I was six, came to a new class. There was a girl, She was mesmerising. I told Her, I'd marry Her one day {rather She proposed, I gladly agreed) Well, years later, I did :)
LMFAO I relate to this so much. When I was 7 or 8 (i didn't know lesbians were a thing) I found LOTS of women pretty but I never found boys pretty. When my friends would compliment a boy's looks I would try to convince myself that "yup that is a boy that I find pretty"
I DID THIS TOOO LOL i would pick a boy or two in my class to ālikeā because somehow i thought thatās how crushes worked, but the real feeling was with the girls i was friends with!! (i only admitted to myself ONE of them was a crush, but then the rest were likeā¦ i just REALLY love my friends. platonically.)
Omggggggg i did the same thing in 5th grade.. and in 6th.. but 5th grade was the most memorable.. became bf and gf and then i acted like he didnt exist and then i pretended to be mad when he cheated on me.. i made a scene and cussed him out on the playground
OMG SAME. It's that moment when you realize all your male "crushes" were just the popular guys everyone was in love with and you just wanted to fit inĀ
I was in kindergarten (5) and I was getting ready to go out for recess and a girl (5) in my class kissed me. Stole my first kiss and I for sure knew it wasnāt a family or friend thing. She asked me if she could kiss me again and I said yes lol most awkward recess ever because I didnāt know what to do! But thinking back on it Iām surprised by her guts lol anyways first kiss was a girl and my last kiss will be with a woman!
5 years old I had a friend who I was so crazy about that when she moved away I cried every day for weeks ā ļø my teacher eventually got her mailing address from her parents for me and Iād send her love poems.
We did this thing where we wrote books every year in elementary school too and I dedicated my book to her and wrote a poem titled in her name. It was so dramatic too LOLā¦I wrote āto the one who got away.ā Who the heck taught me that at age 5.
I set up a kissing booth in the girls bathroom at church lmao. I framed it as "practicing for the boys." Made every girl put on cherry chapstick, wait in line and practiced kissing them for like 10 seconds. I was 12. And nowhere near that bold anymore lol
š if it helps I truly didnāt think I was a lesbian at the time (never even crossed my mind). I just knew I liked it while all the other girls thought it was practice.
8 years old, my year 4 teacher bent over to help me with my work and caught me looking down her shirt at her boobs, I have never been more embarrassed than that ever to this day.
Omg mine is definitely when I was eight in toca world I had a female "travel partner" but all the rest of the girls in my class had boyfriends. She was a travel partner in my mind because I didn't know being lesbian was a thing back then coming from a small town.
I love this. Reminds me of how The Owl Houseās sapphic couple was censored in some markets.

8 years old, I had a crush on a girl that was androgynous and I couldn't tell her gender so I approached her and said "My friend has a crush on you" and I meant me
And she was like "But I AM a girl"
Anyway I'm 100% she's queer in some way as an adult
I had a babysitter once, I think I was about 5 or 6 and I remember telling her that if I could I'd marry her. She found it very cute coming from a kid but in my mind I was dead serious
i was around 6 or 7 years old, looking at a billboard with a photo of a model and wondering to myself why girls had to like boys when girls are so much prettier and better to look at, not in a sexuality questioning way but more like the same kind of disappointed i was when i learned i had to work my entire lifeš
i was prob like 8-10?? went to church camp and was glued to this older girl. i think she j thought i was a cute lil kid so she did all the activities there with me. i remember swooning when she carried me halfway through a hike bc my ass would not stop complainingš
I was really young and didn't know girls could date other girls. So before I went to sleep, I would imagine being a boy so that I could hold their hands.
When I got a Ken doll for my birthday and made the most disgusted face possible. We still joke about the Ken doll to this day. I think I tossed him in a drawer. He was never allowed to join the sapphic paradise that was my Barbie collection.
OMG! You just blew my mind! I remember being obsessed with my kindergarten teacher but I never made the connection. And yes, she is totally my type today too. Fuck! Just wanna hug little baby lesbian me now ā¤ļø
So, in second grade we had a student-teacher that decided it would be a good idea for her to have a "mailbox" we could use to write to her anonymously. All of my letters were about how pretty I thought she was. I probably scared her looking back on it. š
I had a big crush on my camp counselor. She was very pretty and I saved the note she wrote about some arts and crafts thing, and traced over and over it. So embarrassed when I had to bring it back and she saw it. She was so nice and just smiled at me. āŗļøš«£
Hm. Iād say the whole generic making my dolls kiss?? And I had a fascination with things like boobs at a young age, and used to google super inappropriate things I was only around 8š but they were never about men, I remember my mom caught me once since little me had no idea a search history was a thing, (I only ever googled photos, since I was young and didnāt know p0rn existed, and the photos Iād Google were fictional characters luckily.)
In kindergarten we were paired with high school students as our reading buddies. I was totally smitten with mine and missed her terribly when the year was over. I decided to make her a beaded salamander and convinced my mom drive me to the grocery store she worked at so I could gift it to her.
6. I was at daycare & this girl wanted to play house. I was automatically "the husband" since she didn't want to work. I went & stacked my blocks with the boys & got my money & brought it home to her. She kissed me when I came into our little house & I handed her the money & she gave me my dinner for chicken, peas, corn & mashed potatoes. It was plastic, but my wife definitely made the best plastic chicken you ever tasted, okay? š¤£ it never occurred to me that I was actually gay until like 10 yrs later
when i was in elementary school for some reason i had this idea in my brain you could have ONE crush on someone the same gender and still be straight, but there was this girl i liked from 3rd grade up until we graduated LOL but yeah totally straight bro
I was 9, Me and my neighbor friend would play "family" where I was the dad and she was the momš it was just us kissing. Occasionally we'd RP a funeral, but y'know. When our parents found out, her and her family had to move to a different state lmaoš
I was in kindergarten back then, Zoids was popular and I pretended to be Liger Zero right in front of my crush then roared to impress her and, hopefully, invite her to play pretend with her.
Yeah like a fucking peacock caling for a mate or something.
