When I Knew I Was Different
I was eleven and watching hours of a new network called MTV. I saw a video by April Wine called, "If You See Kay." All I could think was, if you spell that out, it says, "IF UCK". To make sure I wasn't imagining it, I wrote it down on a piece of paper.
My mom found that piece of paper during a laundry session. She screams, "Teeeeeeeeeeee - get in here! What is this?" And I'm all, "It's not what you think! Y'see - I saw this video from this band called April Wine and they have a song..."
It was then. I believe my mom felt the same. And I'm cool with that.

It seems that someone started showing extraordinary signs from the very begining.....

I knew I was different when I was five years old. I loved doing cheers in the living room. My mom caught me a few times. (lol!)

I was straight until you wrote down those letters, then magically, I became a lip pursing homosexual. At least I can equally blame a lame Canadian band.

My first realization came when I was 12 years old and saw a shirtless, muscular 18-year-old washing his brand-new 1985 Mustang GT in the driveway and felt an unusual stirring in my pants.

Could've been worse. She could've come home one day, gone into her bedroom to change clothes, and found her most recent playgirl open on her bed that you had forgotten to hide away after you were done looking at it.

I must have missed that one... I don't even remember the song?!

Those of us with the creative curse tend to see things differently anyway. I'm not surprised.

I totally blame the Sears and JC Penny catalogs. Specifically, the men's underwear sections and the "work clothes" sections (scruffy, woofy). And yes, I'm sure my mom found those catalogs somehow had been "dog eared" for later reference.

Different doesn't always mean gay, folks.
I knew I was gay when I was five and had a crush on a fireman.

I knew I was different when I learned to purse my lips like DB.

I have a distinct memory of getting my first memorable erection watching the first superman movie...

"Different doesn't always mean gay, folks."
Am I the only one who took this post as not meaning "gay"?
I understand.
