Was having this conversation with some new friends earlier and was curious. When did you guys figure out your sexuality/identity or whatever? Was there a person that helped you or a particular moment or event?

I just sort of always knew. I didn't have the vocabulary for it when I was young, but looking back it's always been boys.

Of course growing up in a very religious world that taught me to pray the gay away, did me no favors. So for thirteen years my excuse was "I'm not gay, I'm a Christian!"
