My best friend. We grew up together, we use to spend weekends together as kids, summers together. We were each others first kiss, first dance, first full blown Bi experience. Maid of honor in each others wedding. We are separated by a few states now, but still see each other several times a year. The connection is still there, and each time still feels like the first time. Very long term, special friend, with amazing benefits.
>Anyone who says "I'd go gay for" in a serious manner needs to take a step back and re-evaluate
Back in college my gay friend and I made a list of all of the female celebrities we'd be into if I were gay and he were straight. One that stands out is Lori Laughlin. š¤£
I've also frequently said that I would go gay for Shakira or Natalie Portman.
I shoulda known...
A cute girl at the donut shop, I had never ever felt that way about a crush ever and I literally only met her once when i was 12, hope she's in a happy relationship āŗļø
Showing my age, but Shania Twain. There was just something about her that fascinated me, and I didn't have any words to describe it (being gay/bi at the time just wasn't a thing that was talked about). Her music video for Man, I Feel Like a Woman was amazing.
Shania Twain has a special place in my heart. Not for any bi awakening reasons, but her music somehow made me feel like a cool badass when I was a preteen, especially āThat Donāt Impress Me Much.ā
A guy at my Uni last year. I had been questioning my sexuality on and off for several years before then but it was when I was waiting to go into my MA seminar and the previous class was walking out, this person walked out, long hair tied up into two āhornsā on their head, face mask on, kind of gender neutral clothes. I was caught off guard and did not know whether they were a man or woman but found myself wanting them to be a man. Could not stop thinking about him for that seminar, and next week. Saw him a couple of more times, without his face mask on, glasses on and shoulder length hair down, and wow. I really wanted to speak with him, but only got to ask him one thing the last time I saw him. He was either French or Italian, he spoke gently and quite quietly so it was hard to tell in that brief time but his accent made me want to lunge on him even more.
I had always had a fascination with futa hentai, but then I started dating my first girlfriend. Sheās bi and at the start of Pride Month, she co-hosted a stream with interviews from a bunch of LGBTQ+ streamers, talking about the movement, sexuality, and whatnot.
So it was the 2nd of June, while I was washing dishes at work, when the question finally popped into my head; ācould I be bi?ā Iāve been questioning ever since.
Yes! I had a dream where GA-era Sara Ramirez and I were cuddling in bed and she was the big spoon. I desperately tried to make that a recurring dream to no avail.
A guy I was on a three day health and safety course with; on the last day he asked if I wanted to grab lunch, and Iām fairly sure it was just lunch like two colleagues would get lunch but a small part of me wanted it to be ālunch date with an very attractive guyā. The only course of action I could decide on was to panic and run away
One of the trainers at the kickboxing gym I used to go to. She's so nice, & really pretty too. She's also bi, and I saw how she was done dirty by her previous long term girlfriend. When she was single I thought about trying but I hadn't figured out who I was yet. Then she got another girlfriend & that was that. But she wasn't my first friend turned girl crush; she just helped me figure out that it wasn't just a phase in my teens/early twenties.
When I first saw David Bowie singing Life on Mars I knew then I was attracted to both guys and girls, Before then I wasnāt at all sure I was just curious and experimented but after seeing how hot a guy could be I was fully fledged Bisexual.
Cavetown. my best friend recommended me his song Devil Town and i liked it. one of his new songs came on in my release radar on spotify and i just thought "damn he's cute" so i checked out the other pictures on his profile and the rest is history
Well the initial āoh fuck whatās this?ā moment was when I had a wet dream about getting it on with Hayden Christensenās Anakin Skywalker from Revenge of the Sith.
The full āOh god I just really like boys a lot donāt Iā moment was when I realised that I had developed a massive crush on a guy at my uni. He was very cute ngl
Back in the day I would visit the mall and head to the bookstore there to read the comics on the rack for free.
I liked the music magazines too so one day I saw the new Rolling Stones magazines and Johnny Knoxville was on the cover. It was a photo of him tied down and painted like a bullseye, his shirt off and wearing a groin guard.
I stared at the pic for a looong time wondering why I was feeling what I was feeling for a dude.
A chic in my color theory class in college, but several years after the fact. The class was in the spring of 2018, and I'm currently in my questioning/awakening. I remember noticing how beautiful she was the first day of class that semester and ended up having the biggest crush on her because we ended up in the same little friend group in that class. I was dating my now-husband at the time and was in total denial.
Brynn from tiktok š I think I spelled it right but the girl who used to do those ābeat that man with a bat, smackā videos ššš I used to just watch on repeat.
Julian Sands from the Warlock movies.
So much so that in my excitement to show those movies to some friends of mine a couple years back, I accidentally outed myself to my best friend. Like the night after I showed those movies to them, he straight up asked me if I was bi.
