How old were you?

Question

When you found out you were gay or lesbian!
and how? what did your parents and friends said
about it. If you were reborn would you pick to be gay/or lesbian

Answer 1

Hi I'm 24, I am gay, I knew from about the age of 5 or six, I only came out at 22.

If I were re borne I would pick str8 as it would make life so much simpler! it's far from easy being gay and the hardest person to come out to is YOURSELF! once you have accepted it you will be fine and you soon realise that acceptance is great but it should NOT be expected, just apreciated! Xx

Answer 2

I don't remember how old I was when I found out. I'm pretty sure I always knew that I liked boys and not girls. I didn't know it was defined as the word "gay" until elementary school. My parents don't know and I have only told one friend. That friend is over the net, but she was okay with it. If I was reborn I would choose to live a normal live as a straight girl or guy.

Answer 3

I found out when I was about 13 yro, some friends were talking about a porn page "girls.com" and when I got home I checked it but I felt curious about visiting "boys.com", turned out I liked it more. First I went to the stage where I told my self I was bi but then I accepted the truth, I was 100% gay. I loved men as much a bigots love reciting the bible. And I began to reflect about my past and I realized that I have always been gay, or at least different at some level.

When my mother found out she went through the stages of grief, she got stuck in bargain for a while but finally she accepted it.
My dad doesn't know and if he found out he would must likely kick me out of the house and blame it on my mother :/ ...

"If you were reborn would you pick to be gay/or lesbian?"
OF COURSE YES!!! I love everything about who I am, even if it is hard to be like this sometimes. But accepting and loving yourself is the first step to let others accept and love you. And to be honest if I wasn't gay I would be just another boring, average guy.

Answer 4

I was 18 when I came out to myself....but, looking back, I know I always was. It was the early 80's at the time, and the bigots were pointing their fingers again and passing judgment against us because of this new disease called AIDS (which we now no is NOT a gay disease). I was scared and closeted back then. I didn't come out to friends until my 30s, and didn't come out to my family until I was 41. they have all been very accepting of me and still love me just the same.
If I were reborn would I pick to be lesbian? If this were something you could choose (which we all know is how we are born, it is not a choice), yes, I would. but, knowing now what I didn't know then....I would have come out sooner because I know I would still be loved and accepted.

Answer 5

I began to understand that I'm gay around the age of 13, I knew I was different from 5 years old and everyone knew that I was different from other males and suspected that I was gay. My friend came out at 15 but I refused to accept that I was gay until I was about 23 years old, I absolutely hated it and wanted the feelings for men to leave but at the same time, I would find myself falling for male friends, sometimes I would even keep myself from guys. I had mixed emotions. If I had to do it over again, I would be bisexual and would've came out alot sooner than I did. I would come out at 15 when my friend did because since I didn't come out when he did, are friendship grew apart and I wish so much that didn't happened. I really need my friend.

Answer 7

I've liked both girls and boys since I was *tiny*. What changed was my perceptions, from thinking I'm normal to thinking I'm a freak who God hates to thinking I'm not like everyone else and that's okay.

My mother was horrified and tried pretending, even when I fell in love with another girl at age 18. My friends were mostly okay with it, except for a few from my Bible Club, which isn't a surprise in retrospect.

I'd choose to be bi again. It's a neutral thing that I used to make my life great.

Answer 8

I'd known for a while but I didn't actually come to terms with bisexuality until I was fourteen and even then I remained closeted.

If I were born again I'd want to be a kitty cat. Seriously though yeah I'd still be bi. I'm at peace with myself, why change a thing?

Answer 9

I was 23 when I "verbalize" that I was a lesbian...But I've always known...I'm now 36 and happier then I've ever been! My parents don't really talk about it. However I just wanted them to know and that's all that really mattered to me.

Answer 10

I found out I was bi when I was 14 in 9th grade when I started getting attractions to guys as well as girls. My dad doesn't know but my mom told me only to date girls and I'm not too happy with her about it (not like I'd listen to her anyway lol). And yes, I love myself as bi and would definitely want to be bi again if I was reborn.
