READG MY DIARY OM WHEN I WAS A TEEN MA ME REALIZE I ALWAYS KNEW I WAS GAY

The thor shar how readg through her notebook om when she was an early teen showed her what she always spected: she knew she was gay. * the first time i knew i was gay *

Readg my diary nfirmed that I knew way before then that I was gay. The clud stuffg my bra, buyg a thong, skny dippg, stealg, kissg a boy, havg cybersex, watchg porn, and wrg "bch" on a school the most movg tail was somethg I had no rellectn of — I always knew I was gay.

I am nfint that, had the Deidre who wrote the words been exposed to healthy reprentatns of queer love om an early age, she would have known that beg gay was OK. It’s not until outsi factors like high school social prsure, relig tolerance and systemic homophobia e to play that the young people are led to believe those feelgs aren’t normal.

I talked to a few of my gay iends about their experienc realizg they were attracted to men, if anyone had explaed homosexualy to them growg up and whether or not at any time they were nvced that beg gay was “wrong. I want to say around nth or tenth gra was when I started realizg I was gay. “There was never really a time that I thought beg gay was herently wrong.

I ASKED GUYS WHEN THEY FIRST KNEW THEY WERE GAY

* the first time i knew i was gay *

“I remember someone askg me fifth gra if I was gay and I said ‘y. I pretty much learned what meant to be gay through different social teractns wh kids at school or fay members who ma seem as if were bad or not ‘normal. “When I was younger, people’s attus toward gay people were negative, so that fely hred me om beg myself at tim.

AM I GAY?

I me to learn that my sometim-effemate behavr would lead others to know or thk I was gay. Overhearg the word ‘faggot’ thrown around by my classmat and fay members suggted to me that people didn’t like gay people, so I spent a lot of my childhood the ‘closet.

"THE MOMENT I SAW HIM SE, I KNEW HE WAS JT MY STYLE....": STARS YOU KNEW WERE GAY THE FIRST TIME YOU LAID EY ON THEM

“I kd of knew what beg gay was, but all I knew was that people were bullied for , and that, apparently, the Bible said was wrong.

People at church nvced me that was a choice, and actually ma me very homophobic bee I was so eaked out that another gay guys would thk I was gay and somehow out me, even though I was nvced at the time that I was straight.

“Everythg I learned about beg gay was om my experienc middle school where everyone ma seem terrible and mocked you for . The way that I treated myself and others out of fear of what the Bible ‘apparently’ said was disgtg, and I have seen other gay Christians do to me. Beg asked if I was gay was my biggt fear, so I lied about all the time.

WHO WAS THE FIRST GAY PERSON YOU KNEW?

In gra ne, I allowed myself to like a boy my gra who I was certa was also gay. It seems so outdated to me now, pecially sce I have lived wh the privilege of not havg to worry about people knowg I was gay, and not havg to ncern myself wh people’s heteronormative expectatns. I’m 22 and have schled dner wh a good iend tonight and I’m planng on tellg her I’m gay.

I first knew about Dekker The Sarah Connor Chronicl and I hadn't pegged him as gay someone else vt on some celebry's gayns out of wishful thkg, and then turned out that he was really gay? I clicked on Victor Garber's Wikipedia page to see if he was gay after I watched him on 30 Rock.

I saw him first on Tanic, but I was a kid and of urse had no gaydar then. But when I saw on Wikipedia that he was ed out as gay, surprised me as I only checked the page out of wishful thkg.
