How was homosexuality introduced to you?
And how did you react?
I don't remember my age (around five or six, most likely), but when I was very young, I was flipping through channels on the television, and I came across some comedy, and I started watching it. One scene contained a marriage between two characters, but the bride removed her veil and it was revealed that she was actually a guy.
I was like, "Oh. Huh. I guess men can marry each other, too. Never thought of that before". I then proceeded to ask my mother to verify whether they could or not, and she told me, "Yes".
I then grew up to discover that, no, it's actually an [i]issue[/i] here in America. There's people out there who [i]really[/i] don't want gay couples to get married, for some weird reason, and in the vast majority of states, it [i]is[/i] indeed illegal.
Hopefully we'll get some interesting anecdotes.

I don't know, it wasn't a pivotal moment in my life.

I saw a picture of two guys kissing when I was 9 and thought 'well that's ok'.

I was a small child watching the news with my family, and there was a story on about two men getting married, which was an entirely new concept to me, so I asked "Men can marry each other?", to which my grandfather responded "Yeah." I then continued to eat the spaghetti I had gleefully ruined with a mountain of parmesan, as I was prone to doing back then.

29 RepliesProbably around 11-12, which was way too late. You see, I started having feelings for other guys when I was around 8-9. The problem was that I knew what a pedophile was for a while before I knew what homosexuality was, so, for a few years, I thought that I was a pedophile. That terrified me beyond belief, and I didn't know then how I would ever deal with it. Years later, when I finally did learn that being gay was a thing, I was relieved beyond belief. I dunno, it probably says something about society, that we teach our kids what a pedophile is before we teach them what a homosexual is. Seems a bit (very) fucked up.

I was actually pretty old. About eight or nine, I think. And at school this girl was trying to tell me that her uncle was gay. I asked her what that meant and her and my friend were trying to explain it to me. I didn't understand it at all. I had an aunt name "Gaye" that worked at the elementary school we went to and I thought she was trying to talk about her.

Most likely kids called each other/things gay like little idiots.

Through my anus In actuality from a catholic priest (not like that you guys), that basically told me about it. So in recap: A Jewish boy is told by a Catholic priest in a Unitarian church about gays... Don't asked me how the hell that works.

Edited by Player3Th0mas: 2/15/2014 12:45:37 AMWell. My parents never really told me about is as it being something special. Once on a camping there were two guys on vacation, I was like 4 then. Me and my sister wanted to play a game with them, but they were afraid that my parents wouldn't allow it because they were gay, so they didn't dare to at first. They asked my parents if they had any problems with them being gay and playing with their children. I was standing next to them and I asked my parents if that was possible, two men having a relationship, and their answer was just "Of course! When two people love each other, they love each other. Why would there be any difference with two men or women?". For me, homosexuality has never been weird or bad. My parents taught me that it's a natural thing.

I'm pretty sure the sister of a family friend introduced the concept to me when she brought her wife over. I don't really remember if that was the first example I ever saw, but it didn't really bother me either way.