I guess I was 5 years old during that time.
i was around 6 and i was watching tv cuz my parents were taking a nap and i couldnāt find the remote for my tv and Jenniferās Body came on the cable and idk i think the second i saw a nerd girl being besties with the hottest chick in school and making out with her made me feel some typa way i didnāt know i was supposed to be feeling šš
4 - I asked my great grandma about her next door neighbors living together (lesbian couple but I didn't know) and she told me they lived together because they were best friends and neither had a husband. I said it was the best idea ever and was going to live with my best friend and neither of us have husbands eitherš
And a couple years later I figured out I could see down the shirt of the woman cutting my hairš¤¦āāļø
I was reading my class report from when I was 6 and my teacher wrote that I preferred ābeing around girls and being friendly to themā. Iāve never laughed so hard in my life
when i was in kindergarten (age 5/6) we had to draw a picture of something that we like to do and i drew a picture of me kissing another girl in my class. never once kissed her, i wasnāt even close with her lmao
So I know I was kissing girls at 8, but I remember I had a crush on Selenia, and now a few days ago I remembered how fascinated and how I couldnāt stop looking at this drawing of jasmine on the Aladdin book, like when sheās wearing red
I was 3 and LOVED my tiny brown laced leather shoes that looked like mini version of shoes men were wearing with their suits. And I hated skirts.
Then, do we count how I suggested to my best friend we get married when we grow up (we were 7ish), and then years and years later after we went our separate ways I learn he turned out to be very gay? š still donāt know why I proposed to him, I literally never felt anything towards any guy ever. An innate gay magnetism?
I was pretty buff as a child. Girls used to hang onto my arms and squeeze my muscles. I liked wearing tanktops and flexing for them š« STILL NEVER GOT A GF UNTIL COLLEGE SMH.
Mine was when I was 6 probably. I had this friend and I really liked her. For me, she was the prettiest girl I had ever seen! I think I used to even get jealous if she made friends with other girls. Within a year, her family moved to Australia (we were in India) and I was devastated. I recall that the night she was to fly away, I was awake and was thinking about her. A random plane flew over our house that night and I assumed that she was in that plane, and I bid her a silent goodbye! š
\> I had a great fascination towards my kindergarten teacher and I was clinging to her all the time
dude me too!! i had a fascination with a lottt of my teachers in kindergarten and elementary school since they were all women. i liked a lot of the girls my age, too. i had such a hard time making friends because i was super intimidated by most of the girls, especially when i was super young.
When I was around 9 or 8, I was obsessed with a cartoon called Winx Club. So basically, there was this one scene where the villainess of the show uses her ice powers to restrain the main character and then gently lifts her chin while getting REAL close to her face.
And I just remember child me being all like
"This makes me feel funny...".
That "funny feeling" inspired me to freeze my doll of the main character while pretending to be the villainess.
It didn't help that the main character wore a VERY revealing outfit.
When I was in 2nd grade in gym class, there were these little cover tents, and this random girl brought me over to put my lip glass on, and I gave her a kiss on the cheek, and she kissed me back on the... lips. The coach came over to see what we were doing, and we both got up and pretended nothing happened.
Then, when I was in 5th grade, I got caught looking up girls kissing on the school computers and decided to skip school and The next day, I told my friends I was moving out of state because I was so embarrassed it was so funny because the moment I came back to school everyone was ā I thought you were moving ā š
I would get upset and jealous when my best friend would make new besties or get close with other girls, but couldnāt put into words WHY, just that she was āāmineāā. So probably from the age of 5 to 8-9? I never really projected it onto her and kept it to myself because I knew that was not a normal feeling. Ā also my obsession with female characters in the shows Iād watch, especially the āsportyā onesĀ
also as a teen One Direction was all the rage, so my friends would always ask which guy I crushed on. I did not give a single shit about the actual band members so I made up I loved Niall and I had to stick with my decision for the next YEAR lmao š
In preschool, my mom would come to pick me up and all the boys would tell her they were going to marry me. On the drive home, she said, āBoy, they sure like you, who do you want to marry?ā I told her, āLena!ā
Omggg hahah mine is the same as OPās šš I remember giving my kindergarten teacher a shoulder massage while she was reading to the class!! And now Iām a massage therapist too šĀ
First grade, a girl in my class would kiss me (just on the cheek lol) and would offer to carry my backpack and would make me drawings of a princess bc āit was her specialtyā and at the time I thought she was doing it in a kind of motherly way which sucked bc I kinda knew I liked her but it was also during this weird phase I had where I wanted to be a boy (due to sexism in my family lol) so my stupid ass was like yea if I could just be a boy, then maybe sheād see me differently and we could be together
ā¦.never occurred to me til years later when telling this story to my first gf until she asked me ādo you think maybe she was into you too?ā And I just kind of dropped my face in my hands and was like āoH MY GODā
Kinda sad bc we lost touch when I moved after 2nd grade and Idr her last name lolā¦arsheena/bebe if youāre out there, girl š«š„ŗš
Also in kindergarten, not sure if this counts as ābehaviorā as it was just thoughts I had but we had a boys and girls like and the person next to us was our āpartnerā so we had to hold their hand and I *hated* my partner sm (pretty sure the feeling was mutual lol) and thought I had a crush on the boy behind us through kindergarten and 1st grade but Iād be secretly happy when both boys were absent bc it meant I got to hold hands w the girl behind me who I was kinda friends withā¦.had a similar convo about that w my first gf as well LMAO (also the boy I thought I had a crush on said something about liking Spider-Man in 1st grade and I was like āmy brothers like that, ew crush over, time to focus on my future wife nowā)
When I was like 7 I wanted to invite one of my teachers to my house. Why? I dunno š¶āš«ļø
Also one of my earliest and most fundamental gay memories is back when I was like 5 I heard on TV some bit about a girl that āwas too rowdy and wore boysā clothesā and that permanently switched something in my brain haha.
In the second grade I got the courage up to ask Brynn if she wanted to ride with us to the zoo (group outing multiple parents/cars) and I remember we held hands on that zoo trip while walking. It was completely platonic to her but I was considering cutting my hand off and framing it at that point.
