What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids? When did you learn about gay and trans people? Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?

When I was younger, it never clicked with me that everyone is not bisexual. As a kid it never occured to me that some girls just couldn't fall for girls. I thought it was the person that counted, not their gender. So I remember playing with my toys and making some of them lesbian. I didn't actually learn what being gay meant until I was like seven or eight though; tv talked about it but never explained it.

>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
I thought that they were gross because that's what everyone else seemed to think.
>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
I knew about gay people really early in my life and trans people a bit later.
>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
Yeah, since I was a kid.

Being told you're disgusting and that there's something wrong with you growing up was really shitty and I still have some issues with accepting myself.

>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
Being 'gay' was absolutely the worst possible insult among the boys in my school. Also what >>6697308 said about the word.
>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
Knew about gay people early on, trans was much later while teen and wasn't clear on it for ages. This was unfortunate because I am trans.
>Did you know you were LGBT prior to puberty?
No, although I did have thoughts of wanting to be a girl. Repressed everything though as didn't want to be seen as 'gay'.
>>
I knew they existed. I was attracted to grils from early on, I knew what gays and lesbians and bisexuals were. I thought trans people were just drag queens and old men who wanted to be girls--I always wondered if girls ever wanted to be old men.

Joke's on me, I'm FtM.
>>
>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
I thought lgb people were normal, I had no problem with them. I had no idea trans people existed.
>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
My Dad has some gay close friends that I had met many times as a kid, so I knew about it since as long as I can remember, but it never really clicked in my head that theres something different about same sex relationships till I was ten. I don't remember when I found out about trans people, I think it was a magazine artical I read when I was 13.
>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
Honestly, I remember being attracted to some attractresses growing up (Like in grades one to four), but once I started puberty I was never attracted to a women ever again, and I became attracted to a lot of guys.
>>
>>6697260
>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
They were constantly censored by the media, so I don't remember seeing anything like that on TV during my early childhood. The only mention of homosexuality that was ever permitted on TV back then was when it was condemned by televangelists.

My family pushed similar beliefs, so I convinced myself that homosexuality was morally wrong up until my later teenage years.

>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
First time I probably had a grip on the existence of these labels was maybe ages 8 - 10. I kind of understood the concept of liking other boys, but didn't know there was a label for it.

Although I had seen crossdressors on TV during my teenage years, I didn't really stop to think about why anyone would be into that. It wasn't until my 20s that I actually sat down and researched this stuff and finally understood transgender versus transvestite versus drag queen, etc.

It seems like transgender rights only recently started entering into public awareness.

>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
I was always exclusively attracted to other boys as far back as I can remember. Earliest I can possibly remember is maybe age 6. I didn't know there was any such label as homosexuality then, but the feelings were definitely there.

Once I understood what it was, I just convinced myself it was a typical phase boys go through, and that I'd grow out of it. I even tried to "pray the gay away." It's kind of funny in retrospect.
>>
I've known about gay people since I was around 5 or 6 in the 90s, I heard a teenager say something way gay, asked my parents and when they didn't tell me, I went on AOL and looked it up myself but got the gist of it, didn't see any porn that I can remember.

First exposure to trannies was when Ace ventura first came out, kinda felt odd about that one to be honest...

I knew I was a degenerate when I sucked my friends cocks in 2nd and 3rd grade every other week and fucking girls made me realize I was jealous of them.
>>
My parents raised me to not like them and to make fun of them, so I did.
>>
>>6697260
>What did you guys think about /lgbt/ people as kids?

I grew up in a fairly religious family, and at church we got told a lot that being gay etc I sinful, so I ended up seeing it as something that's bad. In school I was perceived as the gay kid and got made fun of a lot for it, and I saw it as a bad thing up until I was about, 15 I think?

>When did you learn about gay and trans people?

