When did you realise you were gay/ bi?

MultiUmm · 2010-04-10 23:31:20

When did you first realise you were attracted to the same sex, or both sexes? How did it make you feel? When did you eventually accept it? I guess I'm asking, what were the various stages you had before coming out? (if you have) I realised it fairly young, must've been about 10 or 11. First reaction was rejecting it, sort…

I knew at 16 that I was bi, but I was in denial until about 2 years ago (20). I think my mam may have guessed when I was about4 cause I liked playing with my cousin's dolls :pac:

At the time, I don't think I realised it in myself, but looking back in hindsight, I definitely recalling looking at guys in the swimming pool when I was only about 9 or so, and I definitely remember having a crush on Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 when "All the Small Things" was in the charts, which was in 2000, so I would have been 12. I thought it was something I could suppress until I was 21 though

Suppose I suspected it when I was 15/16 and two of my friends had already 'come out'...Toke me until 18 to say it to myself, when I first got with a guy!...Kinda hard to deny after that!
