when I was very young I started questioning it.

I first started questioning when I was around 16 or 17. However, I think at some level, I always knew. When I first started questioning it, I prefer ed to think that I might be bisexual, even though I'd never thought about women or girls in a sexual way. The moment that I came to the actual realization was in Science class, I kept starring at this really cute guy, and I "didn't know why." I thought to myself "I don't want him to see me looking at him, then he might think that I'm gay." Then I remembered my questioning, and realized that I might be gay. "No" I thought. But then I couldn't stop looking at this guy! I thought about it for a while, and I came to the conclusion that I WAS gay. About a week later, after some people started harassing me about being gay (which they did before, I just didn't pay any attention to it because I believed I was straight) I went into denial. That lasted for a whole hour or so, until I started thinking about guys again.

About 5 years old, when I was attracted to men's bodies on TV...had no idea why, just was. And, truthfully, I did not make a choice. I had no idea what sex meant when I first realized the attraction was there. But, the sight of a well built man with his shirt off was a 'turn on" to a kid of 5. So you tell me if genes do not play a role in being gay.

I was 13 when I began to question my sexuality, and 15 when I accepted my bisexuality.
I started to have feelings for this flautist in my junior high band, which I thought was weird at the time, but that dwindled a year later when we both got into high school. Then when I was 14 I had even stronger feelings for this junior I met through the Italian club--as close to love as I have ever gotten. I had never felt this way before or since I met her. I never told her how I felt because I was confused as hell and didn't want to admit that I liked her--a lot. Unfortunately, I found out the next year (when I was a sophomore and she a senior) that she was had a boyfriend and had been going steady with him for 4 years--ever since the end of her 8th grade. That hit me like a ton of bricks. It was only two weeks before school ended that I finally admitted to myself and accepted the fact that I was attracted to girls--and guys.
However, I remember having feelings for girls in 3rd grade, but for some reason it didn't send up red flags. It happened in 5th grade, too. However, I wasn't into the whole "relationship" thing back then, and I didn't know anything about sexuality back then, either. But I know that I began to question it at 13.
How about you?

When I was a younger teenager I was so homophobic, then I realized it's because I was gay, got over it and accepted it, and I've been comfortable with myself sine then. I'm kind've ashamed for acting that way though.

For me it was the first time I started to have feelings for a dude I was hooking up with on occasion. Before that I was in denial whenever I hooked up with a dude chalking it up to being just a "phase".

I was 20 years old, and then I came to terms with myself, I accepted myself, and I was finally happy in my life.
