when you realized that you were gay, bi, straight, etc.? I knew I was bi back when I was in kindergarten, although I didn't know a word for it. Just curious!

I was always looking for a handsome prince to sweep me off my feet when I was three years old and I could never understand anyone being s*xally interested in someone of the same s*x. I did go through a period of being with my girl friends when it did not have the s*xual connotations we have now. Now what word do we use? Girl chums? Boy chum? It sounds so stupid. I can just say friends, but with bis and that, who have s*x with their girlfriends and boyfriends, then they can have it with their friends. So what do I do? Are we people who are with those of the opposite s*x, are we not allowed to have friends anymore?

I've kinda always known I was a lesbian, but I didn't accept it until high school, maybe sophomore or junior year.

I guess that I always knew that I was a little different from most of the kids that were my age when I was growing up. I was the guy that didnt mind working with the girls if we had to break into groups. I did finally tell my parents when i was 14 that I am bi. Luckily my mother has been very accepting, and I have been with a great guy for 5.5 years now. BTW I am 23.

Way back when....I think it was 7th grade. I was at Blockbuster and saw a really interesting movie called Come Undone, and when I picked it up and read the back, it was about two guys in love. I almost dropped the movie I started to shake so bad. I even cried that night. You may ask why, and even I didn't understand why I would be crying at picking up a gay movie, but I just knew. I just knew. Amazing how it happens like that. Meanwhile, I dated a few girls until I finally came out when I was 17.

I am straight, & it never occurred to me otherwise. How did you figure out you were bi in kindergarten, as that is very young to have that kind of awareness.

Hi gwendovere! I guess I have always known that I am straight since the day I was born. I haven't questioned my sexuality or have any doubts about it. And I have nothing against anyone who are bi's or gays because i have so many friends and acquaintances who are very dear in my heart. I guess, it is always good to know where one stands and knows herself or himself pretty well. Take care and have a nice day.

I knew I was in love with girls the moment this little ngihborhood girl took me into the bushes and we kissed. I have a gay uncle who admited he knew he was gay in elementary school, I'm talking kindergarten first gradish! That's astonighing to me, how can you be so young but so aware at the same time. I honestly am leaning towards the being gay as genetic .
