I was 7 yrs old and lived in my families house and I always knew I was different. I was having a sleep over many times with my friend Therese' who was in my age range and we were always curious about things in life and she was my 1st lesbian interaction and I felt whole and knew this was the way my life was to be. I felt I was born a lesbian. I never found boys to be cute or handsome and when I was younger I really did think boys had cooties or disease so no one had to worry about me being sexually active with a boy. My mom and real father were totally fine with me being gay although my stepdads and my grand relatives were totall against it encluding my aunt , they were always praying for me or saying its a faze which I proved its not.

I was in 8th grade. A friend and I had been messing around and one day her mom walked into the room and saw us kissing. That was really weird, but her mom ended up driving me home and telling my parents what she had seen. My parents completely flipped their lids asking al kinds of questions and my mom even asked if I needed counseling , which to me I didn't. Over the next few weeks my dad kept telling me that he loved me no matter how I was and my mom kept saying things like I always dreamed of a white wedding dress and a MAN! One friday my dad came to me and said lets go to dinner, at dinner we taked and i found out that he loved me for me and nothing would change that. But he told me I couldnt play both sides of the field. SO a few weeks later I got a boyfriend and tried to hide the feelings. Till one night I couldnt take it anymore and sat on the edge of the tub and screamed at them that I WAS A LESBIAN AND HAPPY. Since that day they have accepted that am a lesbian and absolutely love my girlfriend! :)

I guess I have always known i was gay. Since I was little I used to have dreams that I was getting married to girls. Where my sister was dreaming of marrying 'ROCKY' who was a big hit at the time. I grew up with both my parents and we were always told to be opened and honest with each other. So when I was 12 I told my mum I had feelings for girls. She some how figured and convinced me it was just that I wanted to be like these girls that I was getting mixed feelings from it. So the issue was dismissed. I was always a girlie girl so it was harder for my parents to really grasp the fact that it was true. I had my first kiss to a girl when I was 14 (my sister even witnessed it) and it was dismissed as experiementing. When I was 15 I had my first real girlfriend and we were together for 3 years. During this period my paretns sort of figured that, Hey I must really be gay. Im now 19 and still a lesbian and im glad my parents taught me to open and honest with myself or else life could have been alot harder. Alot of people have problems in admitting they are gay to themselves and deny it for years and dismiss it. I am lucky that now my parents expect me and my lesbianess even though they my not fully understand. Aw, and my friends have always known I was gay.