Gay people I think around, 8 or 9 years old since its when folk used it as an insult. Trans people: well, I guess about 12 when I discovered "shemale porn" was a thing, but I didn't know they were trans, I thought they were hermaphroditic women. I didn't really know was trans was til 16, although before that I knew about crossdressers who I'd call "trannies". Didn't learn about hormones and things til 18 which is when I realized I was a trans girl.

>Did you know you were lgbt before puberty?

No, can't say I did, but I remember wishing I was a girl a lot and liking wearing girl clothes and " feminine" things etc, I repressed those feelings at about 9 years old and tried to be a tough boi to stop myself being made fun of.
>>
I never thought anything bad of lgbt people growing up. I didn't think gender mattered in romance and I didn't think anything much of gender variance.

I don't remember. The news probably?

I had crushes on a few boys and possibly a few boys prior to puberty but they were never sexual. I began identifying as ace somewhere between age eleven and age twelve,, and began considering myself aromantic a few years later. I'm twenty and honestly expected myself to "grow out" of being ace but I never did.
My gender identity on the other hand is a difficult topic to discuss. I am somewhere on the nonbinary spectrum but prior to puberty I identified as a girl. It wasn't until puberty kicked in that I began feeling dysphoria.
>>
I thought being gay was like a cool trait or something. Kind of like being a werewolf or some shit, like you couldn't tell anyone or they would hate you.

I learned about gay people when my best friend told me when I was like 8. I thought it was out of the ordinary but not bad.

I learned about trans people through a friend when I was like 11, and realized I was trans.
>>
>>6697828

That's hilarious. I've never heard of something like that
>>
I didn't even know what LGBT was until I was about 13. I just thought that gay was a generic insult and thought that there was no specific word for liking men - it never occured to me that it wasn't accepted as normal.
I only found out I liked guys a year into puberty, when I developed sexual attraction.
>>
>>6697260
i didn't even know what gay was or that people were gay until i hit puberty and was very very confused and worried
pretty traumatic desu
>>
>>6697260
>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
Through my dad, TV and school I learned that gays and trannies were just weird shit to laugh at, being effeminate was disgusting and I quickly stamped that trait out when people pointed it out in me. If anyone in my school said anything even remotely gay they were ridiculed, and to not join in was social suicide (I regret being such a fucking sheep in school).

>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
I learnt about gay people pretty early on thanks to my dad always pointing them out and calling them poofs and queers. I used to see crossdressers (they were probably hons looking back) when I was out sometimes I thought they were weird and funny. I saw a few decently passing trannies on TV but I just assumed that that was what they looked like naturally somehow so it never twigged that I could do that until I was 17 and found trans stuff online.

>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
Nope, any chance of expressing any kind of feminine side or attraction to guys was repressed into oblivion. Puberty brought much self hate and guilt.


>>6697460
>First exposure to trannies was when Ace ventura first came out, kinda felt odd about that one to be honest...
Oh god, that shit sticks out in my mind as one of the first times I became aware that trans people were disgusting freaks in the eyes of society. My dad was laughing at his ass off at them all throwing up.

I actually had a fascination with gay and various degeneracies when I was a kid. I loved and watched Ranma 1/2 everyday for that reason.

I ended up being a degenerate femboy with hormone tits, thanks ranma
>>
>>6697260
>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
Never had a problem, the fact that some people would like the same gender and not the opposite gender made sense, I come from the most pro-gay place in the UK.

>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
No idea, I think during sex ed. we were told about it, so maybe age 10 but I think someone told me about it before then.

