As soon as my sister was born when I was 18 months old, I knew I was different. But then, I remember my birth, and things that happened when i was only 6 months old.

I was five and had a huge crush on the boy across the street who was probably 12. I thought he was very cute and I always stared when he rode his bike by my house. My mom was pregnant that year with my youngest brother, and when she asked my ideas for names I gave the name of my crush. So that was how my brother got his name.

As a side note, whenever I hear about people who insist being gay is a choice, I remember that first crush and how it wasn't something I decided and thought about. It was just who I was. I'm straight but don't think it's different for people who are gay. It was never a choice.

I came out as bi when I was 19, and when I did, I actually realized that I was attracted to both men and women since I was 10, just subtly.

Maybe 23. I went through a lot of "being gay" or "being transsexual" phases before I reached my final verdict. I dressed as a woman all the time in public when I was in my early 20s, to my embarrassment now, as I wasn't trying very hard and I don't really identify as a woman anymore.

I noticed girls from around age 5 I think. I always remember having crushes on girls.

I realized I was female when I was about 3. Maybe 4.

I had a serious crush on James Lenihan in kindergarten. He kissed me! I was in love.

I don't remember and I don't think it matters to me. However, the earliest memory I have of liking the opposite sex were when I was in grade 2. In fact, to this day, I still believe this friend, had our relationship continued and she had not moved away, would have been the women I married. I have not since known kinship like this save for my failed stint with my last girlfriend in my early twenties...
