What were the first signs that you were gay?

Posted: 1/6/06 at 10:43pm

After making the "Wannabe by The Spice Girls" thread, I realized I did some pretty gay things as a child.

-when I was about 4, I had a lisp...my babysitters taught me to get rid of it.
-When I was about 5 or 6, I used to walk around with a flicked wrist, thinking I looked like a maid...I walked around like that about 50% of the time.
-I tried to make a dress once out of a trashbag when I was about 6 or 7.

1 - When I was 5 I was into my sister's clothes more than mine. Acid washed skirts and shorts, oy. (I was 5, she was 11)

2- 4 words :

MIGHTY MORPHIN' POWER RANGERS

(20 something men playing teenagers in spandex I MEAN COME ON)

I don't WANT to live in what they call "a certain way." In the first place I'd be no good at it and besides that I don't want to be identified with any one class of people. I want to live every whichway, among all kinds---and know them---and understand them---and love them---THAT's what I want! - Philip Barry (Holiday)

I remember my ecstatic reaction to the first show tunes I heard: I played "The Sound of Music" over & over again even though I was not tall enough to see into the record player. I'd skip over the Captain's songs.

I walked around in my mom's high heels, I sang Spice Girls songs, I put on make-up for fun, I flipped my wrists, I talked like a girl, I had girl friends, I had barbie dolls, I was into theatre, I pretended I was the girls in movies, I tried to kiss my brother about 100 times, I hated sports, I hated getting dirty, I screamed like a girl, and I was afraid of spiders and worms.

If watching Power Rangers, liking the theatre, hating sports, and having all girls as friends is what makes you gay, than I am totally flaming.

When I was 10-ish, there was an episode of the "Dukes of Hazard" in which Bo and Luke went skinny dipping. They left their clothes in the General Lee, which was subsequently stolen. The boys had to run through Hazard County naked.

Now, at 10, I didn't want to have sex with them, but boy did I want to go skinny dipping with them.

First signs was when I fell in love with my first grade gym teacher.

Second was when I was an alter boy.

Third was when I was on my back, feet towards ceiling.

Besides my Spice Girls experience on the other thread...

From age...4-12 I wanted to BE Judy Garland in "The Wizard of Oz." I sang along to all of her songs the billion times I watched the movie when I was younger. I even got ruby slippers for my 9th birthday, and I probably wore them more than once. My parents are idiots if they didn't see it then. And to think they were horribly "surprised" when I told them. My uncle has a fond memory of me running around with the slippers on, a witches hat, a broom, and a cape singing all of Dorothy's songs and apparently screaming "fly monkeys! fly!"

I loved the blue power ranger because he was the cute nerdy one. I used to say it was because blue was my favorite color, but we all know that's bullsh*t.

Other than the ruby slippers, I never had any drag tendencies. The Judy Garland obsession was enough gay to last me a lifetime.

When I was around 8 I stayed over at a friend's house and I was more interested in watching The Bodyguard with his parents and his sister & her friend than playing video games with him.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

I just liked watching my peers in gym class undressing in the lockerroom.

I had sexual dreams about my 4th grade teacher.

Well, I was the target age when Pokemon came out, so I watched it a lot...and boy, was Nurse Joy the cutest thing ever or what? But it goes even farther back than that, when I sort of had a crush on the Pink Ranger.

When I was about 5 or 6, my sister was trying out for the drill team. She had me practicing her baton routine with her all the time. She didn't make the team. But I think if they would've let me try out, I would've made it.

Immediately after birth, I stood up and screamed, "OH MY GOD, I'm never going near one of those again as long as I live!"

And I haven't.

I blame my mother, She took me to see Phantom of the Opera at the age of 5.

when ducks grow thumbs then maybe my opinion will change.

As a child I had to be FORCED to play with trucks, and stop playing with my sisters' dolls...

And I was always told the limp wrist was due to muscle deficiencies I had in my arms as a child...Who'd a thunk it?

I was intrigued by Porter Ricks on FLIPPER.
He sometimes took his shirt off and dived into the water when on a rescue mission.
