When I Knew

Oprah did a great show today called "When I Knew I Was Gay." Carson Kressley (Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) said he knew when he was four years old.

As we write in Real Girl Real World (page 136, Coming Out: A Lifelong Process) "During our teen years, we are exploring sexual experiences --in a sense trying them on. We are deciding what--and whom--we like sexually. This can be an exciting time, but also a confusing one, especially if we have sexual feelings for someone of the same sex."

"When I Knew" is also the title of the book by Robert Trachtenberg.
Here's a description:
Readers will fall in love with these anecdotes, from the seven-year-old who looked under the television set to sneak a peek under Tarzan's loincloth, to the inquisitive grandmother who asked her grandson, "You don't like a girl to get married? You prefer a boy?", to the courageous field trip participant who passed up the universal favorite burger-and-fry combo in favor of the fruit plate with cottage cheese.

Seems like a great resource for gay teens, their parents, and... well, anyone.
