When did you first knkw you were LGBTQIA+

I started questioning around...9/10? I decided to ignore it after my sis told me 'It's just a phrase" but when rumors started floating around 12-13, I really decided I was bi around 13.

 

I was 14 when I realized there was something not so straight about me but I didn't think much about it until the rainbow struck me hard when I was 16.

 

It kind of requires a 2-part answer. I went with 21-30 which is when I *really* realized it, but had I not put on blinders I would have known before 15. I had enough semi-gay experiences by that time, but repressed that part of myself all through the rest of highschool and university.

 

I figured out that I like girls when I was 12 years old.

 

I feel like I've always known, but when I was 14 and started dating, that's when I admitted it out loud that I was for sure attracted to girls.

 

I realised I'm not straight at around 12, took some time to accept it but at 13 I started coming out. Still processing that, but I don't hide it in public. Most of my family doesn't know.

Genderfluidity is a new thing to me, though, realised it this summer to be exact. I have already started coming out because it was more of a "wow, okay, I'm not cis. Cool. Now what?" moment :lol:

It is so relieving to see at least a couple 20+, considering I got hit in the face randomly at ~ 20.

 

When I was about 11 and had dreams of kissing this boy in my class. I was kind of confused and wondered why I was having these dreams, because I hadn't entertained the idea that I might be gay until that point.. given I was only 11 and hadn't experienced any sexual attraction before.

If it wasn't already obvious when I was 11/12, it was super obvious when I was 13/14 and the only thing I could masturbate to was sexual images of other boys in my head or things I found on the internet that were lacking any female involvement.. the first thing I did when I came home was go into my bedroom and, well, you know.

 

Started getting really curious about other boys around 12/13, discovered the Kinsey scale when I was 15 and realized I was somewhere other than a 0, and then the number shifted higher and higher (despite my fighting it) until a couple years ago. Now I describe my sexual orientation as "gay except for Jennifer Lawrence"

 

When I was around 11, I started to question if I was straight. At about age 13 I started learning different terms for the LGBTQA+ community. I'm still not 100% sure of my sexuality, but I know that whatever I turn out to be is ok, so I guess I've already accepted.

 

I started having inklings back when I was around 14 and 15, when I began wondering if I was bisexual; that has led me on the last three years of discovering that and the fact that I am transgender as well.

 

I started questioning when I was 15 xb

 

I remember when I was around 10 years old, I thought that I ''could become gay'' in the future, so I guess the idea was always hidden somewhere in my subconscious. Around 12 years I had my first sexual ideas with men, but I never gave these thoughts much importance. I only started to accept my sexuality and know for sure that I was gay around 16.

 

late 14 early 15 but only really put a label on it this year

 

I remember that I didn't want my parents to find out that I liked to watch music clips in 2004 because the beautiful, semi-naked dancing women made me feel weird. I remember at that time that most of my friends were boys and I often asked myself why I wouldn't crush on any of them.

 

I just sort of always knew I was different when I entered kindergarten and had crushes on girls....I didn't understand it or anything, but I always knew I had crushes on girls, and almost never on boys. I only really began to accept it this year.

 

Mostly, I just went on with my life, not explicitly knowing about LGBTQIA+ ("What is that term?") until a couple of years ago. For my gender, I felt like myself; and for orientation, I was just not interested in sex. I never thought of myself as unusual (besides a few questions from my friend), until I considered joining the Gay Straight Alliance in my school. I'd heard a few giggles about it here and there, so, me being me, I wanted to know what this organization was about. I researched, and researched, until--...and oh, so that's what it was.

And some of those terms felt right to me. Figures.

 

20 when I realized I was ace, 22 when I came out to myself as trans

 

I've known for probably like forever, but it wasn't til just recently that I've finally stopped fighting the status quo so thank god for that. Well, I'm an atheist.........so thank whomever.........btw I'm a little inebriated right now so excuse my slightly drunken ramblings.......
