What made you realize you might not be 100% straight? Weirdly mine was Leslie Burke (AnnaSophia Robb) in the movie Bridge to Terabithia. Specifically the scene where she wears combat boots and a dress to church. I think I rented that movie at the library 1000 times. Imagine explaining to your parents that your favorite movie is about a kid falling off a rope and dying because AnnaSophia Robb in striped fingerless gloves was your bi awakening. 

At least I’m not alone.  

I turned to Twitter to confirm that I’m not the only one who realized I was a little queer after watching a TV Show or a movie as a kid. And let me tell you, my Bridge to Terabithia fantasy is looking a lot less weird after scrolling through some people’s gay awakenings….

Starting off strong: 

Yea I think we all wished we were Leonardo DiCaprio in the car scene…

I don’t want to talk to you if you don’t agree with the following:

Twitter has me convinced that Disney and Nickelodeon were responsible for a lot of our awakenings…

Just no.

And finally, I’M NOT ALONE:
