I'm gay and i remember knowing i was gay in the sense that i liked boys and felt different on the inside from my peers going back to the 1st or second grade. ( i remember very little or NONE of my life before this)
since it was before puberty i didn't have sexual lust towards other boys but i felt attracted to them and had crushes on them in more of a platonic non sexual way.
also i remember that i felt more gentle or softer than other boys at that age. i didn't like sports, though i was made to join all of them and i preferred playing more gentle games like tag or four square. I also remember in the first grade i liked to play house in playtime at school where most of the other boys avoided this like the plague.
at age twelve when puberty started i felt sexual and romatic attraction to other boys. i had a very deep crush on an older boy but of course i never told my family or friends any of this. i remember also not understanding why my friends liked girls so much.
i was NEVER molested and grew up in a normal family in north dakota. my brother and sister are both straight and my parents are still married.
I was actually the most conservative one. i was the only one of my siblings who regularly went to church, spirituality was and still is very important to me. i even got a degree in religion from the university and at one time was considering becoming a pastor. I didni't come out to my family until i was in my mid twenties, i'm now in my early thirties.
I dated a couple of girls when i was younger but there was NO physical or emotional attracted. it even felt gross kissing them.
never chose to be gay, just always was that way.
Almost all of this also describes me. Although I remember an attraction to boys as early as age 5.
I think gay people know quite a bit more about their sexuality than you do. I have never met a gay person who said they became gay because the opposite sex rejected them.
1st grade? Why does a first grader have any sexual interests AT ALL? Wouldn't that lead one to believe something abnormal is going on?
You never knew little kids that played doctor? Or never caught a toddler playing with him/her self because it felt good?
Seems like pretty normal growing up stuff to me.
The topic is just so stupid. It is not a choice.
Just like you don't choose to be born with, let's say 4 fingers instead of 5.
1 is a birth defect and 1 is due to hormones and chemical processes in your body.

At what age does gayness start?
