I realized I was straight or normal as I called it, the first time I saw a documentary on 2 gay guys getting married (sometime around 1996-1999)as a toddler.
At 1st I didn't understand what the presenter was talking about or what all the hullabaloo was about , with the dad talking about how he came to except his son's decision etc.
Until I realsied that the 2 guys in suits were getting married, at which point I started feeling something was off and didn't make sense.
as a result I completely forgot all about it and went on with my day.
we soon moved out of the states, and since then I had forgotten such sexuality even existed, I was so separated from the Gay community I didn't even know Homosexuals were a real thing rather than a funny sketch on a cartoon show.
It was only when we moved back to the states that I was re-introduced to the concept and got used to it that I came to acknowledge its existence. I soon after, learnt the words "straight" and "gay" while overhearing 2 girls asking each other about their sexuality(which was a very weird thing to overhear) That was also the time that I started using the terminology. before that I thought the opposite of "straight" was "crooked".
I mostly learnt about the LGBT community thanks to TV and then from the internet.
Is it possible for a girl to be gay? I thought they were called lesbians! Am I going crazy? Dfntly not, cuz I already am.
But anyway, has my life been based on a lie?
Gay primarily refers to men but it also often used as a general term to mean homosexual. Calling a lesbian gay is like calling a Labrador a dog. It's less specific.
At what age did you start to realize if you were gay or heterosexual?

Female gay people are called lesbians, you are correct.
