Gay People only: What age did you know you were gay?

Answer 1

I figured out that I had a "problem" with homosexuality when I was 11 or 12 years old. I kept it VERY secret and didn't act on those desires until MUCH later. I tried very hard to become a straight person. I did everything my parents, pastor, and the bible said, yet, no matter what I tried, I still wanted to love and be loved by another guy. No matter how hard I prayed, no matter how much I studied the Bible , no matter how much I pretended that I was straight, it didn't change anything. The older I got, the more I wanted to love and be loved by another guy.

When I was 21 years old, I decided this was the way I was meant to be... I'm now 39, this weekend I will be celebrating my 16 year anniversary, and I'm happier than I have ever been before in my life.

Answer 2

14

Answer 3

About 11 or 12. Right before Middle School, I began to become attracted to other boys.

Finally, my freshman year of high school, I became introduced to the gay culture in my theater troop in high school.

When I was 17, I accepeted that I was gay myself and at 18, began to dicuss this with others.

My family still doesn't know, as threy arn't ready for the news yet.

Answer 4

I knew I was into both sexes at the age of 5 or 6. Me and a neighborhood boy where looking at his Dad's porno collection and I liked to see both the men and the women. I wanted to touch both of them and be able to kiss on both of them.
So I knew I was bi at an early age but didn't really know what it was all about. I know that the neighborhood boy told me I was weird because I liked both so I also learned to hide the fact at an early age.

Answer 5

I was a small kid, but first time I entered the world of gay when it was entered inside me, when I was 18 , about 17 years ago,till now it was the best experience, I never met him after, :(

Answer 6

When I was very young, about 8 or 9, I found myself staring at other men. Especially at the men with good looking muscled bodies. Since then, those feelings have gone stronger and stronger. I lose myself when I see a good-looking man. I think I'm addicted to them...

Answer 7

I didn't acknowledge and act upon my feelings until I was 19 years old and just out of basic training.

Since then I can go back to about the 7th grade and remember watching guys in gym class.

Answer 8

How the hell do I know. For me it was always there and I never questioned it; it was business as usual. I never had some life changing revelation; and personally I feel bad for some guys who have had to work so much in accepting themselves; I am lucky in that it was never a dramatic issue.

Answer 9

i was confused as a child.... i though about it when i was 8 but never thought hard enough till like 14 and then i experienced kissing a boy and i liked it.... so then i tried with a girl and it wasnt the same thing... so im full on gay... and im proud and im out@

Answer 10

i was deep in the closet, my father was a gay basher (talk not physically), which is weird since he finally came out at 50, i came out at 24, although i probably should have suspected something sooner, since i had all these girl on girl encounters as a kid, really hated sex with my husband and said i did not find other men attractive because i was "soooo in love with my ex-husband)
