How did you know?

When did you know you were LGBTQ+?

It's a question most of us have been asked at some point. Some people always just knew. There’s no big moment, no dramatic realization — just a enviable sense of self that was always there. But for many of us, that moment of realization may have been brewing for some time before slapping us upside the head all at once. And life-changing moments like those are hard to forget.

Lesbians on reddit recently decided to dish on their own sexuality realizations. From crushes on TV characters, friendships that hit a little too hard, or simply finally putting meaning to the butterflies that only come when looking at girls, some of their stories will definitely resonate — for better or for worse.

1. Butterfly surprise! 

Too relatable.

2. A poolside realization.

It's giving The Sandlot.

3. The forehead kiss. 

Freaking adorable!

4. Warrior princess awakening

...enough said.

5. Playing house ... pet.

That's the way to do it!

6. The body knows.

A logical conclusion!

7. The infamous kiss. 

Yes. Yes we do know the one.

8. And the result is? Gay.

Sometimes the answer is obvious.

9. Whoops! 

And they were tunnel-mates.

10. Putting the forever in BFF.

Well, better late than never!
