    Plenty of kids already know if they are gay or not. In my home country, I have had classmates in elementary school who are openly gay. Some cultures find it awkward to talk about it to children, whereas in some, tolerance and acceptance to lgbt is part of culture. I probably don’t need to mention about the concept and existence of third genders since the ancient times.

      I’ve heard this before, and don’t get it. I mean, sure, I’m a late bloomer, I was about 20 when I figured out my sexuality and even older when I figured out my gender. But people don’t experience attraction before puberty, right? How do they know what groups of people they’ll grow up to be attracted to?

        Well, we all have crushes when we were kids, don’t you agree?

        Edit: sorry if I sound like I am trying to put words into your mouth. What I mean is that some people already figure out what their sexuality is and whom they feel attracted to at early age. To whom you feel crush to at early age is an indicator.
