Have you always known you were gay/bi?

[RandomManJay]

The idea for question's sort of come from marriott0.01's thread (I've no doubt its been asked sometime before on the forum).

So yeah. I've read in books and online and such that some people knew from a young age that they were gay/bi or "different" as some of them put it. So I'm wondering if you did.

Personally, I didn't know I was bi until I was around 14/15.

Didn't know I was bi till around the same age when I got attracted to this one guy in an all boys school. Still played it straight for a while though. Until I wanted to explore my sexuality and try things, then came out and it just pretty much stuck. I deffo am bi after trying things :L

I didn't know till I was about 13 when I started to get attracted to this guy. Never dated a guy till just recent tbf and I am now sure that I am bi/gay :P

I sort of knew when I was in primary school, at like year 5/6 but I always kept saying to myself "i dont want to be gay. i dont want to be gay" and then when I about 13/14 I realised you could be bi and it's okay n stuff :)

Not gay or bi myself but I have distant friends that are. A girl I am sort of friends with was discussing it with me and I said that we all get them feelings to try out the other sexuality, especially in our teen years but we should just ignore them. That is when she told me that she has always liked both girls and boys, right from an early age.

Its something you like to explore when you're younger, its not my cup of tea :)

I'm straight :)

no. i didn't come out knowing. infact i didn't know what sexuality was when i was born.

I knew I was bisexual since Year 8. I was really attracted to this guy for I knew for about 3 years.

I didn't know I was actually bisexual until I was about 14. However I was bi-curious for many years. I first started getting thoughts about it when I was about 11 or 12 years old. People seem to think you become bi-sexual/gay just by kissing the same gender, well it's a lot more than that.

looking back, i've always been more 'girly' than most boys.. i used to dance on the benches at primary school lol (i didn't really know what sexuality was them) then i moved to secondary school and i knew i was then. i was very young, i'd say 13

[immense]

i don't think being girly means you're gay.

[Special]

i don't think being girly means you're gay.

bearing in mind this was year 4/5/6.... i know i am actually gay by now

[immense]

yeah but i'm saying that just because you acted girly in those years that doesn't mean you knew your sexuality in those years.

[Special]

i didn't say i knew in those years... if you read my post properly i said i knew when i moved to secondary school

[immense]

ok so you randomly threw in you were more girly. so it's like me replying to a thread about finance that i like rugby? no. you said it as if being girly makes you gay. it doesn't.

[Special]

what are you even going on about? of course being girly doesn't make you gay, i was just saying that i acted more girly in primary school

[immense]

so it wasn't related to the topic at all?

[Special]

if it makes you shut up, no

[immense]

thought as much.

[AgnesIO]

Always makes me laugh at how many people are gay/bi on here. That isn't being rude, but I know of 2 people who have come out, out of like 3000 lol

[immense]

don't forget habbo(x) is a creative place which could be argued attracts gay ppl!!! obviously stereotypical view - but there are more gay people in media than there are in sports - publically at least. then combine that with the fact it's easier to come out online.

[rnix]

Calm down girlies.
Yeah i just thought i might like guys so.

It would be stereotyping to say that all gay people are girly. Although many do seem to be and you can often look at a guy and think "He's definitely gay" due to their girly/camp characteristics.

you've just called me stereotypical yet you've completley agreed with what i've just said...

I had bisexual thoughts at a very young age, year 3. Although I didn't really know what sexuality was so I didn't know it was bisexual, I just saw a boy and thought he was attractive. It wasn't until secondary school when I learnt about it all that I knew what it was so yes while I've known about it deep down from a young age, it still took a long time to define it I suppose.
