I've always been a lesbian. I just didn't realize it until the end of 6th grade because I was super attracted to one of my best friends. I kept those feelings locked away for two years, I always told myself, "This is the day you tell her how you feel." Well this didn't happen until the end of 8th grade during the summer. Long story short I was painfully shot down, even though deep down inside I knew she was straight. Since then I've been in other relationships and gotten over my first major crush. So yeah, I knew rather early on in my life.

I should have realized it when I was very young, because I always liked the costumes in the movie, "Batman & Robin", especially Robin's. However, I suppressed it heavily and was in total denial until about 8th grade. In short, I knew (or suspected) I was gay when I was twelve, but didn't let myself think about it or believe it until I was fourteen or fifteen. EDIT: I reread my post and noticed that I answered the "when" and not the "how". In 8th grade, I had a crush on a girl. I admired her because she was sort of an outcast; The kind of person that gets picked on a lot. Anyway, I convinced myself I was in love. What was really happening was that I had picked one of my girl friends that wasn't too close, wasn't very attractive (and therefore not sexual), and wasn't social enough to ever ask me out. It's the perfect person on which to place tons of denial. When it came down to it, though, fantasies of her left me unsatisfied; I'm submissive, so to imagine myself in a heterosexual relationship is sort of odd. On top of that, I found shirtless guys more and more attractive. cool

I have to say that I knew I was interested in guys at a very young age.
Personally, when I think back on it I find it a little disgusting but cute.
My first little crush was my older cousin, haha.
When I was around 5 or 6 he would always come to my aunt's (which is
where I stayed when my mother had to work) to hang out with
my older brother. Every time he arrived he would always run
and grab me, give me raspberries on the stomach, and then place
me on his lap. And I loved it. Expected it every time he was over.
One day, he didn't do it.....I sat and observed him, thinking about
whether I should ask him to sit in his lap or not. For some reason
I had this feeling that it would be wrong even though I knew nothing
of sexuality at the time. But I asked anyway. As soon as I did, my brother
yelled "Do don't that, that's gay and he's your cousin!" But my cousin got
up, grabbed me and placed me in his lap. And told my brother that it was
fine, we're all family, haha. That made my little heart soar.
But then I got older and realized that...that was a little weird to have a
crush on a family member, lol. But the little likings I took to guys still
remained. I dreamed about my little crushes, always wanting to be
around them. As I got older, the word gay and it's "Christian" meaning
came into play. And it scared me. So I never told anyone about it. It wasn't
until 4th grade when I had my first girl crush
and first "girlfriend." We dated from 4th grade until 8th, haha.
I'm actually kind of the same as I was when I was younger. I'm bisexual, but
I'm more attracted to guys than to girls. Sadly, I've never had a boyfriend, but
I've had a few girlfriends throughout the years.

In 7th grade I moved to a new school.... I am the weird geek/emo whatever kid so I didn't make too many friends. Well after about 6 months my best female friend and I were watching scary movies together when all of a sudden she kissed me. Right then I knew I liked girls.
Well when our friendship soon ended, I ignored what happened by dating tons of other guys to find that feeling again. I moved schools, and dated a girl after deciding to be openly bi. Everything was perfect and right, until she cheated on me. stare
A few years later I had sex with an off and on boyfriend of several years (he was really REALLY feminine.... and 100% straight....) and right then I knew there was no way I was straight. So 6 months ago I came out to my friends as a lesbian. heart

I actually never knew I would turn out gay.
Well, I guess a better word for it would be to realize.
When I was younger (like... 6-7 years old) I had a very strange quirk. Whenever I saw an overweight man on television I would get turned on o_o;;;, and I didn't even know what sexuality was at that age.
And I had a fetish for overweight men.
I acted feminine from time to time (skipped, pretended I was in fashion shows)
and this one incident I remember was with my cousin who was as old as me, we basically pretended to have sex by rubbing our junk together. I don't know why, but I told my mom I had sex with him (when I actually didn't) and it spurred a panic among my family. But that's when I was really young.
They eventually forgot, and I didn't really think much about my sexuality.
I just liked girls, since there was the biased fact that guys like girls, and girls like guys. Once when I was curious I watched straight pron, and I enjoyed it.
When I got a bit older I started to spank the monkey to straight stuff, but for some reason I only liked it when it had muscular men. I still liked girls, but when I got a liiitle bit older the curiosity got the best of me and I started to watch gay pron. And I REALLY liked it.
The thing was, was that I was still having crushes on girls while 'speaking ze monkey' to guy on guy stuff.
When I was in Grade seven I had crushes on two people. One on this girl named Samantha and the other on my best friend who is a guy and a freshman in highschool. That was basically my first guy crush. As my seventh grade year went on I stopped liking Samantha. Now I only had a crush on my best friend. I came out to him as a bisexual, and this was basically what happened. (since this was my first time telling him, I couldn't bear the idea of him freaking out on me, and I was scared, but I told him anyway)
Me: So Mikey... I have something to tell you...
Mikey: Yeah, what is it?
Me: I uh... uh... um... O_O;;;;;;;;
Mikey: What?
Me: I'm... uh... I'm... uh... O-O;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Mikey: What the hell is it?
I spent two minutes attempting to tell him I was bisexual, when I finnally blurted it out he was all cool with it. But of course he asked me who I liked.
Me: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhm... u///.///u;;;;;
Mikey: Just tell me what his first name is.
Me: (Thinking of him and my second crush) It starts with M....
Mikey: M? WAIT SO YOU LIKE-
Me: HIS LAST NAME STARTS WITH T! O///n//O;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
Mikey: Oh... Michael Tedeschi?
Me: Uh-huh.
RIght, my second crush was on this guy named Michael T., but I didn't want to destroy my relationship with my best friend so I moved on to Michael T. I went crazy.
I had such a HUUUUGE crush on him that I tense up whenever he walks by me. This crush lasted for the rest of the school year that drove me into mood swings and brought out my inner creeper. I always read up on his facebook and formspring wall out of habit. Until he left for Highschool.
At first I was sad, I couldn't tell him I liked him, one night I couldn't sleep because I was thinking about him, but I sang out this song out loud.
And I finally let go and moved on.
And then I liked my best friend again. u.u;;;
Yep.
I'm totally gay now.
To prove it to myself I watched girl x girl then guy x guy.
Guess which one I liked more?

I actually didn't even hear of the word gay or understand the word until 8th grade.
When I was little I went to a Catholic school and mostly followed other people’s options of me.
But back then I had crushes on some of my best friends who happen to be males.
I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t more like them and so I was big tomboy.
Not until puberty that started to notice that my body was different and in the beginning of high school I started to like girls but I never identified as a lesbian but some people just assume.
Then discovered other Trans’ people and to transition my sophomore year.
I hate when people hesitate to talk to me after I out myself or find out.
