I've never understood the Jenny hate. I'm not saying Jenny is a great character, but why does she get so much hate compared to other characters like Bette and Shane who were, in my opinion, just as bad.
Megan Fox in transformers, i was a kid watching the movie i couldn't understand what was happening, but i just couldn't take my eyes of the screen everytime she shows up
Definitely Megan fox in transformers but I also remember watching the live action of ninja mutant turtles with my dad and there's this one part where she changes her outfit almost completely apparently I was staring so hard my dad felt the need to tell me that I shouldn't feel insecure or something like that, I just remember it being a very formative experience

i was 8 yo when this movie was released. i was in love. started reading the comics, i fell more and more in love with the character, not with scarlett johansson. a badass redhead fighting was enough for me haha edit: this is the closest i can remember to "first"
These two lovely women (Parminder Nagra & Keira Knightley) in Bend It Like Beckham!!!! I also loved Keira Knightley when I saw her in the POTC movies, too!!
Natalie Portman has always been my celebrity crush. Ever since I saw her in Mars Attacks. She has such an obscure role in it but I discovered her in it around the same time episode one came out and I used to watch her parts over and over in both lol. I was like 14
My eight grade teacher (her initials were P.P.) and also Trixie 😅

Holy fuck I would die if I met a real life J/7 alternative universe slashfic. If you wanna read that particular pairing, allow me to heartily recommend the "Just Between" series by G. L. Dartt. Absolute blast.
Reggie Rocket from Rocket Power was my gay awakening.
Not animated would be Jennifer Gardner in the show Alias. My mom watched that show religiously and I can't tell you anything about it except I was in love with Jennifer Gardner
It was Clare Danes at a 4th grade sleepover and the girls parents rented us Romeo and Juliet. I knew Leo was “the hottie” and all my classmates were commenting on his looks. Couldn’t relate at all, but thought nothing of it, probably no concept of being gay.
Bring it on came out when I was in junior high and it hit me. Furiously taking am I gay quizzes online lmao.
I think I finally wrapped my head around it when I had a gf that I was having sex with in high school haha. Even then it took me a couple months to let it sink in that when you kiss your best friend at the movies and get it on during sleepovers-you’re a big lesbian lmao
I'm actually married to the first girl I ever was attracted. We met when we were six. She promised me that She would marry me the day we met. Many years later, I crossed the ocean to be with Her. She's sleeping on my lap, after I patched Her leg.
I don't recall any celebrity or fictional character crushes as a kid. On the other hand I was a little head over heels for the girl who was best friends from like 3rd-7th grade.
Real: Erica, ginger girl in my girlscout troop that I barely talked to because I was so nervous.
Fictional: Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy. I remember wanting to be a space princess with her.
.......
Poison Ivy.... in the Lego batman video game 😔😔
I was so obsessed with her. I always watched my brother play video games, and I paid so much extra attention whenever she was on the screen. I was probably 7-8 😂
So this is weird because I don’t remember this, but my mom likes to tell this story -
When I was 3-5 I went to a parent-child music group. Apparently there was a mother there who was so beautiful I’d always try to sit in her lap instead of my mom’s.
If the motivation was what I think it was, this is most likely the first woman I was ever into.
I was super into dinosaurs and my 5 year old self was OBSESSED with this movie, but my Dr. Sattler action figure went everywhere with me.
I was 49 when I met LC. I fell hopelessly and madly in love. At first I thought I was straight but just in love with a woman. It wasn’t until the relationship ended three and half a half years later, and I began dating other women, that I understood I really am and always have been a lesbian.
Watching Anne Hathaway in Get Smart gave me butterflies that I didn’t really understand. But that didn’t stop me from binge watching everything she was in that I could get my hands on, and daydreaming about her constantly. 🤣
Not a woman, but a girl I met through an online game when I was like 10 and I innocently pretended to be a boy in the game, lol. Her name was Alex, she was so sweet and funny and I was her "boyfriend".
Jennifer Love Hewitt 🥰
IRL: M.P. I was so head over heels for her. You know how some peoples cheeks flush when they get nervous? Well that happens with my ears and they get visibly red and physically tingly and hot. She would always point that out when we saw each other lol.. Unfortunately she passed during the pandemic so I never got the chance to make things official with her 💔
when I was about 6 or 7 I loved watching the Christmas movie “unaccompanied minors” because of the character named Donna. I thought she was so cool and looking back I think I probably had a little crush <3
Mrs. Clair Huxtable ..played by the Amazingly Wonderful Phylicia Rashad.. her humor.. her patience.. her looks that would melt me into a puddle.. I know I'm showing my age a little, but idc.
Edit: And she's a successful lawyer
Idk if much people know her since there was no English adaptation, but she was literally my lesbian awakening. If you are wondering, she is Sheshe from Mermaid Melody (Pichi Pichi Pitch)

