In my teens years, if someone would have asked me if I was gay, I would have denied it, but they never did. While I dated girls into my freshman year of college, I think I did it more because it was expected of me and the fact girls let me know they were interested, rather than my trying to hide something. So the denial would have been for others more than myself. It was all very shameful to me back then.

Coming out at 20 and being in love didn't really stop the shame, mostly because of people telling me I couldn't be a Christian any more. They insisted I had to make a choice.
As painful as the whole self-acceptance process was, I wouldn't change any of it. I am stronger for it. Considering the world we live in, I don't think anyone should hate themselves for living in denial. Eventually, most of us come to terms with it.
 
I didn't figure it out until about thirteen. I accidentally stumbled upon some really hot gay porn (that I wish I could still find!) And I REALLY enjoyed it lololol but I told myself for a few months that I could watch that but it doesn't mean I'm gay lololol I admitted it to myself a few months later
 
I don't think I was ever in self-denial. I realised I was different when I was at junior school (7 to 11 years old) and gradually came to realise why and to put a name to it. I came out pretty much as soon as I left home for university where the atmosphere was vastly more liberal.
 
As soon as I was aware I was utterly attracted to men. So, no denial whatsoever.

I knew as a kid I was attracted to guys.

I came out at 14, so did not hide it at all and still do not.

I WISH I had been that brave/smart to do the same thing...

I'm SO proud of the generation behind mine that have the courage to form "gay/straight" clubs and alliances in high school.

I think back to when I was 15 or so and so deeply planted in the closet that I couldn't see the doors and wish that I had had the balls to do the same things.

There's still MUCH progress to be made, ( Lord knows...) but with today's social media's and (slowly) changing attitudes, (at least in some parts of the U.S.) it seems obvious to me that the times are changing.

Thank God ! :gogirl:
 
Self-denial, maybe about 5 minutes. But I was in the closet for a long time, and still am to some people.
 
I come from a very long line of Clergy! Living under a small spotlight had a lot to do with my personal identity. #-o

I probably KNEW I was Gay, since I enjoyed 'playing' with boys, more than girls, since I was maybe 5! However, I continued to keep up with the expectations until my late 20's/early 30's! ](*,)

Don't get me wrong. I was ALWAYS Fascinated with Sex, in spite of actual gender! And, had more than my 'fair' share of 'luck' with the Ladies! Nearly got Married a half dozen times, or so. :badgrin:

However, it took me being at least 500mi. away from 'Home', and from my Family's PUBLIC, before I finally Admitted that Guys were my 'thing'! (!)

"My" Kev, and I, have been together for 29yr. now. And, I think my family likes Him more than they do Me! (group)

Keep smilin'!! :kiss:(*8*)

I knew I was gay in high school but I didn't start telling people until this year. I'm currently 26. I should have stopped trying to hide it a while ago. Everyone that I've told hasn't cared so there was no reason for me to be afraid of coming out.
 
I denied it for years even tho I loved seeing cock in movies I finally realized I'm bi and had sex with my first man last year I only wish I'd done it years ago cause I love cock
 
Zero. I knew I liked other guys at an early age. I simply kept it to myself until college.
 
I knew that I was attracted to other guys since I was maybe 10 but up until mid teens I wouldn't call myself gay and always thought that it's a phase or once I get older I'll like women more, or if I had the "real thing" and not porn, I'd be 100% straight etc..
 
until I was 15 or so. Then I realized that praying wasn't going to change a darn thing.
I'm lucky that I have supportive parents who love me despite the church teachings telling them they shouldn't.
If only more kids had parents and grandparents like mine, the world would be a better place for LGBT citizens.
