When/How did you find out that you were LGBT -
May 13th 2012, 11:04 PM
Sorry if there was a post on this already, I didn't look and to lazy too. But I am curious how or when did you find out.. I will tell mine,
Okay when I was about 7 I felt like I should be a guy for some reason so I changed how I looked and I guess how I acted but I was already acting like that but anyways like around 9 years I got past at that so I guess it was just a phase. But when I got into grade 3, I really liked this girl and we were friends, but I did know that I was looking at her differently and my attraction to boys was just not there and I was so confused, so I just didn't bother it. Now was I was in grade 5, and I finally knew I was Lesbian or I thought I was. And when it was grade six I started liking girls a lot, and maybe one guy. Now grade eight I am questioning my gender again and I notice that I am bisexual. so yeah thats it I hope this makes sense cuz I have bad grammar

Well... I never really questioned it until I was 19 or so actually... I think it is POSSIBLE I may have been always like that, I just never started questioning it until the last year or 2, and I'm still not sure because I guess I sort of worry maybe I'm just doing it to myself cause I've had such bad experiences with guys, but no, I do think I had a crush on a female friend for a while which I denied and refused to explore it cause that freaked me out. And plus, I feel like I am a late bloomer or something so yeah... It's not like I was just waiting until I no longer lived at home, it's just yeah... But I think there are reasons for it, like who I associated with, and who I was in high school... so...

Well, my best friend came out to me bi then I realised that I had feelings for her too, then one night I stayed at her house and we kissed, so that kind of tipped me off
But I realised I still liked guys so I figured I must be bi.
Then all this stuff happened and I classed myself as straight for a few years.
I class myself as bi again because of my now best friend.

For me, I've always been more drawn to women and stuff, but as a little kid I wouldn't know what that meant. Then in 6th grade I started to really start to wonder about my sexuality and wondered if I was bisexual. Now, in high school, I don't know what my sexuality is, I just know that I am not straight. Right now I would prefer having a girlfriend, and even though I've had crushes on guys I don't think I'd get intimate with them. But, I classify myself as a biromantic lesbian.

I use to consider myself straight, but always tacked on "but if I love a person their gender doesn't matter."... - But instead of going through a bunch of stuff, I'm going to start with like, the turning point... I was hanging out with my friend (my crush) before she moved, and I had these feelings of kissing her that I've had for a while before than too.
And then I figured (or at least I've started to) by kind of meeting other trans people on the internet, and learning more. I had never known about what it meant to be trans, so I could never "consider" myself trans- because how can you label yourself something you don't get?
I've said it once, I've said it twice, I've said it a thousand fucking times
That I'm OK, that I'm fine, that it's all just in my mind
But this has got the best of me, and I can't seem to sleep
It's not 'cause you're not with me, it's cause you never leave

ooo fun story
so I was chatting with my bestest friend, about how I was supa crushed that two guys had told me that they didn't like me. Crappy time. But she told me during this convo that she would go lezbo for me, and I said wow...same for me.
Then...there was a lot of "wait...what?" and so end of the convo..we just kinda said...."are we....bisexual?" and yeah we kept it secret for a while but soon we just kinda told a few people....
so....I'm still bisexual....
she....not as much I guess....

I don't really know how it happened, or when. It just sort of did. And now I'm bi. I love people, that's all I can say.

I am bi. I've always known in my heart that I have been. In about the 7th grade I came out and I was open about it. My parents found these letters a girl wrote to me about her and I. They flipped and told me that I was only confussed and wasn't thinking stright. At they time I was sharing a room with my step sister and my step mom forced my dad to remove her from my room becuase, since I was bi I was a threat to my step sister. I kinda hide my sexuality from my parents after that. But my extended family kinda saw through my blinds and I have this aunt who I am very close with ask me all the time "are you gay?" I always say...no..I am ashamed. I was still openly gay until the 8th grade. I was getting severly bullied at school for it becuase, not many kids were openly bi. So going into high school I went back into the closet. I thought maybe if I tell my self I was just confused than it would be come reality. But I have learned that, that is very wrong. I am attracted to women and men. And I can't help it. I don't know how to tell my parents yet but in time it will root itself out.
