When you're sexually attracted to the same sex?
(if THAT'S it...)
Actually, I wouldn't know either. *wipes tears* Too young!

It can be tricky for some people--some people don't finally realize it until much later in life. Repression/denial can be a funny thing. I have known since I was 4, but denial didn't give way until I was 16. I had a crush on my choir camp counselor and despite two crushes on classmates the year before, it wasn't until this crush that I finally got a clue.
I would say that whoever makes your heart burst--and whoever you fantasize about--is indicative of who you are sexually.

ah. see, i'm 13, and it's never crossed my mind and i've never been attracted to females, so i've always assumed and i'm still assuming that i'm not gay.
i guess it's food for thought a little.

Don't be worried until you start stockpiling gay lit.
*winces again* 
If it hasn't really occured to you, then as of yet, you should be straight. If you meet some gorgeous woman, fall in love with her, etc., think about it.

Posted: 3/21/04 at 8:13pmand well, bisexuality can confuse you--especially if that bisexual part is fleeting.

I'll tell you how you know you're gay:
When you steal your sister's Barbie doll and re-make the entire wardrobe.
When you build a tree fort just like all the other boys in the neighborhood, only yours is color coordinated and has a breakfast nook.
When you spend more time getting ready for school than your sister does.
When you buy People magazine when they post their list of eligible bachelors and circle all your choices.
When you are constantly redecorating your room and changing its color scheme.
When you sleep with your GI Joe beside you.
When you pack pate de fois gras in your lunchbox instead of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
When you stay after school for extra help because Mr. Merrell, your new science teacher is a hottie.
When you collect bubblegum cards because you like to look at the players on them and have no idea what the stats are.
When you go to a baseball game and sit behind home plate because you realize Mike Piazza's buns will be staring you in the face when he crouches in position.
When you can sing the entire score from CANDIDE.
When you have no idea what "measure twice and cut once" means.
When you prefer Patti LuPone to Pamela Anderson.
When you think duct tape is really for ducts.
When you have more shoes in your closet than underpants.
....that's how you'll know you're gay!

lol, me too. i TOTALLY agree with this one:
"When you have no idea what "measure twice and cut once" means."
what does that mean?

lol---funny list, but not conclusive.
when I say bisexuality is fleeting, I mean when it is not the usual, but happens sometimes. I am mostly gay, but believe me--Megan Mullaly, Julianne Moore, and a few others could TOTALLY have me! LOL
And, if I could be a lesbian--I would so go after Ellen!! =)

Posted: 3/21/04 at 11:35pmDolly, I'm sure you now can up with several uses for duct tape other than ducts. So versatile.

Posted: 3/22/04 at 12:58pmThe list is cute, but only stereotypical. I think there is a big difference between being gay and realizing you are gay. I've been gay all my life, but I don't think I actually fully realized it and admitted it to myself until I was about 16 or 17. For some, it can be very traumatic when they recognize it. For others, it can be extremely liberating. Either way, you will know. When you dream about having sex with one gender constantly and never about the other, you will know.

does this count for species too?
