accepted" it...I realized I was gay at 18, but I didn't like it...so I haven't "accepted" it yet.

    Always knew, but told myself it was a phase. Probably in the last few years (I'm 35 now). I'm married and committed so it doesn't change a lot. But it feels nice to truly accept myself for what I am.

    I was 11 when I realized my orientation, so I don't actively cover it up by saying I'm straight. But since I'm a bi girl, It usually works out fine to just low key use gender neutral pronouns when talking with friends about how we want our relationships to be like, or to say ,"ha ha, well I did crush on a couple of girls" and be written off as an average straight girl. (I guess it's just seen as platonic affection) Also I feel really nervous about coming out by saying that "I'm bi" because I'm afraid I won't be able to handle criticism/disbelief from others, so I don't know if that counts as "accepting" my orientation.

    I figured out I was gay in January of 2011. I accepted it in July of 2013. I went back into denial in August of 2014. I reaccepted myself in January of 2015. I went back into denial again in January of 2016 because of some people but I got away from it and reaccrpted myself after I stopped talking to them some time in July of 2016.

    Probably around 14. My first crush when I was little was a girl (i identified as female at the time so this freaked me out) but I ignored it after a while. Thought I was straight until age 12 when my mum told me that homosexuality was a thing (i was a very sheltered kid thanks to my parents), and I was like oh damn that's me, but I then went back to ignoring it for a while. Then, at age 14 I realised I have crushes on everyone. I also realised nonbinary/genderqueer was a thing right at age 14, and I knew that I was attracted to that as well, b/c gender doesn't matter to me.

    Honestly, there are days when I'm perfectly happy being gay, and there are days I'm not. And I'm 25. I've known for ages too, so I'm a bit disappointed that I'm not completely comfortable with it yet.
