Other words, Gay awakening stories!

Non- binary bisexual here. The legend of Zelda helped me figure out I was bi, and one day I was laying in bed, and I was like, f*ck this gender sh*t. And then came out to my parents, started by telling them I was bi, then a couple weeks later as non-binary. Be true to yourself 🏳️‍🌈

    So everyone knows what it's like to have a sub in middle school right??? You meas around and don't do the work? Well I had one in my band class and went into the closet and was trying to scare people but ended up contemplating my life and all that and I realized holy s**t I'm not straight but idk what I am. So yeah. That all happened IN the closet. When I came out, some kid was like "are you gay? Cause you just came out of the closet hahahahahahaha"

    I was at a summer all-girls camp, actually, and I was playing mafia with my cabin. I was just sitting there thinking about one our counselors, who was like a year older than me. and I couldn't stop thinking about her and wanting to look and be my best around her and wanting her to like me, and I just thought "HOLY C**P, I have a CRUSH on her!!" Thankfully my friends were super supportive and teased me just like they would about anyone I liked. They're freaking amazing.

    To be honest, I was watching a movie with both straight and gay relationships, and I thought that I honestly didn‘t care which kind of relationship I was in. I looked it up and I‘m pan now!

    Not necessarily gay, but same idea. So I'm asexual and I've known for like a year now. I remember realizing when I was sitting in orchestra class. It was a day off because my tea her was absent and all is girls just sat in a circle and talked, and at one point the conversation turned to sex. A couple of them talking about losing their virginity and how enjoyable it was and I started thinking about how everyone seemed to be talking about it around school and I just was never interested. I realized that me being uninterested wasn't exactly normal so I thought about it and later that night when I was at home I researched asexuality and realized I fell under that spectrum.

    I kept having thoughts about cute boys that I like, for context I’m a trans boy named Charlie, and every time I see a really cute boy walking by, my heart bursts out of my chest, and I swoon way too hard, and when I play with my friend Alfie, I get lost in his words, and I realize that he was meant for me and I was meant for him, all of my dreams are about him and I just walking on a beach and holding hands and kissing him.

    Honestly I don't know.

    I remember realizing that it's unusual in the sense that I needed to tell my folks the first time my partner wasn't a guy.

    But I've always had crushes on TV personalities and random people, so I didn't have an awakening moment.

    It's just normal for me. It's all I've ever known! I still feel surprised that other people... Like, care about the genitals of potential partners? Or it just doesn't happen for them unless certain genitals are present? IDK, still sounds strange to me.
