When they dont realize youre gay buzzfeed

How Did You Know You Were Gay?

And being the eldest of three boys, they wanted me to carry on the family name. I hadn't really come out as gay then, but I saw that he was being taken advantage of. It mattered that I told him I was gay. I realised there was a problem with how topics of sexuality and gender [were] being discussed.

We were at a queer rights rally and I saw how much the queer community needed a lot of support. That was a bit of a shock.

At first it was really difficult to process. But now I know that love is love and I will love my mum no matter what and I will love whoever she loves.

I had past relationships and they were just disastrous. I was young, I was I met a guy and we started seeing each other. And that was when I knew I had to tell my family. I was ready. So I wanted to shake that. I wanted them to see me for me and to feel accepted. It was a huge parade.

People were very colourful, wearing different outfits. And I thought 'I wanna be a part of that'. Back then, I was still an outsider. It was very invigorating and opening.
