Hey, just wanted to say this is an interesting thread.

Anyway, I'm 17, female and purely gay. Unlike majority of people I can see up here I have no told anybody I'm gay and I don't realy plan to either. To me, being gay is something that I can treasure as a part of myself that I love more than anything. It's a piece of information that defines me in a way that stereotypes, race, religion and ethnicity could never.

Anyway, besides my little rant. Explanation: I've never been in denial about it. I just saw a girl one day, thought she was cute and I've just sort of gone along with it ever since. I suppose my experiences and explanations aren't very interesting but I just wanted to give the view of someone who is gay but who didn't struggle with it and who doesn't find it a problem.

I'd be quite content to tell my friends and family but it's simply the fact that I don't want and the issue has never come up before.

So, I'll stop rambling now. Tata.
