I first thought I might be gay when...
I went to a swim meet when I was around 10, and remember enjoying looking at the all the speedo-clad guys WAY too much. My parents wanted to leave after my cousin had finished his race, but I begged to stay. They thought I had finally found a sport I enjoyed.

I still blame my puberty-era poster of a shirtless Billy Idol for my being gay.
Still waiting to give Billy my rebel yell...

Posted: 10/6/08 at 3:45pm...I was in middle school and saw the cover of a Hardy Boys book ("When the Clock Ticked") featuring Frank and Joe bound and gagged and tied to two chairs. Those strapping, handsome young men absolutely helpless...oh, dear.

this book is so funny, and is full of these kinds of stories and anecdotes. It makes a good coffee table book. Pick it up!

Even though I was "active", I "knew" in high school when I followed a football player home, several times, and tried to talk to him.
I scored several touchdowns.

I have to join those who came out due to a poster. Mine was a Culture Club poster with a beautiful picture of Jon Moss (the drummer) I felt hypnotized every time I looked at him.

Sally, you mean like you were "hypothetically" gay?
and UNCAGEG, if your school's football players let you be "active" with them (meaning they were "passive") then i wish i'd have met the team! There is nothing like a receptive tight end.

Posted: 10/6/08 at 6:42pmTx, the one I followed STILL calls me!!! GO TEAM! Problem is I am in Denver and he is in Philly! He is a bit of a stalker though and I tell my family not to let him know when I will be in town!

Posted: 10/6/08 at 6:47pmYes, Jon Moss was one of Boy's many boys. There was a picture of the two kissing in a book at Spencer's gifts in the mall that I used to go stare at every chance I got. I never got the nerve to buy it though.

Posted: 10/6/08 at 6:48pmwell once a pitcher makes that kind of connection with a catcher (sports analogy only, of course!), then it's hard to break the rhythm

Posted: 10/6/08 at 6:51pmWell, I'm not gay (as far as I know), but I realized I'd hit puberty and the beginning of sexuality when I stopped fast-forwarding through all of the Rum Tum Tugger's scenes in "Cats."

Jon Moss was pretty cute. A lot of those eighties guys were.

Posted: 10/7/08 at 1:03pmI'm not gay, but I certainly questioned it after I saw Xanadu!!!

I knew I was gay while watching Ben-Hur and enjoying a young Charlton Heston, clad in a loincloth, chained and whipped on the slave war ship.
Also provided lots of clues to where I was heading in terms of types of "activities" I currently enjoy.