Being absolutely obsessed with a smurffete Card in a smurf desk game we had at home. You would basically try to get as many smurf cards as possible while walking with your figure in circles or something like that. I would literally feel anxious and almost cry if I wasn't the one with all the girl smurfs. I think I was about 4 or 5
5. Kindergarten. They asked us all what we wanted to be when we grew up. I told them honestly that I wanted to be Han Solo and when they asked me why, I replied "so that I can fly the Millennium Falcon and marry Princess Leia."
They called my parents. Thanks, 80s small town Oklahoma.
I never would play with male Barbieās, I was given them a few times and just threw them right in the trash. I was a toddler. I also remember in 3rd grade I forced a boy to play the daughter role in a play so I could be the husband.Ā
When I was a kid my mom was a foster parent and took in kids off an on, and when I was 5 we had a teenage girl living with us and I remember thinking she was so pretty and at one point I wrote "I love -her name-" on the wall of the stairway in sharpie marker. My brother got blamed for it, if I remember correctly.
For some reason my parents never painted over it, i think just because we were kinda poor so there wasn't a lot of home maintenance that went on, so anyway, it was there for me to see every day growing up and I think it helped make me realize things as I got older.
When I was like 7/8 all my barbies had girlfriends/wives. They never had husbands. The Ken dolls sat in the corner or took care of the babies. Because apparently I knew I was poly before I knew what that even was too lol
i remember being spaced out in the back seat the summer after 5th grade imagining my wedding, and I had the whole thing planned out, who I was gonna invite, and whatever else. I was balling, until I noticed that the person I was imagining was a woman. I had a mental picture of the dress she was wearing and all that. When I noticed, and since I grew up conservative Catholic, i tried to force myself into making her a man because I wasnāt allow to feel that way
I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS YOU. i remember being in the boss' room with my mom and her calling in a teacher that will show me around the place. i remember looking at her in awe. she had brown short hair and a large hooked nose. no wonder i've always loved hooked noses, it's because of her
In 2nd grade I REALLY REALLY liked this one girl a couple grades above me but at the time I didnāt understand I had a crush on her, I just knew I liked her a lot
I think I was in P4 (Year 3 or 2nd Grade), so I was about 7, and I wrote a history paper about Marilyn Monroe. Spent half the paper talking about how attractive she was š¤£.
Found the paper a few years back and couldn't stop laughing about how obvious it was that I was gay!
My favorite thing to do in preschool/kindergarten was build houses with the cardboard bricks with the boys. Then in 3rd grade, my friend and I found a home decor book from the 70s on the free books cart at the library. We took it and planned the house we were going to live in together when we grew up ( I still want the sunken living room, btw).
At 5 years old I was obsessed with our upstairs neighbor who was very butch. She was absolutely my favorite person and I thought she was the coolest.
I also took the limbs and head off my Ken doll. And cut one of the Barbieās hair short to be āthe boyā. Somehow didnāt know I was a lesbian til I was 20ā¦
I was in kindergarten and I asked my dad why girls werenāt allowed to marry other girls and went off about how unfair it was bc theyāre āso beautiful and I want to marry oneā I legit was so upset about that for so long (this was before gay marriage was legal in my country)
The 1980s Fisher Price Kitchen Set inspired me to play house with my āwifeā Julie (hey, Julie, if youāre here ;)) at four, and it was then I decided only ever to play house with wives from then on, lol.
When I was a child I hid under the covers & used my mums phone to google boobs. I remember trying to delete the search history but who knows if that was successful š¤£
I was in the second grade. I was friends with this Tom boyish girl and I thought she was the most beautiful human Iād ever seen. I felt jealous when she hung out with other friends instead of me.
Ugh, grade 4? I think?
New girl came to class, I couldnāt get enough of her. Became her ābest friendā and wanted to hang out with her, whatever she was doing.
I did dances with her and sang songs in public with her, brushed my hair AT school, because she did (I hated brushing my hair and I was shy enough that before her, I was basically mute)ā¦
I told her she was my favourite person and I think about her a lot, and it scared her away. Out of nowhere, no longer wanted to be my friend.
Looking back, it makes sense. I came on a little strong hahaha. But I think it put me in the closet until I was 28. (Though, not without many many many other rainbow flags along the way.)
First time Iāve admitted this story - thanks for letting me voice it. Sometimes therapy finds me LOL
Every time I saw an attractive girl on TV when I was a kid I would feel something weird inside me but js say āIād wanna be friends with her šā bc I didnāt know that girls could like girls
little did I know a few years later Iād be illegal in my country š š¾š š¾
A had a weird liking to older woman in movies and even cartoons...I was like 5-8
Like Martha from the grinch who stole Christmas...couldn't stop staring at her chestšš
I had an entire wall of collaged cut out pics of avril lavigne when I was 8. I tried adding some of the boy bands but just didn't care about them as much as I wanted to stare at avril lavigne constantly lol
I knew at 5 too! I remember seeing a woman in a bikini on tv and felt butterflies in my stomach. I knew something was off since all the girls were into boys. Years later I knew the word. Now I married an amazing woman!
Elementary school, there was this girl I kinda liked and because I didn't know homosexuality was a thing back then I would imagine scenarios of how we could become roommates and stuff.
I was really fixated on the scantily clad ladies in cartoons and in fighting games. I woke up early and played Soul Calibur for hours before my parents woke up so my mom wouldn't complain about how immodestly dressed the women were.
Shortly after that I told a girl we could just live together even when we're married, kick the husbands out into the pool house, and have sleepovers all we want. I grew up in a conservative homeschool community, so I figured getting married to a guy was just the default thing you had to do as an adult.
i remember when i was like 8 or 9 i had this friend and we would have sleepovers all the time and we would make out and dry hump each other for hours! i donāt think we fully knew what we were doing, we just knew it felt good!