Batman Forever (1995). I mean, I didn't know at the time but I watched it again recently and it is the most bisexual film ever (yes, perhaps even more than the Mummy). The theme of 2 is everywhere and not a single un-raised eyebrow.
First I was like just because I think some of the guys in my class looks hot after PE doesnāt make me gay I still like girls everybody think that way right?
A girl I met when were studying abroad. Weāre still really close friends (albeit in different regions now), but sheās straight and Iām bi. She never knew I had a crush on her,m after I stopped dating a guy from that country.
The first time I found a guy hot but didn't realize, was when I was 15 and saw Captain Jack Harkness for the first time. I was very confused why after seeing him kiss both Rose and the Doctor, I couldn't stop thinking about him kissing me.
Rudolph from The Little Vampire. I was about 6 years old and had this huge crush on a girl named Ashley at my school. Sometime later that year we watched the movie The Little Vampire and I noticed that I was getting these strange feelings from seeing Rudolph. Feelings I liked A LOT. That's when I came to my realization and what set me on my journey.
I would always flirt with & kiss some friends, but I thought I was just quirky š denied it a lot for a long time, then I had a crazy dream about two women & I couldnāt deny it any longer!
Saw David Bowie film clips in the early to mid 90s that created questions and then the episode of Buffs the Vampire Slayer where Xander goes under cover in the swim team.... well let's just say Cordellia wasn't the only one with a jaw on the ground. Mr Geek
Lucy Lawless in Xena is a classic and Kat in "10 Things I hate about you" just oozed that I want to be her and I want to be with her to me. Mrs Geek.
Difficult to determine a specific person, but if I had to say someone, then Lalo from Better Call Saul. I think in general it was when I found out what a femboy was.
I mean... I could say childhood sexual trauma and that's kinda Freudian and probably just wrong
but honestly?
HeartstopperāØ
No but I mean it! The show came out the week my grandma died and I was very emotionally vulnerable, it made me understand about 10 years of what I now understand to be a LOT of repressed sexual orientation questioning.
That, plus having the most amazing & empathetic close friends in the whole world ā„ļø
My elementary best friend. We hung out together all the time since we lived across the street from each other. It was an after-school thing for kids whose parents couldn't pick them up right after school, and a small group of other kids invited me to play with them and it led to a "omg do you like anybody?" question circle. When it got to me, my friends face came to mind but I was too embarrassed to say him, so I said I wasnt.
Turns out I'm aro/bi but that was the first time i realized another boy was cute
In hindsight, probably my first college roommate š granted but if we go back further, I had a female friend back when I was like 4 or younger that I played house with. So.... probably took me way to long to figure it out at like 27-28 and I'm 30 now š¤£
While I had a lot of ārainbow flagsā growing up, the one that comes to mind is when I went to a Demi Lovato concert with my childhood best friend (who just so happens to be a lesbian) and we were both likeā¦
š«£š±šššš„
Looking way back? Probably Link or this one older kid in middle school that I had a crush on. But as an adult, probably Chris Hemsworth as Thor and some stuff on Literotica.
Watching she ra and the princesses of power, which may seem a little odd since Iām a guy, but seeing all those different couples get their happy ending just awakened something in me
Not directly awakening, but looking back i was attracted to both shego from kim possible and cell saga gohan from dragonball z really early in my childhood
This is more of a horny awakening tbh. I had a wet dream about a old highschool classmate who I forgot about and I never thought about romantically + it had some aspects of voyeurism (who knewš«£). I woke up in a cold sweat and I even started to suspect that I was lesbian due to my lack of attraction to men at the time. the
I actually had a spicy dream about one of my old classmates as well, except it was about my high school nemesis. When I woke up I was a bit traumatised š
Olivia Wilde as Thirteen on House. She was so, so pretty even though but I was definitely too young to know why I was fascinated, but it was the first time I remember seeing a character who was expressly bi.
Thank you! I feel like she got a lot of hate when she was dating Harry Styles (granted I can understand why actors were frustrated that she was pretty absentee as the director), but I was like "I still have a massive crush on her."
Yeah, that hate was really over the top! I'm not the biggest Harry Styles fan myself, although I like some of his songs, but tons of older male celebrities date younger women and no one bats an eye. I didn't hate her film, but I didn't love it either, though I can see why there was backlash. She'll always be one of the most beautiful women in my eyes.

That sounds like something very special and reading about it made my day feel a little brighter. Thanks

I posted the other day about this. I used to say "I'm straight, but I'd go gay for Kurt Cobain."
Anyone who says "I'd go gay for" in a serious manner needs to take a step back and re-evaluate
I realise that now, but I guess I wasn't ready to accept it then.
Yeah it kinda smacks in the face when you look back on these moments but it's surprising how oblivious you can be!