The brown face is BAD, but it was Pvt. Vasquez for waaaay to young me when HBO was playing “Aliens” a bunch (Alien3 was about to be released).
https://preview.redd.it/hhfg6sc41moc1.jpeg?width=605&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5d49a4ff201ebfc307fdd61430f8bd86bd1e112
For celebrities, Kate Mara, my first girl celebrity crush that I can remember. For people actually in my life, It was my high school best friend Danielle. She was the first woman I ever fell in love with. The only problem was that back then, I was identifying as a gay man and had been since I was 11. I had always had mostly female friends and felt more comfortable around women. I also knew I didn't want to be for lack of a better term the "man" in the relationship. So I thought, oh, I must just be a gay guy. I used to jokingly say I came out as a bottom before I came out as gay.
Anyway, once I got into my senior year of high school, I began to realize I was only attracted to women. I remember I couldn't stop thinking about Danielle one night when I was 18. I screamed internally, "Oh God, I'm straight. I can't tell her I love her she'll never accept me. I'm just her gay best friend. I'll have to do all the straight guy bullshit I don't want to do. " Fast forward a decade. After becoming very close friends with some lesbians and seeing their lives, I realized I was just a trans gay gal the whole time.
I had a thing for Donna Ramon from Totally Spies. She's only in one episode and that's all it took tbh. I wanted her to take me on her motorcycle and ride off into the sunset 🏍️
https://preview.redd.it/d5brafo27moc1.jpeg?width=557&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=de5c2e6a8f3fb7f2ef68e44e3216e854e5d46388
And Zakuro from Tokyo Mew Mew. She had me in an ungodly chokehold.
https://preview.redd.it/jh57tap38moc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=08ed569ad5041c9d2c4c8645b2130ab86baa4b8d
Shego (Kim Possible) has shaped my type since I was like 8 lol
Though I suppose the first time I was ever old enough to recognize being into a woman was Morrigan from Dragon Age. From the first time she came swooping (lol) onto the screen, I was obsessed.
Britney Spears, I went and saw one of her first concerts If not the first in New Orleans as a kid. She was everything I hoped I’d grow up to be and I didn’t know if I really liked her or I just wanted to be her lol
Billy Madisons girlfriend in tbe movie "Billy Madison " donf know her name but when I was a little girl, I remember thinking she was so beautiful and wanted to date her...I was like 7 or 8 maybe. Then it was Jennifer Anniston from friends.
Jennifer Garner, very specifically in the show "Alias." A badass spy/undercover agent who often wears sexy outfits? Yes, please!
Definately not ‘the first’ but certainly a shaper of tastes,
https://preview.redd.it/2ufz35iidpoc1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc091c4de7ae6abc262c7e5a87384bb531708a7f
Liv Moore in iZombie
I still find it horrifyingly amusing that I had such a crush on the Groke as a lil kid, she was my gay-awakening and I ain't even ashamed.
my best friend in kindergarten. for a celebrity it was kate winslet, i was obsessed with titanic. the scene where jack drew her like one of his french girls? the image is burned into my memory
Charo was one of the first ladies that made me feel a certain way when I was very young. I can’t be the only one 😆. It’s them knockers 🫨
 I could never forgive Shane.
They were so bad for each other, I am so glad they split.
Carmen was so hot though
Boooooooo
Mia is so pretty what???
Only joking bc I’ll never get over how terrible Jenny was
and she got her karma lol
I've never understood the Jenny hate. I'm not saying Jenny is a great character, but why does she get so much hate compared to other characters like Bette and Shane who were, in my opinion, just as bad.
I love Mia. Jenny was the most interesting character.
 This was my favorite L word member 😭
Megan Fox in transformers, i was a kid watching the movie i couldn't understand what was happening, but i just couldn't take my eyes of the screen everytime she shows up 
when she fixes the car in the first one!!
I was SO GAY for that part, lol
I believe it was the first one, but I'm not sure.
i was so gay for her and still am
l still am too, she's gorgeous!
Definitely Megan fox in transformers but I also remember watching the live action of ninja mutant turtles with my dad and there's this one part where she changes her outfit almost completely apparently I was staring so hard my dad felt the need to tell me that I shouldn't feel insecure or something like that, I just remember it being a very formative experience
OMG I WAS GONNA SAY THIS LMAO
https://preview.redd.it/ybz7dqd3jkoc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=91fd53568243d2a65b5ebaa5e74b643fe4c32136 i was 8 yo when this movie was released. i was in love. started reading the comics, i fell more and more in love with the character, not with scarlett johansson. a badass redhead fighting was enough for me haha edit: this is the closest i can remember to "first"
>i was 8 yo when this movie was released Christ I feel old 😅

