There are also signs that you might be gay to consider.

Signs You Are Gay

There is no one way that gay people act or stare – gay people are just as diverse as straight people. Just because you are a dude who is effeminate or a woman who is boyish, that does not mean that you're necessarily gay. So don't decline into the trap of thinking that your clothes, hair or attitude determines your sexuality.

When looking at the signs you are gay, you might yearn to ask yourself these questions:¹

Have I ever been sexually attracted to the same sex?
Do I touch strong emotional bonds to
