Topic: When did you know?

Not too sure what category this would fall into but, when did you know you were gay/lesbian/bi-sexual ?
I personally knew when I was about 5 1/2, sounds cliche I know but it's true.

Have always known, and never denied it. Went through a very short period when i thought i liked girls as well, but got over it.

I first began to confront it a few months before my 16th birthday, when I realized that the feelings I was having toward my best friend were more than friendly . . . 
Of course, I didn't actually stop denying it and just accept it until about 6 months later. A couple months after that I started to come out to people I trusted, and here I am.
It's been two years this month, I guess. Huh. Cool.

I've always had markedly different feelings towards the same sex. Didn't come to identify myself as gay until about 13-14.

I think I've always known that I was different. But it wasn't until about the age of 11 or 12 that it really took form and I was able to definitively call it being gay. So technically I've always known, but also never knew until a little before puberty.
Or something... x_X
I never once denied it though.
Memories are nice, but that's all they are.

I knew when I just had my first actual feelings for a girl at 13. Then when I kissed a girl for the first time, I knew I was gay. There was no turning back after that kiss 
I had a hunch though with past boyfriends. It didn't feel natural to me at all

I have always known, plain and simple. It was always there... that underlying longing for male companionship. I never once denied it.
Here’s what I know about the realm of possibility—it is always expanding, it is never what you think it is. Everything around us was once deemed impossible. From the airplane overhead to the phones in our pockets to the choir girl putting her arm around the metalhead. As hard as it is for us to see sometimes, we all exist within the realm of possibility. Most of the limits are of our own world’s devising. And yet, every day we each do so many things that were once impossible to us.

Wow. I've only known for a little bit compared to you guys...xP Well, let's see...it's hard to pinpoint the exact time, you know? Probably I started suspecting it sometime in January. Then I decided I must be bi and in February I made a special Gaia mule account so I could get used to that and talk to people without my real life friends knowing. Then I realized that I'm not bi, I'm lesbian, because the only guy I love more than a friend is Michael, and even him I couldn't love as much as a girl. xD So once I realized that, I joined here at qa, which was March 25. The day I did one of the best things in my life. ^_-

My timeline is very similar to Kim's. I realised I was not straight in January and I joined QA. I thought was either a-sexual or a lesbian. I realised that I had been attracted to girls staring in about the fall and until recently I thought that I was just a late bloomer but now I think that maybe I have been attracted to girls longer than that I just didn't realise it at all. Yeah, so around February I think it was I realised I was a lesbian, not a-sexual. Or bi, technically, a 5 (0-6 0 being straight and 6 being gay).
So, I guess about 3 months. I'm a baby dyke.

Well deep down I've known since I was in like 2nd grade cause that is when I was crushing on girls and I knew even more as I got older but I was in denial about it for long time but then eventually I came out to myself thankfully

haha, yeah, same here AQ. Baby dykes...xD Yeah, I guess I've been attracted to girls longer than that, but didn't really notice or maybe just thought it was because I wished I could look good like that. But now I know it's because it's the way I am. And every day I'm understanding it more and more, and it gets easier and easier to admit. Hehe, at this pace I'll be a grown up dyke in no time! xD

Yep, same here. I understand more and more about it all the time. But, eventually we'll be all grown up and dykalicious.
I need to thank Fergie for making want to add "icious" to the end of everything.

I guess I was about 13 or 14 when I realised I was liked guys. I thought I could change it for a while and then decided to just ignore it but that didn't work. It has only been the last couple of years I have become comfortable with it.

Heh. It's a long story HOW...But when..? When I was 12. -nodnod-
Though...I had 'feelings' when I was a bit younger [Like 4th grade, I believe]...but ignored it, thinking I just really wanted to be the girl's friend and that I just thought she was pretty.
I suppose it sort of makes sense now, though. :]

I've always known slightly. I mean, I would look at other girls than the boys. I would see a boy, think he's cute, and then want nothing to do with him. But then I would see a girl not two seconds later, and think shes cute, and then want to date her. But I pushed the feelings to the back of my head. (I raised by bible-thumping, baptist, southern, white people. its like being raised by wolves). So I would force myself to date the guys and pretend enough to like the relationship I was in. There's only been two guy relationships that I liked. One was with this flamer that was just like dating a girl. So that really didn't count. The other was Tyler, and he was great. He's my best friend now.
Anyways, I'm straying from the subject... I always knew. But one of the biggest clues was one time when my friend (girl) and I were standing outside and we heard these two girls talking about how it was gross to touch another girls breasts. I said "whats the big deal?" and I touched my friend's breast. Right there. In the open. Cupped it, too. The two girls just stood there in complete awe, and so did my friend.
I lost a good friend because of that. And because I was young, I didn't know why. But I do now. But yeah, I always knew somewhat. But like that big clue up there, there was a lot more like it (a lil inappropriate to mention) that set me on my way to self discovery...
You're not honest.
You never could be.
