To gays and lesbians: When did you know you liked the opposite sex? And how did you know that was how you really felt?

We get asked this question quite a lot on Y Forum, so I hope I am not being too flippant in suggesting that 'I realized I was queer about the same time you realized you were straight.' It's the same process: a gradual realization that you probably never really notice.

When I was 21 I fell in love with another woman, a good friend who came on to me. It surprised me. After that relationship ended, I thought it was possible to fall in love with anyone, male or female. Years passed before I realized I was a lesbian. I was never satisfied with sexual activities with men, only women. I have come to believe that my upbringing (which taught me that being gay was bad) caused me to deny my orientation. A sort of brainwashing occurred during my childhood, and I was well into adulthood before I overcame it.

It is a process ranging from denial to acceptance, but you know as soon as you have that first thought and then encounter.

I knew that I was attracted to the same sex when I fell in love with my then-best friend. That being so undeniable is what allowed me to finally *accept* it.

I can trace my attraction to men back to age 3. I started figuring out I was 'different' around 10. From 13 - 18 I cried and prayed almost every night trying to figure it out. 21 is when I finally accepted myself.
