How are gays different from eunuchs?

How does a straight person come to know they are straight? It is pretty much the same way. You find out who you are attracted to. A eunuch is someone who has been castrated. That is very different from being gay.

Homosexuals and bisexuals have to go through a stage of coming out - even if its only to themselves. Both groups have initial confusion (and often denial) about their feelings in the early stages. Eventually, after a process which can last many years, they come to accept their orientation and then they explore it, and start coming out to other people.
Bisexuals have a much more difficult time because their attractions/experiences don't correspond with the mainstream straight and gay communities - they have a sense of not belonging anywhere, and have very little resources available to help them understand their own feelings.
Both homosexuals and bisexuals have to put up with homophobia from mainstream society and religion. Bisexuals also have to put up with biphobia from some members of the gay community.

Eunuchs are people incapable of having sex. Where as homosexuals are into sex with their own gender and it is generally because they feel attracted to their own gender and not the opposite gender. And then there is the other 62 percent of the population that feel soem attraction to both genders.

I am a lesbian and I know this because I am attracted to women.

It comes when they are discovering their sexuality. Just like the straight people...

Knowing what kind of genitalia you possess is a big help.
