To ask how you knew you were gay?

In my early teens I would Google “Am I gay?” quizzes.

I’d also get questioned by my friends who I fancied, but I’d just pick some random guy in my class because I didn’t want them to question me further.

What about you?

Weirdly, I thought I was gay before I knew I was straight. Even my mother asked me if I was gay when I was about 14. My best friend turned out to be gay though.

My gay child (54) usually answers this type of question with "about the same time you decided you weren't gay".

Surely you just know, same way straight people just know.

I kept sleeping with women.
