Are you now or have you ever been confused about your sexuality? N
If not, please explain why you are or have been so certain about your sexuality:
Well, i knew i was gay at age 7. Of course i had girlfriends until the 8th grade, but that was just a cover-up. I can't really be explain why i'm so certain, but it just feels like the right thing deep down. When i was with a woman, i couldn't get turned on and i was constantly looking at their brother or another guy. Then when i had my first gay experience, it felt like the world finally made sense, and i could breath for the first time.

It's a natural attraction I grew to accept. There's not much of an explanation to it.

Yes.

Well, y'see, I never used to like women. I don't mean in a sexual attraction sort of way -- I just didn't like them. I saw women as these JAP-y, manipulative, insecure, coniving things. Or, at their best, beautiful and pure, but weak, needing to be protected. I've liked guys as long as I can remember. Just liked them. I generally played the guy in games when I was young: the father, the hero, the Son of Darkness who happened to be head over heels for the Daughter of God, who always seemed to be getting into so much trouble (um, I didn't play much "house," okay?). I remember having crushes on guys in kindergarden. My closest friends were generally female, but they weren't the people I really admired. I always prefered male conversation to female conversation, and I could listen to boys talk meaninglessly for hours about...whatever. At least it wasn't about make-up or purses or how stupid men are.
Anyway, when I was in 8th grade, my best friend (a girl) told me that she was in love with me. She did this using a Gundam Wing slash reference -- don't ever do this. And...I was very confused. I mean, I'd always been very open about the concept homosexuality, but...this was my best friend. And she was "in love" with me. Well, I am very, very serious about friendship, and loved her more than life and wanted her to be happy and so got the brilliant, brilliant idea that...maybe, even though I had no real feelings of physical attraction, I could convert my "friendship love" to "romantic love" -- I mean, it was all "love," right?
You'll be shocked when I tell you that it didn't work.
So, I hung my head, decided "I must just be really straight, then," and watched as all my friends (well, I only really had two) came out around me, feeling very, very boring and left-out. Poor little straight girl.
*looks up and realizes she's been ranting forever*
Long story short: 11th grade rolled around, and there was this girl, and she was nice. And smart. And pretty. And pretty. And she gave me these little chocolates in a little red baggy one day out of the blue because she'd noticed I was depressed as hell, and...and I fell head over heels. And I realized that not being physically attracted to one girl didn't mean I was not physically attracted to all girls. I realized that some girls were hot, were beautiful, and that I'd always really known this, but was just too anti-women to see it. And I realized that most of my dislike for the female population was the result of me projecting my anger and disgust concerning my mother. That's not to say I'm not still somewhat sexist, that I'm not more likely to like you if you're male, but...I'm working on it. Huzzah. Rant of DOOM.

Orientation: Gay
Other: Umm... Nothing?

Umm... I've kinda always known, since I was old enough to differentiate. While I've found girls attractive, I've never actually considered sleeping with one. I've been "out" since seventh grade, though I'd told a friend in sixth grade, who blabbed it to everyone else, I only confirmed it in seventh. That was also the year I came out to my mom after the Will & Grace episode where Jack came out. All of my friends have been surprisingly supportive, and those that do make fun of me apologize in private, saying they only do it to look good around their friends. I honestly have a yearbook full of apologies from 8th grade.

It's unfortunate that people feel the need to make fun of others in order to "look good around their friends." sad That's all I have to say right now, I guess.

rejectanonymity It's unfortunate that people feel the need to make fun of others in order to "look good around their friends." sad Very true. It makes you wonder the value of those apologies that need to be made privately, as if it were shameful. But, hey, at least they had the decency to apologize. So few people do these days.

Age: 16
Gender: F
Grade: 11
Orientation: 90% lesbian
Other: I tried to get myself interested in guys for a while. It didn't work, and it turned out to be very confusing and depressing. I only found myself attracted to guys who looked like they had no gender, like Marilyn Manson. Bad times, bad times.
Are you now or have you ever been confused about your sexuality?
Y

I've always been attracted to girls and have never had a crush on a boy, but I didn't realize I was gay for a long time. I've had one boyfriend and kissed two boys (because after I dated the one guy I felt dissappointed and disgusted and hopeless and didn't think I would ever find someone I would fall in love with.)
I realized I was gay in tenth grade, when I was 15, because I had a crush on my friend who is a lesbian. When I kissed her it wasn't just gross and wet, it was warm and special and relaxing and perfect.
