Age you realized you were gay.... - Ellen-DeGeneres.com Forums

Just out of complete curiousity...........at roughly what age did you first realize that you were gay?

Personally, I was about 15 or so, and I had feelings for a female friend, and I was like "Wow, this doesn't feel weird at all...."

Anyone else?

I just recently did. I'm not sure if I'm gay or bi. I guess I don't really like labels. It just depends on the person. I can't help who I fall in love with. I do find myself looking at women more often then men though. So for age it's 22.

How old are u now wildchild?? I just ask cuz i need to know if I can hit on you!! LOL! And by the way, welcome to the sexiest site around!!

I found out about 6 months ago. There was a new girl in class and I got a feeling I never had. It was very confusing, but now that I know I'm gay I feel better than ever. I always knew I was different, but I didn't know why. Now I do. Oh...almost forgot: I'm almost 17 (2 weeks to go).

I'm not sure I remember having conversations with my grandmother at like 5 about reincarnation(sp?) and I always remember thinking I wanted to come back as a guy. I actually told my mom I'd just go to the doctor to become a guy when I was 6 (I don't wanna now). So as far as I know I've always known, I just never really thought of myself as actually being gay until about a year ago.

When I look back now I see that growing up I had crushes on girls all along. The first one I remember was when I was in third grade, and she was the star of the school play and in 6th grade (I got an early start to liking older women I guess :-D ) However at that age, and even in high school I did not realize what those crushes were.
When I was 20 I had a crush on a friend and that was the first time I made the connection of what the crush actually meant. Hit me like a brick wall and scared me half to death!
Then after that I spent 7 years lying to myself about my feelings (and actions!).
Finally......I came out when I was 27. What a long road! I really admire some of you ladies in your teens who are so in touch with yourselves. You seem so much more mature and grounded than I was at your age. Bravo to you!
