    I began to really question my sexuality when I was 18. I started to understand it and accept it when I was 19.

    I guess I always knew but ignored it, until June last year.

    I've actually known it since I was 16, but only fully accepted myself this year, at 26.

    Came out as bisexual but i'm actually gay.

    I started questioning my sexuality when I was in middle school, but I never really was able to accept it fully and even think about coming out to others until I was about 16.

    Like almost immediately after I found out :lol: I mean, I knew I was trans for sure at 14 years old and I (reluctantly) identified as a straight girl until then. And I never thought about my sexuality after finding out I was trans until one day, I might've just turned 15, it just occurred to me and I literally said, "Oh my God, this means I'm gay!" I panicked for two seconds and then I was fine. It's not a big deal since I'm already trans, I already have to deal with discrimination and having to come out so this doesn't matter. The hardest part is dating, first finding someone who's not straight and secondly, finding someone who'd date a trans person.

    I started questioning it at around 11 years old and accepted it at 13 but didn't come out until 16

    Late last year so 17, but I've known I was gay for ages, just never thought about actually saying, I am gay.

    23. I realized it when I was 12/13, so it took me awhile to accept it.

    My wife is bisexual. She realized it when she was 12 years old, in 1967. She repressed it with the help of her church. She finally remembered when she was 36. Thank God.

    I'm just a straight guy. I had my first girlfriend when I was 3, and been chasing the girls ever since.

    I stated questioning around 15-16, but didn't fully accept my sexuality until I was 21.

    I think growing up in a bad situation made it really hard for me to stop and reflect on myself. I had so many other things racing through my mind it was a jumbled mess. I'm still working on figuring myself out in other ways.
    I have personally accepted my sexuality, but I am still working on coming out.

    15-16ish I finally accepted I was gay and that it was never going to go away.
    Didn't come out for a few years later though.
