How old were you when you knew you were Different?

how old were you, and how did u come to realise that you were Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Or trans-sexual, or anything else.

I was about 17 when i realized i was bisexual. I saw a girl naked, in person, for the first time and i couldn't stop thinking about how attractive her body was.

I was 15 when I thought I might not be straight. I thought I might be bisexual, so I ran with it. Turns out, that was just a transitional phase because I didn't want to believe I was gay. At 16, I came to terms and came out as full-blown gay.

i found out when i was 11. i just took a liking to men.one year after that i went on my first date.i found out i was gay. sweatdrop

Really young. I'd say about 8-ish. I didn't fully come to terms with it until just after my 21st birthday.

12. I had to do alot of hiding for years. Couldn't really do anything in fear of being tossed out the house and mocked endless. But at this age, i'm happy because i've stopped hiding and stopped caring about what my family will say to me.

I really don't know how it happened to me, but I think I was straight, but gay when I was younger. From grades 4-7 I only had crushes on girls, but it alll changed in Grade 7. For some reason on google I'd look at muscular men and liked it, but at the same time I had a crush on a girl.

Then later on in the year, I developed a crush on two guys, one was a dude in grade 8 and the other was on my best friend who was in grade 9. Then I slowly started to stop liking girls. I came out as bisexual, but later on I confirmed I was gay. uwu

When I was 7. My best friend was a girl who came to Canada from Russia when we were 6. She had a strong accent and was/still is very attractive. So yeah...

It's hard to know for sure when I knew, because I was in denial most of my childhood.
When I was in 1st grade, I kissed a boy and said "I wish you were a girl, so I could marry you". But at that age I had no idea what I was saying.
In 5th grade I got my first serious crush on a guy. It lasted for over 6 years. But it was a totally STRAIGHT crush in my mind. Yep. Masturbating to men was TOTALLY STRAIGHT. So was feeling him up every chance I got.
Age 16 was about when I acknowledged I was gay, and age 17 was when I admitted that it was okay, but I'm not sure when I actually knew, because I surpressed it for so long.

12, but I didn't fully face it until recently.  

[SilentVex]

Recently I started thinking different about guys. I really don't know if its a phase or not but, I'm going with it. Got nothing else to do really, I mean I COULD resist but then it would just drive me crazy.

Really, still sorta coming to terms with it. But I'm comfortable with it more or less.

Growing up,I always knew I was different.I didn't have many female friends from kindergarten to about 8th grade.I would always cut the hair of the barbies my parents got me to dress them up as guys.When I was 8 years old,I told my mother I wanted to dress as a guy for Halloween.It wasn't till I was in the 6th year I started to look at girls really.When high school hit,I really saw that I wanted a gf,but could never find one due to being so overly shy when it came to girls.I was just more open with guys,since I had so many male friends.  

[Thirteenth_Floor]

probably elementary school, around third grade i believe. had an unhealthy infatuation with a close friend of mine named Alex. us not being friends anymore still bugs me to this day. never really understood what it meant back then, and like all things suppressed it until a bit after my mom passed away in middle school. only just recently been out to a lot of people smile

i first realized i wasnt straight when i was between 3-5 years old
for about 2 years i didnt know i was any different then the other girls and i thought everyone liked both guys and girls
then i found out and had been bi
but i VERY recently lost all attraction to guys so now im wondering if im really a lesbian  

[Pink Slowpoke]

When I look back now on some level I always knew even when I was really really young, though I didn't start to understand it till I was 14-15ish and even then I didn't accept it till I was 18 and that's around about when I came out.

i always knew i liekd girls aswell as boys. i was in 6th grade when i first found out that some people thought that was wrong. i had no idea that having sex with someone of your same gender was something people thought you would go to hell for. that made me leave christianiy for a long time.

i was in 10th grade when it finally dawned on me that not everyone was bisexual. im 23 and i still find it odd that some people only like one gender. its something i dont think ill ever understand.

sexuality and orientation was never something my parents talked to me about so i assumed that since i liked bother sexes then it was safe to assume everyone else did too. i had never even heard the word bisexual until i was in 10th grade. i lived a very sheltered life with a very accepting family
