Not when did you come out, that’s a whole different story, but when did you know you were a gay bro?

I’ve always been excited by other guys, I remember being very young (like 7/8) and getting a bit too into the wrestling. My parents turned it off 😩

I was around 13 when someone said something about ‘gay’ and I learned it was a whole thing. It was like a light bulb moment and a bunch of things instantly made sense. And that was it, came out to some friends not long after and that was it.

How about you guys?

    It was probably the underwear aisle for me 😂

    Or that long car ride where I pretended to be asleep to bury my face in an older cousin’s crotch. I was maybe 13. Looking back, I was probably not discrete as all.

    Didn’t mess around with other guys until college, and didn’t fully come out until 23. Immediately after, I put together the first gaybro meetup in Philadelphia.

      I’m having this vision of a kid walking through the underwear aisle, his eyes getting wider and wider with the realisation of what’s going on.

      Wow you really came out didn’t you? From in the closet to organising meetups!

        Until I found a box with a ginger on it and then I just held it and STARED!

        Aiming to get gayer every day since 😃

          Ah! The elusive ginger male model, truly beautiful in their natural habitat. Pants.
