    I knew who I was by 3 or 4 years old. I hid the same sex part for decades because of the culture around me

    Johnny Gee.... By 8-10 years old I knew that liked watching boys play basketball a whole lot more than I liked watching basketball! But it wasn't until I was about 14-15 before I knew exactly what it was. But then that was in about 1965. ....David

    I knew I liked a girl in my class when we were seven, and had crushes on female celebrities since then. Then I turned 14 and realised I like guys as well. I didn't know the words for this until I was 13, but thought relationships had no place when in high school, so it took me until I was 17 to find the right term.

    I’ve always known I liked boys, going to the beach I’d be watching all the boys, while my mates would be watching the girls. Of course I had to follow script and pretend I was looking at girls. Any way I’ve always loved the male form over the female

    Think I started realizing something around age 10/11. I grew up in a very religious household even though my uncle was gay. I had a huge infatuation for a girl in my class. I can grow very deep emotions for both sexes. It took me a long time to figure out I was bisexual went through that period of am I really either or. An answer wasn't concluded until my early 20's. I am still accepting my sexuality and learning to express it more freely.

    I fantasized about bikini clad women since the age of 4 or 5, and thought every other girls were like me as well - so utterly bisexual. Oh how wrong I was. But I didn't know the terms up until I was thirteen, when a guy called me and my friend "lesbo" as if it was a bad thing to call somebody. Now that I think back, she did have a itty bitty crush on me (we were only 12-13 years old back then)...but that's another story. We are not in touch anymore though.