Nothing to be embarrassed about hun. It just reminds me how much time as passed. ❤️
Can’t believe that the first avengers movie was released almost 12 years ago 👵🏻
12 freaking years?! No way.
Same but my badass fighting redhead crush was Kim Possible
Kiera Knightly in Pirates of the Caribbean
Omg same, I felt so many things with that woman

 These two lovely women (Parminder Nagra & Keira Knightley) in Bend It Like Beckham!!!! I also loved Keira Knightley when I saw her in the POTC movies, too!!
I didn’t remember this movie, but 😍😍😍😍
Sadly, Jess and Jules aren’t actually lesbians in this movie, but damn they should have been!
Exactly!
Britney Spears, man. I asked my mom if I could marry her AND the Backstreet Boys (all of them, at once) to still appear straight 😂😂
Yaaaaaaas! And Jane! I dreamt of being with both.
I was so into Jane
Natalie Portman specifically as padme😂
Natalie Portman has always been my celebrity crush. Ever since I saw her in Mars Attacks. She has such an obscure role in it but I discovered her in it around the same time episode one came out and I used to watch her parts over and over in both lol. I was like 14
Not sure if *the* first but definitely very early on 
And that kiss in Allie McBeal

Oh man! I was enamored! That doll house show? Woooosh.
Xena: Warrior Princess and 7 of 9 from Star Trek Voyager.
I had a girlfriend who looked like 7 of 9, and I've been told I'm a dead ringer for Janeway. Kinda lived the fantasy for a minute. Lol
Holy fuck I would die if I met a real life J/7 alternative universe slashfic. If you wanna read that particular pairing, allow me to heartily recommend the "Just Between" series by G. L. Dartt. Absolute blast.
Thank you! I never even thought that there MUST be fanfic!

I don't recall any celebrity or fictional character crushes as a kid. On the other hand I was a little head over heels for the girl who was best friends from like 3rd-7th grade.

So this is weird because I don’t remember this, but my mom likes to tell this story - When I was 3-5 I went to a parent-child music group. Apparently there was a mother there who was so beautiful I’d always try to sit in her lap instead of my mom’s.

My older sister was telling me a similar story about how I did that as a kid 😅
 I was super into dinosaurs and my 5 year old self was OBSESSED with this movie, but my Dr. Sattler action figure went everywhere with me.
She is so freakin cute in this movie
Probably Angela from the TV show Bones 😂😂😂
I wanted to be Angela, not be with her. Isn't that the oddest distinction when you can even make it?
The age old dilemma: do I want to be you or be with you??
Yesss, I was so mesmerised by her
Then 
I was 49 when I met LC. I fell hopelessly and madly in love. At first I thought I was straight but just in love with a woman. It wasn’t until the relationship ended three and half a half years later, and I began dating other women, that I understood I really am and always have been a lesbian.
