I think ...I knew I was gay right around 12 or 13... I think as soon as I discovered the web (via excite.com) and porn, I knew. Of course, it took me another 13 years to come out to my family and friends. <br /><br />I watched that episode of Glee, and fell in love with the show just that much more. I played football for a semester (defensive end) back in high school... I genuinely wish I had come out in high school -- I went to an all guy's school which was a "kill or be killed" social atmosphere anyway... I wonder what being on the football team would've been like as an out guy?Gauss Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13781308532984102753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846551092190266705.post-84816897497650204912009-09-27T09:45:48.859-04:002009-09-27T09:45:48.859-04:00I'm with you.

Regardless of what was said in the article, coming out at my school would have been social suicide.Benjohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13937236613135731391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846551092190266705.post-7500393370554486262009-09-25T23:07:28.983-04:002009-09-25T23:07:28.983-04:00My first boycrush was the summer I turned 9.

I didn't really understand it then, but I knew something was different about the way I felt about Tiger. <a href="http://notwithoutmerit.blogspot.com/2008/11/tiger-tiger-burning-bright.html" rel="nofollow">I wrote about it at length on my blog</a> last year, if you're interested.<br /><br />The summer I turned 11, I accidentally discovered that playing vigorously with my bits 'n' pieces was most enjoyable. Not long after, it occurred to me that <i>two boys could suck on each other's penises at the same time!</i> I don't think I knew anything about homosexuality at the time, but I sure knew that was something <i>I wanted to do</i>. As I learned more about sex, I wondered what it would be like to have sex with a girl but I don't recall ever fantasizing about it. On the other hand, I pretty much constantly fantasized about playing with boys.<br /><br />This was, however, 1974 and there was no such thing as an openly gay middle schooler or high schooler. Hell, openly gay <i>anything</i> was not acceptable. It blows my mind how much things have changed.<br /><br />Were I in middle school now, I'm not sure if I would have the courage to come out. Then again, seeing as I already pretty much knew in elementary school, maybe I would.Lightning Baltimorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07505090339258010741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2846551092190266705.post-66481963786174359672009-09-25T20:33:32.113-04:002009-09-25T20:33:32.113-04:00I knew I was gay when I was like 6 I think.
