50 Men And Women On The Magical Moment They Realized They Were Not Actually Straight

22. For me it was my first wet dream starring some guy I’d later have a crush on. For the next week I was in denial of who I was: my family tends to be very conservative and the thought of telling them that I was gay terrified me, even before I knew my sexuality. Three years later I told them and I couldn’t have asked for more understanding and loving words.

And I was like “oh, shit…” Needless to say, I hated it initially.
