When did you know and how did you come out?

In college when I realized that I enjoyed men as much as women sexually

 

Mine's much the same as Night_Owl's.

 

I knew I was different from a very early age, and came out completely at 13. I had lots of support, and went to 13-21 clubs in my city for glb youth. So, it was easier for me. This was the 80's (I'm 34.) and things were different though. We still had an underground. Now, straight people have taken so many aspects of our culture and call it their own.

I started liking guys when I was like 12 and I really knew I did when my cousin got a porno mag, and I couldn't keep my eyes off the guys.

 

About a few months ago, and im 16 now....

 

Hahaha, I misread your post i_am_confused, and I thought you said "a few minutes ago."

I was going to be like, "well isn't that somthin'!"

 

i still don't

 

lol that would be a bit of a twist

 

I think I was around 16, I always knew something was different, but never knew what until then.

 

When I was seventeen, I had a wake up call. When i was fourteen I was looking at naked women in a magazine and felt love butterflies, and i didn't think of it as odd. It just kinda flew by me. I finally accepted the fact that I like both men, and women at the age nineteen. I am more attracted to women then men. Please don't take offence men out there. As i have gotten older I have turned more and more to women.

 

After several months of stressing about it, I "discovered" I was bi about halfway through eighth grade, when I admitted that I had a huge crush on this one guy...and it all went on from there. Actually, shortly after that I went through a phase where I tried to retract that statement, but fortunately that only lasted a day or two.

Nowadays I consider myself gay, but back then it was much more comfortable to refer to myself as "bisexual with very, very gay tendancies".

 

Yeah it was like that for me too. That's basically what I called it.

 

I realized that i liked guys when i was 11... i considered myself bi unil like the middle of the last school year... cuz i realized that i've never been turned on by a girl.. so why pretened i'm bi? lol..

 

I'm bi, and I'd been attracted to men since I was probably about 12 or 13, but never really recognized it until this year. I still like women more than men though, but I do consider myself bi. I'm 15 now btw...

 

Well..

In elementary school.. certain kids would joke with me about it. Then middle school I dated lots of girls.. but in the last year or so I've kinda stopped living in denial and started kinda knowing that well.. well I can't type it. LOL clearly it's hard for me

 

At what age do you think and how did it come about?

 

I always knew I was different. I never fit in. I was the sterotypical sissy as a child. I had a friend that I was in "love" with when I was 11/12 years of age. He was an early bloomer, athletic, and sexy and 2 years older than me. I was totally into him. He was my first sex partner and we engaged in sex for approximately 3 years. After 3 years time, the hetro bullshit kicked in. The behavior we engaged in was inappropriate for him. He rejected me and moved on to hetro bullshit lifestyle. I say hetro bullshit because in retrospect I believe he is truly gay. I believe he was only conforming to expectations.

We never hooked up again and after college I lost track of him.

However, he was my first love and it is really sweet looking back on the relationship.

 

I too always knew I were different, though for a long time I didnt understand just in what way.Around 11 I realised that I werent like the other girls around me who were going crazy over boys, at 12 I blew into a full fledged Butch , tomboy, whatever, then at 14 had my first actual girlfriend, in secret of course. I came out to my mom awhile back and she said she knew all along !!!

 

While I think this is an excellent subject it has been merged with another thread thats basically the same topic.

can people please make sure that you only post one thread about a topic, if theres already a thread on a subject that your interested in, just add to that.
once a thread goes off the first page it gets much less interest and we only have a limited amount of space per page

Yes I thought the two questions were much different but now I see they are very similiar. And I don't understand why anyone would merge it with another topic, even if they seem the same, they are still noticably different. That makes no sense to me but oh well.