>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
No, I wasn't even straight. I wasn't into girls and I was never a part of that whole thing at all, I never really understood it.
>>
>>6697260
FtM. I realized I was trans at 11. but from the time I was able to speak, until about 5, I was ABSOLUTELY convinced I was a boy and no one could change my mind. I refused to wear shirts unless we were going outside. because my dad didn't wear shirts unless he was going outside.
>>
>>6697260
desu I knew I was trans (ftm) from about age 7, honestly it never occurred to me that it was a bad thing. I heard that you could get surgery to turn you into a boy at about that age and thought it was the best shit ever. Gays and gay sex has always been one of my favourite subjects to think about (both gays and lesbians). I don't even remember a time when I "learnt about gays" I feel like I always knew they existed just like you generally know that people get married and shit like that.
>>
>>6697260
>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
I think I thought they were diseased, similar to my dad's alcoholism (let's not have a debate about whether alcoholism is a disease, it was explained to me as one), but it was mostly pity, because that meant it was hard for them not to go to hell.
>When did you learn about gay and trans people? Considering people began using gay and fag as an insult around 6th grade, then. And I don't think I really understood the concept of homosexual attraction, it was just the effeminate flaming homo stereotype. I essentially knew nothing about lesbians until college. I had no idea trans was a thing until like 10th or 11th grade, when I met a trans girl, and I was able to be polite, but she was extremely quiet, so we didn't hang much. Again, I didn't know much about trans people until college.
>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
hell fuckin naw. I didn't really think about it when I wanted to put on girl clothes, and when I hit puberty, I was immediately attracted to girls. I'm still more attracted to a larger range of girls, and more often, but I didn't even begin to consider that I might be attracted to guys until I got to college and met some different people. All the femboys in my hometown were emo/scene kids, and whle I liked hanging out with them, I never got much into the music or found the fashion tasteful or sexy. I just wanted to wear girl jeans and feel normal. Plus these were the edgiest people around. When any guys flirted with me, I was just as freaked out and in denial as I was with girls, but my desire to put my mouth on a pussy was strong enough to push me through that barrier. I think I repressed a lot of shit really hard back then. Catholic youth group shit, rock n roll church music, you know what I mean.

I knew about LGBT people about as far as I can remeber as I had a lesbian aunt who was still really close with my dad and she and her well, wife now, come around a lot. My parents explained it as you can like girls or boys. It's a lot how my conceptions of race didn't exist as a child because how I saw it my one friend was just a person with darker skin like how my other friend and I had different colored hair. It wasn't until I was learning about Martin Luther King day in elementary school that I even knew there was a word for it.
>>
I went to a Catholic school and "gay" was everyone's go-to insult. Teachers would give out to people if they brought it up in our pathetic excuse for sex ed. My dad made fun of his gay brother whenever he was mentioned. Really it was just repressed as fuck. Then when I was maybe 12 I overheard my sister saying I was the "gayest" of my brothers it kinda clicked.
>>
>>6702834
yikes.
I went to a Catholic school and they at least had the decency to treat gay bashing as unacceptable behavior and the word "fag" as a swearword
>>
>>6702870
I had one or two teachers in ten years openly say stuff to the effect of "being gay is perfectly okay" as well as the counsellor but the higher-ups were super conservative and almost tacitly encouraged it. The principal would invite the most prominent anti-gay campaigners in the country to speak every year. It's my understanding that this is still the case. What's more disturbing is that it's considered one of the best schools in my country even with the absolute cunts at the top running it.

Ok, OP, this is coming from someone who saw your thread on the "popular threads" feature on the front page of the site and has never been to /lgbt/ before.

>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?

Growing up in a Christian household I wasn't exposed to much lgbt stuff as a kid, so I guess I never thought of it in a positive light.

>When did you learn about gay and trans people?

I found out what homosexuals and trans people were from listen to my parents swear. However I LEARNED about the lgbtq spectrum of people from 4chan. I shit you not.

>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?

I'm not, as I said, I just found this thread by getting on to the site, so I'm just giving you an outsider looking in kind of thing. I will say that my parents laxed up heavily in their distaste of gay people. My youngest sister claims to be gay, and even has a girlfriend. I'm not going to disparage her, or try to rebut her claim, mind you, and hell, maybe she is gay.

