When did you know you were a lesbian? by [deleted] in Lesbians

The first time I had a crush on anybody was a female friend when I was 5. I had crushes on various real and fictional girls when I was young, but I thought girls had to like boys, and that girls can't like other girls. I think I learned what being gay was when I was 12, and I identified with it, but I grew up in a really conservative, traditional, United Methodist family, so being gay was frowned upon. This was also a few months after same-sex marriage was legalized in the US, and I sat through many anti-gay sermons during that time, and I think that really impacted me. I tried to ignore that I'm attracted to women, and I tried to like guys, but I just couldn't. In high school I wondered why there were no hot guys, and I never dated anyone but I was never bothered about being single, yet I still tried to be straight. I finally accepted that I'm a lesbian halfway through my senior year (this past November/December, I was 18), and now I'm cool with it.

I'm using a variation of my username on Reddit. I think I mostly lurked on TL, but I loved the community, and I'll be more active on here. I'm 18 and butch. I love reading, music (both listening and performing, hence the username), writing, nature, and hanging out with my cat.

Me too! TL definitely helped me when I was coming out to myself. The discussions that happened there were some of the best on reddit, so it was my favorite subreddit. Hopefully they make their way over here.