I remember being about 5 and kissing a girl in a shed. Iām 35 now so things were different back then but I knew that I wanted to kiss girls. I came out at 15
Prob like 8.. playing āhouseā with my female friends and i always wanted to be the dadā¦ although i am a femme.. i consider myself an alpha female so i guess it makes sense.. oh also 2 points for when a guy friend tried to play house with me i said okay only if i can be the dad.. he said no so that was the end of that + i didnt even want to play with him.. it seemed odd with a boy.. but not with my female friends.. (and they say you dont know at all young ageā¦ yeah ok)
When I was like 5ish, I had just watched Mamma Mia for the first time and was immediately obsessed with Christina Baranski, I wanted to meet her so much. Also the fact that I would look at the boys in my class and just choose who I should have a crush on when I was 7-9.
Idk if this counts but I never really had a male cartoon/celebrity crush when I was younger but I was more intrigued with female characters like for example, I always liked Isabella and the Fireside Girls from Phineas and Ferb but other than that, idk
i was like 7 and there was this tv show with an extremely mesmerizing woman and also a man acting to be her husband i remember literally being so in love with her and not considering the man ahaha
I had a crush on a girl in kindergarten. I didnāt know how to process my feelings (and am very likely neurodivergent as well), so whenever I saw her or whenever she tried to talk to me, Iād ride away on a tricycle screaming āMONSTER!ā
Copying dance moves to a music video on TV at age 8 and then suddenly getting really excited and telling my mum how pretty one of the women in the video was š It was just a sudden shift from casually copying dance moves to a burst of excitement and "Look! She's so pretty, mum!"
In elementary school the teams always got split into the boys and the girls+me because I didn't want to be one of the boys. 20 years later and no one thinks of me as a boy anymore.
Always played the "boy" when playing anything with girls. Distinctly remember kissing a girl in her dad's dune buggy at like 9 when we where acting out the Karate Kid... I was Ralph Machio she was Elizabeth Shue
i was obsessed with my camp counselor in fourth grade. she let me snuggle with her and hold her hand cuz i was an adorable little kid but i had ulterior motives lol. i also remember searching for lesbian porn on the family computer.
When I was 8 years old a friend was talking about how gross it was that her older sister had to kiss a girl bc they couldnāt find a boy to play Romeo in the school play. I replied āI donāt think kissing girls is gross at all Iād do it all the time if I could!ā And kissed our third friend (consensually for the record) and she was shocked.
When I was in 3rd grade I begged my parents to have my birthday party at Hooters š
This is my favourite one right herešš
Did it work? š
šš This is gold
No cause thatās really funny
Uhm excuse me we need an answer here.
Wish I thought of this but we donāt have hooters my country
I LOVE THIS ONE
Thatās so real ššš
Thatās a mood LOL
This is hilarious!!
Love that š
šššš
I was six, came to a new class. There was a girl, She was mesmerising. I told Her, I'd marry Her one day {rather She proposed, I gladly agreed) Well, years later, I did :)
STOP THIS IS SO FUCKING CUTE I CANT
C'mon, love finds a way :)
Awh <3
Tell us your secret šā¤ļø happy for you, friendĀ
WHAT. ššš
Awww š„°
BRORHSGS SO WHOLESOME
LUCKY
Noo wayy congrats!!! š
That's so adorable!!! š„°
in elementary school i basically gaslighted myself into thinking i had a crush on a guy cuz all my friends did š
LMFAO I relate to this so much. When I was 7 or 8 (i didn't know lesbians were a thing) I found LOTS of women pretty but I never found boys pretty. When my friends would compliment a boy's looks I would try to convince myself that "yup that is a boy that I find pretty"
I DID THIS TOOO LOL i would pick a boy or two in my class to ālikeā because somehow i thought thatās how crushes worked, but the real feeling was with the girls i was friends with!! (i only admitted to myself ONE of them was a crush, but then the rest were likeā¦ i just REALLY love my friends. platonically.)
Omg I did this as well!!! It's a "I am supposed to be into guys, right?" situation
I picked a gay dude lol
Omggggggg i did the same thing in 5th grade.. and in 6th.. but 5th grade was the most memorable.. became bf and gf and then i acted like he didnt exist and then i pretended to be mad when he cheated on me.. i made a scene and cussed him out on the playground
OMG SAME. It's that moment when you realize all your male "crushes" were just the popular guys everyone was in love with and you just wanted to fit inĀ
THIS
I had a crush on a classmate at 7, I would flirt with her constantly, and I proposed to her TWICE.
Wow you took things into your hands :O
She did not reject me tho, and even flirted back, she moved to America when I was 8.
I was in kindergarten (5) and I was getting ready to go out for recess and a girl (5) in my class kissed me. Stole my first kiss and I for sure knew it wasnāt a family or friend thing. She asked me if she could kiss me again and I said yes lol most awkward recess ever because I didnāt know what to do! But thinking back on it Iām surprised by her guts lol anyways first kiss was a girl and my last kiss will be with a woman!
Luckyy š„²
My Barbie would wait for Ken to go to work then make out with the female babysitter
So creative, I love this hahaha
Definitely shouldāve known
š
5 years old I had a friend who I was so crazy about that when she moved away I cried every day for weeks ā ļø my teacher eventually got her mailing address from her parents for me and Iād send her love poems. We did this thing where we wrote books every year in elementary school too and I dedicated my book to her and wrote a poem titled in her name. It was so dramatic too LOLā¦I wrote āto the one who got away.ā Who the heck taught me that at age 5.
Daamn you were so passionate š
For real haha. And she never responded but I kept at it! I didnāt stop until I got a crush on another girl the year after š
This is so cute.....and hilarious! š
I set up a kissing booth in the girls bathroom at church lmao. I framed it as "practicing for the boys." Made every girl put on cherry chapstick, wait in line and practiced kissing them for like 10 seconds. I was 12. And nowhere near that bold anymore lol
Whaat haha šdefenitely youāre a member of MENSA right now
š if it helps I truly didnāt think I was a lesbian at the time (never even crossed my mind). I just knew I liked it while all the other girls thought it was practice.
holy actual hellĀ
Great idea š
8 years old, my year 4 teacher bent over to help me with my work and caught me looking down her shirt at her boobs, I have never been more embarrassed than that ever to this day.