I remember hearing about gay people for the first time and my reaction being, "So what? People are people, right?" and comparing it to racism. I'm bi now. Straight and gay people confuse me.
>>
>>6697260
I grew up with my uncle and his partner. Who were cool and played videogames. But I was still grossed out by gayness. Even on the internet I'd get told off for being a "bigot". Until I was 19. Now I understand it's fine to be a homo.
>>
As a small child there were these hick kids that would always pretend to be gay around me and it made me feel really uncomfortable to the thought of homosexuality. I'd always been taught about how marriage was sacred and between men and women and all that stuff.

Over the years, I began to notice a little fire inside of me that I couldn't put out. I didn't know why I felt the way I did, but I hated myself for it. It took me years to become comfortable with myself, and when I finally fell for the "out of the closet" meme, I regretted it immensely.
>>
I didn't think being gay was wrong, but I joined in on using gay as an insult when I was a kid. My parents taught me growing up that it would be okay if we were gay.

They did hide that my uncle was gay because they were "afraid of my reaction." Bullshit. I loved my uncle, still do. I still wonder if they were just going to hide it. An uncle on my other side of the family is pretty homophobic, and whenever he said shit at thanksgiving my parents were silent. I'm still not sure what they were thinking: did they secretly approve or were they just being non-confrontational? They're massive hypocrites so it could be either one.

I turned out to be somewhere in between bi and gay, but I didn't realize it until I went to college. I'm 21 and never been in a relationship, so they probably know. Then again, they're in denial about all sorts of things, why not my sexuality?
>>
>>6697260
For the longest time ever, I thought all trans people are dirty masculine hons in dresses, and that the only way for me to truly become a beautiful girl was to wait until brain transplants get invented. Fast forward to age 19, I realized I'm actually really feminine and passable for a guy and started ordering hormones online.
Never really had an opinion on gays either way.
>>
I always wanted to date girls as a kid, I just knew I couldn't because it's unethical. When I was 11 or so, I wished I was a guy so I could date girls but that's it. I was called a lesbian by a lot of the guys at school because I was tomboyish but that's it. I didn't know what it meant and when I asked the teachers to tell them to stop messing with me, I couldn't remember the word so they scolded me for wasting their time. I always knew being gay was wrong because of media never showing two women together until I found out about Tatu and I was (first, I was confused what the music video meant, second, I was) extremely envious of them because they were able to kiss each other and I couldn't. I had drawings, as a kid, of girls looking heartbroken because their best friend wanted a boyfriend and another of two girls, naked and embracing. I never thought too much of it until I grew older and realized all of that was wrong and disgusting. I still thing gay men should only be something in fantasy but I don't really care that much since they don't affect me at all.
>>
>>6697260
>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?

I thought lgbt adults were really rich. Idk why but that was my belief.

When did you learn about gay and trans people?

Tv at around 8-10

Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?

Nah

Before I had my first experience I can remember my mother not letting me listen to Queen on the radio during one of our vacation trips. She said because he was gay and had Aids he was going to hell.

As a child I didnt honestly give a shit. Unless it involved Star Wars or going places with my grandfather it didnt fucking matter

I never saw a gay person until I turned 16 and never have seen a trans person IRL in my life until my college orientation

I honestly dont think I'm gay and just got really edgy after a breakup midway through my senior year. Hindsight 20/20 that shit didnt matter and I should have focused more on school.

>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
I was bullied for being a fag from pretty young and I thought most boys were dumb for not being affetionate together

I figured out a bit before puberty but I was a late bloomer. I knew about lgbt by the time I was 10.
>>
>>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
I didn't. The time I was a kid was when there wasn't that much lgbt stuff out there. Had they continued airing Sailor Moon past a certain point though...

>> When did you learn about gay and trans people?
Around 13. That was when that Fake Russian Lesbian Duo started pushing songs overseas.
Trans people...dunno,lol.

>> Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
I didn't know I was ACE until well into my 20's. In about 2 years time, I'm planning on having a wizard-themed birthday party. If anything during puberty, I would have leaned more towards being trans, as I tended to disconnect my physical self from my online self. I spent about 3-4 years pretending to be a girl on Gaia Online (induringlolGaia) and no-one clocked me, only leaving due to the sites focus on filthy lucre and unbalancing the much vaunted Gaia economy. I regularly chose to play female characters if given the choice (still do) and my favorite gaming character was and will always be Samus Aran.

Oddly enough, when I DID learn about lgbt stuff, I had no problem with it. I didn't mind watching Dante's Cove when they aired it here. It did have a certain cheesy charm to it, but I never shied away when they had gay orgies onscreen.

As to trans people, I think Cmdr Badass put it best "Look, way I figg'r it don't matter worth two shits what a person got in their pants if you aren't plannin' on gettin' in there". If someone believes that they were born as the wrong biological sex, then more power to them for attempting to rectify that!
>>
I didn't think about them. I jerked off and played video games and got myself into trouble at school like any other kid does.
>>
>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
I was disgusted by gays and thought that mtf trannies were women with a birth defect, thus appearing slightly masculine and with a penis
>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
About 10 years old
>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
Nope

I was about 10 when this episode aired, and that line articulated exactly how I'd always felt about it. Made for a very confusing episode.

When I really started to understand that everyone else WASN'T just doing it because they were 'supposed to', the only reference I had of gay people were cartoonish fairies and bulldykes. I thought that was the only way to be gay and I didn't want anything to do with it. Kind of saw it like the fox and cat from Pinnochio, being all bad influencey and trying to lead me astray.
That stuck with me as a teenager, doubled down when I realised my peers were of the same mind and would put me in that group if they realised I was gay. So I turned that resentment onto the ultrafags who 'made me ashamed to be gay'. I saw it as a club I was being forced to join against my will, selfish people making me look bad by behaving stupidly.
But I'm well past all that now. We're all just people and we come in all kinds. Other ways of being aren't a threat to me, and I don't have to adopt outrageous behaviour myself in order to accept its existence and appreciate its place in the world. I behave in my own way because that's what feels natural, and that's exactly what everyone else is doing. And if I'm going to shit on someone for having the balls to be themselves in a world full of judgemental dickheads like me, just because I'm jelly and too scared of the judgemental dickheads to be my own much more socially acceptable self, then I can go fuck myself.

Never really had specific thoughts on trans people. No one really seemed to know what that was when I was growing up. Just seemed like a loophole out of being gay, or a sign of a guy being such an ultra femmy fag that he fully crossed over into being a woman. But I am immensely better educated now.

for gay people, pretty young like about 6-7 years old. for trans when, i was in 4th grade so i was like 9 or 10
>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
yes i had feelings that i wanted to be a girl from a young age, and i knew i was trans for sure when i was 9/10 and learned that trans was a thing. but instead of transitioning i repressed it for another 9 or so years before finally comming out, because i diddnt want to be degenerate scum...now look at me.
>>
I kinda knew about gay people at like preschool age because one of my friends had lesbian parents. It took me a few years to understand any of it, though. All I knew was that my friend had two mothers.

For trans people, fuck, I don't even know. Like 12?

>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
didn't give a shit. I knew a few adults who I thought were gay or later found out were gay but my small hometown was not a safe place to be like that. no one was out and I heard the cops would not take a gay person's side. I assumed bi and ace people existed but never heard about them outside of "bisexuals are sluts" and "something is wrong with people who don't want sex"
>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
age 7 or 8, from the encyclopedia set at the library. I had assumed they existed before then but my parents waffled between denying their existence and saying all non-straights were mentally ill child molesters
>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
since my earliest memories. I knew the difference between the sexes but I did not accept that I was a female. it was clearly a mistake. once I was literate I figured I had a birth defect and everyone would be so surprised when the doctors finally figured it out. then the doctors would do surgery and find my male organs, everything would make sense and they'd believe me, and my family would finally love me and accept me as their son

This reminds me of when I was a kid, I saw some documentary about a woman who appeared female on the outside but turned out to have male internal reproductive organs or something, some kind of intersex birth defect that wasn't discovered until later in life. I didn't know what transgender was when I saw this, but I was immediately like "this must be what I have!"
>>
>>6697260
I didn't think anything of it really.

