When did you realise you were gay/bi/trans?

[Psychedelic Bookmarks]

By this, I mean when you first seriously thought to yourself "I am lgbt" and believed it.

[KatoKumi]

I was like, 4.
Watching the Mole :]




And I wanted this guy to get the nude painting done, but then a girl did it.
So I was like, laaaame;




That's when I KNEW it; not when I accepted it.

Urmmm


Hmmm

I guess i didn't really label myself untill i had actually thought about it. I knew it was gay to be looking and thinking about guys for 'fun' but i assumed it would just phrase out.

So like

14ish? but I've been doing all manner of gay 'fun' from like 11-12

8th grade.
When I was young, I'd get instant crushes on girls, but, they're extremely short lived. Then, I went to an extremely long hiatus (from around 9-14) of not having ANY types of crushes.

Then suddenly, out of nowhere, I get that one realization (and my only one so far) in 8th grade where I jut instantly knew I was gay. Kinda weird, but, meh.

Well, if we're talking about seriously believing it - or rather, *letting* myself believe it - early twenties.... It was the first time I'd ever seriously given myself time to think it over, and to come to the logical conclusion...

I knew I was attracted to my own gender at a very early age, but I didn't realize "Hey, those people they're making fun of - I'm one of them" until about age 10.

When I was 13, but I took me about a year to accept it and stop being so depressed over it.

I was 15 when I knew for sure. I had been suspecting it since I was 12 though. Even tried to turn myself straight by looking at a sex scene from a movie. It damn near worked for a while. I thought I was bi at 12, tried to turn myself straight by looking at stuff, then I thought I was bi again in summer of 2006, tried to turn myself straight AGAIN, but then I came across a Metaloclaypse slash community and REALLY liked it a lot and realized that I am indeed gay.

Understood what i may be at 13, but always knew something was kind of different.

[Zec24]

Yeah I was around 20 when I first let myself think I was gay. I guess I probably knew it subconsciouly from the time I was 14. I think I repressed myself pretty well.

[Pepsi]

I knew for sure when I was 12

[Kenko]

I was 19. I was on the bus at the time, about 10AM. There were subconscious hints before that.

[Jard]

I realized it at 12. I had my first "Yes, you're gay (or at least bi), now get over it" thought probably five or six days later.

[Grof142007]

like 5 i alway was looking at guys hope something would happen

[jroakwood]

i put 5/6 but it couldve even been before that.
i dont know why, it seems wierd. but i always remember knowing.

[MonsieurGodiva]

I've known for sure since I was 14, although I had suspicions before then.

I knew since i was 12 but was in denial about it for 5 years

[Orion]

Well there was a first stage when I was around 5 in which I innocently experimented (yes, innocently) afterwards I completely forgot about that and 10 or 9 years later it came back!

I remember when I came across the "wrong" kind of porn. After that it just hit me and I began the process that led me here with you people!

Of course, subconsciously I may have suspected it long before that, but I kept postponing it until I couldn't do it anymore. Phew what a relief then huh?

[step49x]

Hmm, the first time I consciously admitted it to someone else (and myself) was the summer after 11th grade, when I was around 17.

[Alexander]

I think if I was looking for it I would have realized it sooner. As it was, I was left in peace to hang with the ladies and have all my straight guy friends be jealous at me muahahah.