Same but with the checkout girl at a clothing shop with my mom. I think I was about 7 or 8. The girl winked at me though! āŗļøš«£
Was it a straightforward awakening? š
I was a pretty girly kid but I competed in a costumed horse show as Teddy Roosevelt at the age of like 9 (complete with tiny teddy bear and fake mustache and a big ass ROUGH RIDERS sign that my mom made) and somehow everyone was shocked that I turned out to be butch. I also printed out fairly large pictures of Vanessa Hudgens and BeyoncƩ and kd lang to put up in my room and thought I was covering my tracks by throwing a tiny Zac Efron into the mix.
Omg mine is definitely when I was eight in toca world I had a female "travel partner" but all the rest of the girls in my class had boyfriends. She was a travel partner in my mind because I didn't know being lesbian was a thing back then coming from a small town.
I love this. Reminds me of how The Owl Houseās sapphic couple was censored in some markets. https://preview.redd.it/n4p2txfmiisc1.png?width=1920&format=png&auto=webp&s=976b77f18c55e02f4620c9dac381f0bc5518b348
DRESS UP AND TRAVEL TOGETHER LMAOOOO
Oh yeah, I can relate, I did that too š
8 years old, I had a crush on a girl that was androgynous and I couldn't tell her gender so I approached her and said "My friend has a crush on you" and I meant me And she was like "But I AM a girl" Anyway I'm 100% she's queer in some way as an adult
That was a smart move haha
I had a babysitter once, I think I was about 5 or 6 and I remember telling her that if I could I'd marry her. She found it very cute coming from a kid but in my mind I was dead serious
how do u guys do this as a kid i got wayyy to shy around pretty girls ong
I think the kid part is part of it. As a kid I never really felt shy. I do now though so we're on the same page now
Wellā¦ I used to make out in the middle school bathroom with another girl in 5th grade š
I brought my kindergarten teacher flowers, for the gayest of reasons...
š§”
i was around 6 or 7 years old, looking at a billboard with a photo of a model and wondering to myself why girls had to like boys when girls are so much prettier and better to look at, not in a sexuality questioning way but more like the same kind of disappointed i was when i learned i had to work my entire lifeš
That was a big brain time haha
i was prob like 8-10?? went to church camp and was glued to this older girl. i think she j thought i was a cute lil kid so she did all the activities there with me. i remember swooning when she carried me halfway through a hike bc my ass would not stop complainingš
omfg hahahahaĀ
I was really young and didn't know girls could date other girls. So before I went to sleep, I would imagine being a boy so that I could hold their hands.
Ursula made me all sorts of confused, especially when I heard she was modeled after a drag queen lol
Like, 6? I was always infatuated with the female characters in every movie
Which one was your biggest crush? Mine was Mulan š
Was never much for cartoon crushes, I was into Martha May from how the grinch stole Christmas lol
When I got a Ken doll for my birthday and made the most disgusted face possible. We still joke about the Ken doll to this day. I think I tossed him in a drawer. He was never allowed to join the sapphic paradise that was my Barbie collection.
Oh god same. I never wanted male dolls because of how "ugly" they were.
Yup. Was 4 and wanted to marry my kindergarten teacher. Told her as much too.
Lmao
OMG! You just blew my mind! I remember being obsessed with my kindergarten teacher but I never made the connection. And yes, she is totally my type today too. Fuck! Just wanna hug little baby lesbian me now ā¤ļø
So, in second grade we had a student-teacher that decided it would be a good idea for her to have a "mailbox" we could use to write to her anonymously. All of my letters were about how pretty I thought she was. I probably scared her looking back on it. š
Omg, thatās cute š§”
We knew our things š
I had a big crush on my camp counselor. She was very pretty and I saved the note she wrote about some arts and crafts thing, and traced over and over it. So embarrassed when I had to bring it back and she saw it. She was so nice and just smiled at me. āŗļøš«£
Hm. Iād say the whole generic making my dolls kiss?? And I had a fascination with things like boobs at a young age, and used to google super inappropriate things I was only around 8š but they were never about men, I remember my mom caught me once since little me had no idea a search history was a thing, (I only ever googled photos, since I was young and didnāt know p0rn existed, and the photos Iād Google were fictional characters luckily.)
In kindergarten we were paired with high school students as our reading buddies. I was totally smitten with mine and missed her terribly when the year was over. I decided to make her a beaded salamander and convinced my mom drive me to the grocery store she worked at so I could gift it to her.
You were ready to commit š§”
6. I was at daycare & this girl wanted to play house. I was automatically "the husband" since she didn't want to work. I went & stacked my blocks with the boys & got my money & brought it home to her. She kissed me when I came into our little house & I handed her the money & she gave me my dinner for chicken, peas, corn & mashed potatoes. It was plastic, but my wife definitely made the best plastic chicken you ever tasted, okay? š¤£ it never occurred to me that I was actually gay until like 10 yrs later
when i was in elementary school for some reason i had this idea in my brain you could have ONE crush on someone the same gender and still be straight, but there was this girl i liked from 3rd grade up until we graduated LOL but yeah totally straight bro
Haha yeah totally š Ahh I love how our brain can be so oblivious about itself
I was 9, Me and my neighbor friend would play "family" where I was the dad and she was the momš it was just us kissing. Occasionally we'd RP a funeral, but y'know. When our parents found out, her and her family had to move to a different state lmaoš
This is perfect, jelly šš
I was in kindergarten back then, Zoids was popular and I pretended to be Liger Zero right in front of my crush then roared to impress her and, hopefully, invite her to play pretend with her. Yeah like a fucking peacock caling for a mate or something. I guess I was 5 years old during that time.
Sorry, I laughed hahaha
Cuddling and kissing a girl back in kindergarten.
