How do I know if I'm gay, lesbian, or bisexual?

You don't have to know for sure, unless you want that label for yourself. I would suggest doing some research on what LGBTTQA* stands for and means. There are a lot of different sexual orientations than just lesbian, gay and bisexual- you might find one suits you better than others.

In a very simplistic explaining: Gays and lesbians feel only attracted to the people from the same gender as theirs, while bisexuals feel attracted, not necessarily on the same degree, to both genders.

nothing cause you're not a label you are free to love anyone, doesn't matter about genitals, because if you love them and they love you, genders shouldn't matter

Pay attention to who you 'crush' on. Would you enjoy kissing a girl, a boy, or both? Spend time thinking about it, and be patient. It will become more clear to you as you progress through your life, so don't rush into thinking you have to know right away. It's okay to experiment.

I can't answer that, it's up to you. If you don't know than that's okay it sometimes takes time to realize that you are but I can't define what you feel.

Though labels aren't important, you can get a good idea of what your sexual orientation may be by experimenting. Not necessarily by enjoying sexual activities, but maybe by hugs, or gentle touches on the knee.

Can you picture yourself being comfortable in a romantic and intimate relationship with a member of the same sex? Does it feel ''right'' to you? If your answer is yes, you might be part of the LGBT+ community! Of course, you can't know for sure, especially if you're just discovering who you're attracted to but it's a start. Wish you the best of luck in your self-discovery!

First of all, don't feel forced to determine your sexuality because you're reaching a certain age or your friends do. To figuree it out, just try to think back to times you've found the same and opposite sex attractive. Do you feel comfortable with the thought of being with a certain sex, or do you feel attracted to both? Don't be afraid of the answer and don't deny what you've found to be an answer to your question about your own sexuality. Keep in mind that having stereotypical "gay" traits doesn't make you gay. Your sexuality is about yourself, don't let anyone else determine it for you.

Finding out of you are bisexual, gay, lesbian,pansexual,asexual or anything else on that spectrum can be a hard, slow process. Did you ever doubt your Sexuality before? You can look up a lot of stuff on the internet. Ask people who are gay themselves. How they figured it out. Did you ever have thoughts about being woth the same gender? Would you be comfortable to have a relationship with them? It is hard to figure out. But you can do it and even if it takes a few years. Take your time. It's ok. And always remember that you are you and thwt you are beautiful the way you are.
