When did you realize you were straight?

I think pride is in what you do, achieve, accomplish, help with, etc. not in what you are born to be, your nature or what circumstances made/make you.

Who you are is who your are and good people will accept you for it. Those who don't accept you for your nature, something you were born with and had no choice in, are not good people and you should leave them be.

That is often true, Smart Guy. BUT many otherwise good people are simply ignorant (lack knowledge) of how natural homosexuality and transexuality are and how much it means to be free to accept and freely express oneself.

It is both legitimate and needed to stand up and refuse to be silent and hidden when such basic needs as self-acceptance and the right to pursue happiness are denied.

I agree with you, but I think your position would be clearer if you phrased it a little differently. Obviously, if one's nature leads him or her to serial murder, then good people are apt to frown upon it. But I'm nit-picking. :)

I like the spirit of this post, but I think it ignores just how many serial killers and psychopaths have genetic and biological alterations that make them hard to accept.

It's okay guys, I still like you :D

When did you realize you were straight? I felt attracted to girls at least as early as first or second grade. By the time I was in third grade, I was fantasizing about having sex with girls. I had not yet been told about sex, but I instinctively sensed that something like sexual intercourse was possible, and I can still recall how exciting the thought of it was.

I invite anyone who is straight and unashamed to post here and tell us when you found out you were straight. Apparently it is now intolerant and bigoted to be straight and proud in this upside down politically correct society we live in.

Straight and Proud! Unite!
I found out I was straight the moment the word was defined for me.

Okay, you are proud to be straight. And I am so happy for you.
But you should be more empathetic with homosexuals, who have not been as lucky as you. Straight pride sounds like an unfair game toward gay people, with whom nature has already been unfair enough

I realized I was straight when I asked out a classmate in 3rd grade.

I realized I was bi when my best friend asked me out in college.

Didn't know I was straight until I found out there was some other way I could have been. Don't really recall when, but am guessing it was in my early teens.

I realized that I really loved girls at a young age thanks to Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams and Kat in Casper, and Liv Tyler in Empire Records. :D