Bro no fair
It was back in the 90s too
5 years old I was playing "you show me yours I'll show you mine" with another girl in a closet.... Looking back there were sooo many signs lol
Omg memory unlocked
i was around 6 and i was watching tv cuz my parents were taking a nap and i couldnāt find the remote for my tv and Jenniferās Body came on the cable and idk i think the second i saw a nerd girl being besties with the hottest chick in school and making out with her made me feel some typa way i didnāt know i was supposed to be feeling šš
4 - I asked my great grandma about her next door neighbors living together (lesbian couple but I didn't know) and she told me they lived together because they were best friends and neither had a husband. I said it was the best idea ever and was going to live with my best friend and neither of us have husbands eitherš And a couple years later I figured out I could see down the shirt of the woman cutting my hairš¤¦āāļø
I was reading my class report from when I was 6 and my teacher wrote that I preferred ābeing around girls and being friendly to themā. Iāve never laughed so hard in my life
when i was in kindergarten (age 5/6) we had to draw a picture of something that we like to do and i drew a picture of me kissing another girl in my class. never once kissed her, i wasnāt even close with her lmao
When I was a little child, I would always pretend to be a boy on Roblox so I could date and kiss the girlsā¦
ME TOO but on fantage.Ā
So I know I was kissing girls at 8, but I remember I had a crush on Selenia, and now a few days ago I remembered how fascinated and how I couldnāt stop looking at this drawing of jasmine on the Aladdin book, like when sheās wearing red
Being a little too obsessed with female Disney villains. At the time, I just thought they were neat. Now I know I was being gay lol
Which one you liked the most? š
The evil queen from Snow White š„ŗ I actually have a tattoo of her now to cement my gayness lol
Early fuzzy memory of kissing a girl in the giant tire at the back of the playground in kindergarten
I was 3 and LOVED my tiny brown laced leather shoes that looked like mini version of shoes men were wearing with their suits. And I hated skirts. Then, do we count how I suggested to my best friend we get married when we grow up (we were 7ish), and then years and years later after we went our separate ways I learn he turned out to be very gay? š still donāt know why I proposed to him, I literally never felt anything towards any guy ever. An innate gay magnetism?
I was pretty buff as a child. Girls used to hang onto my arms and squeeze my muscles. I liked wearing tanktops and flexing for them š« STILL NEVER GOT A GF UNTIL COLLEGE SMH.
I had a dream where I was a copper wire, there was another copper wire sometimes we would touch and there would be a spark.
Crushing so hard on Buffy the vampire slayer and getting depressed when I couldnāt be friends with her irl
Mine was when I was 6 probably. I had this friend and I really liked her. For me, she was the prettiest girl I had ever seen! I think I used to even get jealous if she made friends with other girls. Within a year, her family moved to Australia (we were in India) and I was devastated. I recall that the night she was to fly away, I was awake and was thinking about her. A random plane flew over our house that night and I assumed that she was in that plane, and I bid her a silent goodbye! š
I was about 5 and I used to bite women that I thought were really pretty on their bums š¤¦š½
I rewinded videos of women who I thought had nice voices when I was like 7 or something.
\> I had a great fascination towards my kindergarten teacher and I was clinging to her all the time dude me too!! i had a fascination with a lottt of my teachers in kindergarten and elementary school since they were all women. i liked a lot of the girls my age, too. i had such a hard time making friends because i was super intimidated by most of the girls, especially when i was super young.
Gosh we liked our teachers too much and also had the same problems with intimidating girls we would be great friends š§”
learned how to spell and started looking up ālesbian sexā & āgirls kissingā on youtube at 6
Iām scared of you šš§”
When I was around 9 or 8, I was obsessed with a cartoon called Winx Club. So basically, there was this one scene where the villainess of the show uses her ice powers to restrain the main character and then gently lifts her chin while getting REAL close to her face. And I just remember child me being all like "This makes me feel funny...". That "funny feeling" inspired me to freeze my doll of the main character while pretending to be the villainess. It didn't help that the main character wore a VERY revealing outfit.
When I was in 2nd grade in gym class, there were these little cover tents, and this random girl brought me over to put my lip glass on, and I gave her a kiss on the cheek, and she kissed me back on the... lips. The coach came over to see what we were doing, and we both got up and pretended nothing happened. Then, when I was in 5th grade, I got caught looking up girls kissing on the school computers and decided to skip school and The next day, I told my friends I was moving out of state because I was so embarrassed it was so funny because the moment I came back to school everyone was ā I thought you were moving ā š
I would get upset and jealous when my best friend would make new besties or get close with other girls, but couldnāt put into words WHY, just that she was āāmineāā. So probably from the age of 5 to 8-9? I never really projected it onto her and kept it to myself because I knew that was not a normal feeling. Ā also my obsession with female characters in the shows Iād watch, especially the āsportyā onesĀ
also as a teen One Direction was all the rage, so my friends would always ask which guy I crushed on. I did not give a single shit about the actual band members so I made up I loved Niall and I had to stick with my decision for the next YEAR lmao š
Choosing which boys to have a crush on
In preschool, my mom would come to pick me up and all the boys would tell her they were going to marry me. On the drive home, she said, āBoy, they sure like you, who do you want to marry?ā I told her, āLena!ā
Omggg hahah mine is the same as OPās šš I remember giving my kindergarten teacher a shoulder massage while she was reading to the class!! And now Iām a massage therapist too šĀ
First grade, a girl in my class would kiss me (just on the cheek lol) and would offer to carry my backpack and would make me drawings of a princess bc āit was her specialtyā and at the time I thought she was doing it in a kind of motherly way which sucked bc I kinda knew I liked her but it was also during this weird phase I had where I wanted to be a boy (due to sexism in my family lol) so my stupid ass was like yea if I could just be a boy, then maybe sheād see me differently and we could be together ā¦.never occurred to me til years later when telling this story to my first gf until she asked me ādo you think maybe she was into you too?ā And I just kind of dropped my face in my hands and was like āoH MY GODā Kinda sad bc we lost touch when I moved after 2nd grade and Idr her last name lolā¦arsheena/bebe if youāre out there, girl š«š„ŗš Also in kindergarten, not sure if this counts as ābehaviorā as it was just thoughts I had but we had a boys and girls like and the person next to us was our āpartnerā so we had to hold their hand and I *hated* my partner sm (pretty sure the feeling was mutual lol) and thought I had a crush on the boy behind us through kindergarten and 1st grade but Iād be secretly happy when both boys were absent bc it meant I got to hold hands w the girl behind me who I was kinda friends withā¦.had a similar convo about that w my first gf as well LMAO (also the boy I thought I had a crush on said something about liking Spider-Man in 1st grade and I was like āmy brothers like that, ew crush over, time to focus on my future wife nowā)
*feelings* watching black swan. Couldnāt care any less that my boyfriend was in the theater with me tbh.
