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.

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.
