For straight people, there’s no “moment” they realize they’re straight — childhood rolls into puberty, and they end up being attracted to the people they always thought they would gravitate towards.
That’s simplifying it of course, but it’s nothing like the we’re-living-in-the-matrix experience many LGBTQ people face when they first realize they aren’t who they thought they were.
Below, guys on Whisper remember the first moment they looked around and thought “I’m not in Kansas anymore”:

HURRAY to finding your truth and living it!!!
BOO to society for thinking it is a choice, unnatural, and not right!!!
The WWE one was the same for me, Randy Orton still gets to me with those massive thighs and tiny shorts…

I knew I was gay ever since I began watching straight porn magazines with my buddies. I would look only at the guys and totally ignore the girls. When I began masturbating and having orgasms, I would always THINK about naked men while doing it. But I denied ibecoming a homosexual to myself and it took me a long time to finally DECIDE it was inevitable to be gay. I was very repressed and only began fucking men in my mid 20’s. I suffered a lot. Now I am totally comfortable being gay. I love my sexuality and I love my boyfriend.

I was gay when I realized I liked dick more than vagina. Soooooo, I’m about 96.5 percent gay and the other percent is waiting for Helen Mirren or Angela Bassett to drop it like it’s hot on me.

I was 3 and in preschool, it was recess time and all the boys and girls paired up to play ‘Mummies and Daddies’ or ‘Doctors and Nurses’. All of the tv programs, stuff on Disney, etc and stories in books that I’d read about male-female pairings flashed through my
mind and I realised that boys were “supposed to” like girls- I knew that I wanted to kiss and hug other boys. I realised I was different to everybody else. I was so distressed that I ran round and round the yard crying my eyes out until I shit my pants.