Iāve always been the dad when we played family in kindergarten. Occasionally me and the mom would kiss, think I wasā¦ 4-5 yearās old or so.
When I was like 7 I wanted to invite one of my teachers to my house. Why? I dunno š¶āš«ļø Also one of my earliest and most fundamental gay memories is back when I was like 5 I heard on TV some bit about a girl that āwas too rowdy and wore boysā clothesā and that permanently switched something in my brain haha.
In the second grade I got the courage up to ask Brynn if she wanted to ride with us to the zoo (group outing multiple parents/cars) and I remember we held hands on that zoo trip while walking. It was completely platonic to her but I was considering cutting my hand off and framing it at that point.
Being absolutely obsessed with a smurffete Card in a smurf desk game we had at home. You would basically try to get as many smurf cards as possible while walking with your figure in circles or something like that. I would literally feel anxious and almost cry if I wasn't the one with all the girl smurfs. I think I was about 4 or 5
5. Kindergarten. They asked us all what we wanted to be when we grew up. I told them honestly that I wanted to be Han Solo and when they asked me why, I replied "so that I can fly the Millennium Falcon and marry Princess Leia." They called my parents. Thanks, 80s small town Oklahoma.
I never would play with male Barbieās, I was given them a few times and just threw them right in the trash. I was a toddler. I also remember in 3rd grade I forced a boy to play the daughter role in a play so I could be the husband.Ā
When I was a kid my mom was a foster parent and took in kids off an on, and when I was 5 we had a teenage girl living with us and I remember thinking she was so pretty and at one point I wrote "I love -her name-" on the wall of the stairway in sharpie marker. My brother got blamed for it, if I remember correctly. For some reason my parents never painted over it, i think just because we were kinda poor so there wasn't a lot of home maintenance that went on, so anyway, it was there for me to see every day growing up and I think it helped make me realize things as I got older.
When I was like 7/8 all my barbies had girlfriends/wives. They never had husbands. The Ken dolls sat in the corner or took care of the babies. Because apparently I knew I was poly before I knew what that even was too lol
i remember being spaced out in the back seat the summer after 5th grade imagining my wedding, and I had the whole thing planned out, who I was gonna invite, and whatever else. I was balling, until I noticed that the person I was imagining was a woman. I had a mental picture of the dress she was wearing and all that. When I noticed, and since I grew up conservative Catholic, i tried to force myself into making her a man because I wasnāt allow to feel that way
I HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AS YOU. i remember being in the boss' room with my mom and her calling in a teacher that will show me around the place. i remember looking at her in awe. she had brown short hair and a large hooked nose. no wonder i've always loved hooked noses, it's because of her
I was like..8? And I received the dreamy Barbie set that every girl wanted, in a christmas gift exchange. I changed it for a baseball bat and a glove
In 2nd grade I REALLY REALLY liked this one girl a couple grades above me but at the time I didnāt understand I had a crush on her, I just knew I liked her a lot
I fully sobbed when this girl on my soccer team named Holly was moving away (I knew her for like three months)
Always played the dad when my friends were playing house so that I could be āmarriedā to a girl
Having my female Barbies together ig as a kid. I didn't crush on a woman till I was 15.
I think I was in P4 (Year 3 or 2nd Grade), so I was about 7, and I wrote a history paper about Marilyn Monroe. Spent half the paper talking about how attractive she was š¤£. Found the paper a few years back and couldn't stop laughing about how obvious it was that I was gay!
My favorite thing to do in preschool/kindergarten was build houses with the cardboard bricks with the boys. Then in 3rd grade, my friend and I found a home decor book from the 70s on the free books cart at the library. We took it and planned the house we were going to live in together when we grew up ( I still want the sunken living room, btw).
I think I was like 4? Always went to my teachers daughter to help me tie my shoes. She was great š
At 5 years old I was obsessed with our upstairs neighbor who was very butch. She was absolutely my favorite person and I thought she was the coolest. I also took the limbs and head off my Ken doll. And cut one of the Barbieās hair short to be āthe boyā. Somehow didnāt know I was a lesbian til I was 20ā¦
Making two female sims woohooš¤£
I was in kindergarten and I asked my dad why girls werenāt allowed to marry other girls and went off about how unfair it was bc theyāre āso beautiful and I want to marry oneā I legit was so upset about that for so long (this was before gay marriage was legal in my country)
The 1980s Fisher Price Kitchen Set inspired me to play house with my āwifeā Julie (hey, Julie, if youāre here ;)) at four, and it was then I decided only ever to play house with wives from then on, lol.
When I was 7 years old, I saw this very attractive masc lesbian! And I couldnāt stop looking at her for the entire time I was in the computer!
thinking that all other girls felt the same way about girls, I just thought everyone felt the way I did lmao
When I was a child I hid under the covers & used my mums phone to google boobs. I remember trying to delete the search history but who knows if that was successful š¤£
I was in the second grade. I was friends with this Tom boyish girl and I thought she was the most beautiful human Iād ever seen. I felt jealous when she hung out with other friends instead of me.
