Apparently I had really good gaydar when I was 10 years old...
at least on a subconscious level.

There was one girl I had a big crush on when I was that age - she just came out of the closet.

Another one of my little preteen crushes, apparently, is now hosting one of the stages at Pride Weekend this year in my city. (Unless it's a different person with the same name, which I doubt.)

This is hilarious. I'm highly amused that a bunch of the people I was attracted to as a child have all turned out gay.

2. Nope, I'm taken :-P
Plus, I'm really not attracted to either of those people anymore - I'm just amused at how things turned out.

4. When i was in elementary school, i lived on the same block with 3 other kids
and none of us turned out to be completely straight!!

We'd run into each other here and there, and it became a running joke that there was something in the water on Winfield Drive. *L*

5. So that's who got my share of the gaydar.
It's kind of a running joke how bad mine is. Then again, my maternal grandmother had a huge crush on Richard Simmons, of all people, and swore up and down he wasn't gay, so apparently I come by the anti-gaydar honestly.

7. Mine's wrecked
I still have it for men, but not for lesbians. And I used to be able to spot a lesbian at 30 paces. Now I have to look for clues.

Khash.

9. My gaydar kicked in around 5
I knew exactly who was gay and who wasn't growing up. It took me a while to figure out what it all meant, though.
