Question

when is too young to be gay? or come out of the closet? ( im asking for a freind of mine)

Answer 1

Some people know when they are about 5 to 6, there is usually signs of this if people look hard enough. Coming out of the closet is fine if you have a wonderful support system, and its what you are ready to do. I think any age would work.

Answer 2

if you are you are, as long as you are sure and can handle the critisisms and ridicule that might come with it then your old enough. One of my best mates is gay and he came out of the closet about the same time 2 of his ex girlfriends did. They were lesbians and he was gay. He actually wrote a piece for the school magazine and it was a great coming out letter. I love him and he did that at age 15 or 16 so yeah he wasnt very old. But finding a good boyfriend is really hard

Answer 3

probably the cutoff is 13/14.

it is often said that people know when they are six, someone else said 3 out of 4 people are out before six, which is utter bs.
the vast majortiy of six year olds don't understand sex, how can they know their sexual preference if they aren't sexual yet, it is only with puberty and hormones and such that an indivdual can start to truly think about sex

however, many gay people, 3 out of 4ish, can think of things when they were little that indicated their orientation, but they did not know it then, only when they were in teens or later thinking about it

the biggest deciding factor is climate

if said friend lives in an open area, 13/14 works well, if he is sure (many guys go through a bit where they find men attractive through teen years, this is not gay, it just is general sexual experimentation, f friend is sure, he can come out, if not, don't cause until you're sure, it would suck to come out and decide you r not) then come out. open means where most people will support you, obviously there will always be some who wont

however, if he is not in supported area, where most people will harass him, wait until college, tell close friends, but don't go public, nothing good comes from publicly telling people who want to hit you on the head with a baseball bat

Answer 4

You can now around the age of well as far back as you can remember. You can wonder why your different but that is when you find out. Come out of the closet when he is comfortable with himself and anyone who would learn the news. If he ever wants to have sex with another guy I would advise him not to tell his parents. Then he could have a boyfriend over as a sleepover.

Answer 5

People are born gay...its in the brain wiring. However I wouldnt advocate coming out of the closet, with school friends, too early, because they are not emotionally equipped to handle that information yet....

Here is an article spefically about gay teens that may help?

Answer 6

3 out of 4 gay people know they are gay by the time they are at least 6.

Answer 7

my best friend is gay. ive known him since i was like 6 or something and i remember looking back and thinking to myself, "hes kinda feminine". but i dont know if he knew he was gay, he was always just feminine until a few years ago when he actually told me he was gay.
he just might feel confused or wonder why he has those feelings, but he will understand more when he gets older.

Answer 8

well, to me - its never too young. becuz n my family there are these boys that are about 7 - 8 years old and they hang out with girls, talk like gilrs, and they still play with barbies, but they arent labled as gay. your friend should wait until he is at least 17 or 18 to ''come out'' cuz if he says ne thing to the people at school, they will most likly treat him different and make fun of him. im goin n 2 9th grade and there is this guy at my school who shaves his legs and once everyone found out, all hell broke lose. i dont want that to happen to your friend, cuz that guy at my school gets called names, and it aint pretty. - he even asked me out. but enough about me. tell you friend to wait a while and maybe for the time being he should pretend to like girls( just for his social status) but its never too young to admitt it to yourself or family, but do not admitt it at school. good luck!

Answer 9

i think you know pretty quick in life.all my gay friends knew before puberty! they all waited till they were moved out and adults to tell there loved ones. there is no why to say for sure when to come out. it depends on the family and their outlook on the subject.

Answer 10

Is there an age limit to sexual preference? I thought it wasn't a choice, but something that was inherent. Isn't that the argument, nowadays.