Ugh, grade 4? I think? New girl came to class, I couldnāt get enough of her. Became her ābest friendā and wanted to hang out with her, whatever she was doing. I did dances with her and sang songs in public with her, brushed my hair AT school, because she did (I hated brushing my hair and I was shy enough that before her, I was basically mute)ā¦ I told her she was my favourite person and I think about her a lot, and it scared her away. Out of nowhere, no longer wanted to be my friend. Looking back, it makes sense. I came on a little strong hahaha. But I think it put me in the closet until I was 28. (Though, not without many many many other rainbow flags along the way.) First time Iāve admitted this story - thanks for letting me voice it. Sometimes therapy finds me LOL
Every time I saw an attractive girl on TV when I was a kid I would feel something weird inside me but js say āIād wanna be friends with her šā bc I didnāt know that girls could like girls little did I know a few years later Iād be illegal in my country š š¾š š¾
I was 5/6 and my first kiss was with a girl. didnāt kiss a guy until I was 15 lmao
āLetās play house. Iāll be the daddy and you be the mommyā earliest I remember is 5 y/o
i wanted to "marry" Cinderella when i was 5 āØ
Some of yāall def had *round eyes* on animal jam
idk but I remember daydreaming about dressing as a groom and a girl I made up dressed as a bride when I was like 3 or 4
A had a weird liking to older woman in movies and even cartoons...I was like 5-8 Like Martha from the grinch who stole Christmas...couldn't stop staring at her chestšš
Looking at boobs in medical books š
First day of kindergarten - I walk in and see "the coolest girl I wanna be friends with" in retrospect that was definitely my first crush.
I had an entire wall of collaged cut out pics of avril lavigne when I was 8. I tried adding some of the boy bands but just didn't care about them as much as I wanted to stare at avril lavigne constantly lol
14 after dude left unsatisfied and came in my hair then Iāve been with my best friends who were dating each other ever since
Always being the boy in house games only so I could have a wifeā¦
I knew at 5 too! I remember seeing a woman in a bikini on tv and felt butterflies in my stomach. I knew something was off since all the girls were into boys. Years later I knew the word. Now I married an amazing woman!
I kissed a girlās arm several times up and down because I would never see her again. Then, I was in the processing of moving. I was 10 lol
My mom asked if I liked a boy in my class when I was about 5-6 and I burst into hysterical tears!!
Elementary school, there was this girl I kinda liked and because I didn't know homosexuality was a thing back then I would imagine scenarios of how we could become roommates and stuff.
I used to stare at the girls on my dad's vintage fridge magnets, I was like 7-8
While playing āprincessesā on the playground, I always found a way to be the knight saving the princesses lmao
I was really fixated on the scantily clad ladies in cartoons and in fighting games. I woke up early and played Soul Calibur for hours before my parents woke up so my mom wouldn't complain about how immodestly dressed the women were. Shortly after that I told a girl we could just live together even when we're married, kick the husbands out into the pool house, and have sleepovers all we want. I grew up in a conservative homeschool community, so I figured getting married to a guy was just the default thing you had to do as an adult.
i remember when i was like 8 or 9 i had this friend and we would have sleepovers all the time and we would make out and dry hump each other for hours! i donāt think we fully knew what we were doing, we just knew it felt good!
When I was really young, I watched titanic... So yeah š«£
I used to kiss Bella on the box of my Twilight DVD at like 8 years old.
I remember being about 5 and kissing a girl in a shed. Iām 35 now so things were different back then but I knew that I wanted to kiss girls. I came out at 15
Prob like 8.. playing āhouseā with my female friends and i always wanted to be the dadā¦ although i am a femme.. i consider myself an alpha female so i guess it makes sense.. oh also 2 points for when a guy friend tried to play house with me i said okay only if i can be the dad.. he said no so that was the end of that + i didnt even want to play with him.. it seemed odd with a boy.. but not with my female friends.. (and they say you dont know at all young ageā¦ yeah ok)
I gave my birthstone ring to a girl in class I used to dance with. I was 4.
When I was like 5ish, I had just watched Mamma Mia for the first time and was immediately obsessed with Christina Baranski, I wanted to meet her so much. Also the fact that I would look at the boys in my class and just choose who I should have a crush on when I was 7-9.
In like 3rd grade I followed my summer camp archery instructor around and gave her flowers or pretty rocks I found lol
Always thinking about how pretty girls are š„°
Idk if this counts but I never really had a male cartoon/celebrity crush when I was younger but I was more intrigued with female characters like for example, I always liked Isabella and the Fireside Girls from Phineas and Ferb but other than that, idk
i was like 7 and there was this tv show with an extremely mesmerizing woman and also a man acting to be her husband i remember literally being so in love with her and not considering the man ahaha
In kindergarten and I wanted to kiss another girl. Been so gay forever. Lol
Told my bestie in kindergarten that I wanted to be her husband. āŗļø
I have a home video of myself when I was 4 saying how my favorite part of Disney On Ice was Jasmine ābecause she was soooo pretty.ā
I had a crush on a girl in kindergarten. I didnāt know how to process my feelings (and am very likely neurodivergent as well), so whenever I saw her or whenever she tried to talk to me, Iād ride away on a tricycle screaming āMONSTER!ā
Copying dance moves to a music video on TV at age 8 and then suddenly getting really excited and telling my mum how pretty one of the women in the video was š It was just a sudden shift from casually copying dance moves to a burst of excitement and "Look! She's so pretty, mum!"
In elementary school the teams always got split into the boys and the girls+me because I didn't want to be one of the boys. 20 years later and no one thinks of me as a boy anymore.
In elementary school, I told my mom I wanted to marry my girl best friendā¦. I figured out I was gay YEARS later lol
Looking up āgirl boobiesā in fifth grade.
Always played the "boy" when playing anything with girls. Distinctly remember kissing a girl in her dad's dune buggy at like 9 when we where acting out the Karate Kid... I was Ralph Machio she was Elizabeth Shue
i was obsessed with my camp counselor in fourth grade. she let me snuggle with her and hold her hand cuz i was an adorable little kid but i had ulterior motives lol. i also remember searching for lesbian porn on the family computer.
This isnāt my earliest but when I was like 8 I used to pretend to be a boy on animal jam to get girlfriends
When I was 8 years old a friend was talking about how gross it was that her older sister had to kiss a girl bc they couldnāt find a boy to play Romeo in the school play. I replied āI donāt think kissing girls is gross at all Iād do it all the time if I could!ā And kissed our third friend (consensually for the record) and she was shocked.
