Re: Questions for the LGBT communtiy - November 16th 2009, 06:37 PM

1.How would you describe your current sexuality?
Bisexual. (Although I lean more towards guys than girls.)
2.At what age did you first start questioning?

Properly, sixteen. I'd always wondered about it though from eleven or so.
3.What events lead up to the point where you decided you where lesbian/gay/bi/trans?

I'd always been a bit worried when I was hitting puberty that I wanted to kiss girls and found them interesting. When I was fifteen I started drunkenly kissing same-sex friends, though that was literally all it was. However at sixteen I had a dream about being with a girl and then I really started questioning myself... especially when I began to want to kiss girls more and more and actually started to like a particular girl.
4.When was your first relationship with someone the same sex?

Emmm...not yet really. I had a sort of thing last year but for various reasons we couldn't develop it into a relationship. I've been with my boyfriend for a long time so in a way I haven't really had the chance.
5.How did you finally conclude/know that you where lesbian/gay/bi/trans?

It got to the stage where I realised I wasn't really wondering anymore ~ I was pretty sure.
5.When did "come out"

A year and a half ago, when I was seventeen.
6.How did your friends and family act when they heard? Did people treat you different?

Friends: totally normal. I think they'd been suspectting for a while, and they knew I'd been tryin to figure it out. Family were a bit more difficult; took me a much longer time to come out to them and i think they're still convinced it's a 'phase'.
7.Any tips for those who are still questioning?

Don't worry about finding a label for yourself, and don't be afraid to experiement as much as you can. Eventually you'll just know. Don't force yourself into a box of 'gay' or 'straight'.
