I’ve had conversations with a few of my gay friends years ago and they all said the exact same thing when I asked them when they knew they were gay. These were guys that you wouldn’t know that they were gay because it wasn’t a lifestyle to them. One had even been married in an attempt to deny his true self. They all said that they knew they were gay at around the same age that I knew I was straight and liked girls. I remember chasing girls in kindergarten so I came out of the gate heterosexual which is what they said about themselves knowing they were different. Once puberty hit their hell seemed to really begin unfortunately. Understanding their perspective and getting a glimpse into how much they wished they weren’t the way they were allowed me to mature beyond my prejudices and sympathize with guys like that. They really didn’t want to be different. They didn’t want to lose lifelong friends. They didn’t want to watch their fathers cry when they “came out” and they didn’t want to live in the shadow of disappointment they felt they cast. I became good friends with a couple of them and I have a deep respect for them and their struggles to “be normal” before finally accepting and loving themselves for who they are.