I never cared about peoples race or sexual orientation. Only the adults seemed to bring that stuff up. I couldn't have cared less.

I didn't start to feel attracted to men until my early 20's though after jerking it to shemale porn, then crossdresser porn, the straight up gay porn then actual gay sex. Until then all throughout my childhood I was pretty straight but it never bothered me what other people were.
>>
>>6702727

Fyi, it's not gay. Plenty of straight men like crossdressing
>>
>>6697260
>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
My parents are very homophobic, but I remember seeing a few gay and lesbian couples holding hands and thought nothing of it, I thought it was just as romantic as if a straight couple were to do it.
>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
I knew it was a thing, but I thought it was a very rare and abnormal thing due to my parents. Probably only really looked into it when I was about 11-12, when I googled why I was attracted to both men and women.
>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
I started puberty pretty early, but it was around puberty when I started noticing girls a bit more than I did boys. Started with a crush on my straight best friend at the time, I would literally dream about her.
>>
>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
I was very vaguely aware of what "gay" meant, but was never really aware that gay people could be in romantic/sexual relationships. I just knew that gay meant "two guys/girls together in a way that isn't friendship". I participated in all those "Straight or curvy?" and "Circle or square?" jokes in elementary without really knowing what they meant. Parents sucked at explaining things and I was raised in Catholic Maryland till family moved to Florida.
>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
Learned about gay people not long after I had The Talk when I was 10. Learned about trans people online when I was 12, didn't really understand them until I was 13/14.
>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
I jerked it to fantasies involving my female friends prior to puberty (bi cis girl) but I didn't understand what sex was yet so it didn't click till right before/after puberty started at 12.

I didn't really think much of lgbt+ peeps when I was a kid because I didn't think it would effect me. Overall I was fine with it.

I learnt about gay people in second grade when some of my classmates were giggling at the definition of "homosexuality" and "gay" in the school dictionary. I figured out about trans people in around sixth grade because I thought that I was lesbian and when looking more into the lgbt community I thought:"what does the T stand for?"

Nah. I hit puberty around sixth grade, and like I said, that's when I thought I was gay. I didn't have a single crush before puberty, and I didn't even know you could possibly question your gender, so I never thought of being lgbt.

>What did you guys think of lgbt people as kids?
I was born in a very religious household, but don't really know when I learned about it exactly, except for knowing that it was "against god" and a sin.
>When did you learn about gay and trans people?
I never knew that being transgender was a thing, I was just kind of depressed until I watched Geena Rocero's ted talk, which got my mind spinning that it was possible to transition one day. Didn't think that much of it at the time, since I was prepubescent and pretty andro, like most kids.
>Did you know you were lgbt prior to puberty?
Nope. My friends growing up were my sister and two other family friends, both sisters. From a young age, I did things generic stuff like baseball and soccer, but also "feminine" stuff like piano, gymnastics and finally figure skating. It was around time time that puberty started to hit me, and the dysphoria began to hit me like a train wreck. I was super depressed up and through my freshman year until it all came together and I realized that I was transgender.

When I was like 7 there was this older woman that watched me every day, she was 17. I told her how pretty she was one day, she usually said thanks and ignored these comments until I told her I wished women could marry, that is when I first learned what a lesbian was. I realized I really was one when I was about 11.

I didn't, and later when I found out, I didn't care.

As a kid I thought it was cool af that men could marry men until my parents started to brainwashed me to think otherwise.

I was watching some comedy movie with my parents that had a gay couple in it and I got real excited that gay people existed. Trans I always kind of knew about for some reason and in preschool actually wanted to be a girl until getting over it in 3rd grade.

I didn't identify as bi until my sophomore year in high school. Looking back it was kind of obvious that I was but didn't know the term for it.
