am i too young to be gay?

Hi 14yogay

You’re not too young to discover your sexuality many people know when they are very young that they are gay just as many people know at a young age they are straight.

There is no set age for figuring out your sexuality and there is really no choice either sexuality is predetermined the choice often is coming to terms with it or living in denial.

Since you have come out at school it sounds like you have accepted your sexuality and are comfortable with it.

Well done it is people like you that have the strength and courage to be open and honest about their sexuality that will make the difference and the day will come that anyone that is LGBT is accepted and no longer judged or discriminated against because of their sexuality.

thank you for your input my parents seem to think it is too young to decide your gay at age 14

Hi 14yogay
Your welcome hope it helps you some.
Your parents just may need some time to accept your sexuality, they could benefit from some educational material and there is some available at LGBT support organizations.
If they would be interested in it there are several places to get good information and support for understanding and accepting gay children.
You’re still the same son that they have always loved unconditionally and supported for the past 14 years your sexuality won’t change but they may just need some time to adjust and understand.
I think for most LGBT people when they are very young there are many things that indicate their sexuality but these indicators or tendencies are often dismissed simply because they are too young to understand them.
It is wonderful that you have been able to talk to them about your sexuality and the more you can talk to them and express your feelings and explain how you know you’re gay the easier it will get for them and you.
If you and your parents would be comfortable with it I would recommend giving a LGBT supports group a try it could be a wonderful resource for you and them both.
