Imagine If they are like that and they get older and they dont tell anybody like in their family does it affect them in life very bad because they wish to come out but they cant? Please help...Because I think I know someone that im close to might be coming out.

No. I didn't know that I was gay when I was 7 or 8..I don't think I even really understood what sex was all about. It wasn't until I was about 18 that I realized that I was gay. At that point in my life I could look back and see the signs...but no, when I was young I didn't see it --I was too busy being young....
If they can tell their family it allows them to share their life with them...if they don't they always will have a big part of them that isn't shared. Sexuality in a lot of ways defines who we are.

I knew I was interested in men from a very young age, and then discovered I was also interested in women a little later (to a lesser extent than men). It was much much later that I began to classify myself as being bisexual, and now, in retrospect, I don't think I was exactly bisexual when I was younger, maybe some varied form of it.
I didn't tell anyone until somewhat recently, and it was quite hard, but the fruits of my labor greatly outweigh all of the insecurity and paranoia I felt before I did it. I could not be happier that I'm able to be myself honestly and openly with my friends and family.

Kids show a sign of homosexuality ever since they are young like 4 or 5 years old . Parents sometimes ignore it and kids themselves don't understand it . When they grow either they are so supressed by society asked to behave in (so called ) normal way .
Yes itis tough coming out . Specially the insecurity and future that makes life miserable . But eventually liing a lie becomes tougher and one thinks coming out is better than anything else .

Yes. My family and everybody suspected I was gay because I had alot of female friends and liked doing girl things when I was little but they didn't say anything good about homosexuality. I knew that they were hoping that I wasn't gay, so that made me feel unwanted. I remembered alot of the negative things that was said about me being homosexual when I was younger. It was very hard for me to acknowledge that I was gay and I held on to things that happened to me from peers that harassed me for being suspected gay in my high school years.. I didn't show no interest in men or women as a young adult. I became anti-social and didn't allow people to really get to know, I pushed people away and isolated myself. I was depressed and had anxiety problems that worsen as i stayed in the closet. It messed up my social life, self-esteem and will to live. There was just so much stress on me being in the closet and not expressing my feelings. I couldn't even say the words i'm gay outloud at first, it was very hard to claim that label to begin with.

I have many gay/lesbian friends and those that didn't know when they were very young, were basically the kind of people who listened to society. When they get older they had to face facts but it takes time for them. Some were gay bashers until they came out which may sound surprising but they were taught to believe it wasn't acceptable. Which is why they couldn't accept it for their own lives until much later.

Most people know it from the start, but some people catch on later in life if they are. It's best to come out and be truthful about who you are. LIving a lie is never any good and it makes you miserable. If someone else can't handle it, too bad. They will learn to adjust.

The instruction mamual for the creation of homosexuals. In youth, anywhere from being a child to teenagerhood (?), if a child is sexually molested, aroused or engaged from his anus, these people will always have an itch for this kind of sexually activity. They need anal stimulation to get off. Another way to create a gay man is have him raised by women or put him in a position in which there no real "Man" in his life to model after where he will symbolically try to recup masculine attention by engaging physically with men. Little or big, it depends on his environment. If any of the above two has happened, he probably has an anal complex.

I think you know it...just like when you are straight and you know it. When you are young you have little crushes on people and you don't really think about whether you are straight or gay or whatever. I think it's when you start going through puberty and you are educated on homosexuality that you begin to establish whether you are straight or gay. I had a friend and a step bro who are both gay and i knew they wanted to come out and my friend came out to me but it took him a couple more years before he came out to our other friends and his family. i don't know if you can push your friend along...they'll come out when they're ready. Just be supportive.

it is a difficult issue...some know and others deny, while others are naive about the whole thing....

In my opinion being Bi is the same as being gay. ( not that there is anything wrong with that )
