a recent r/askgaybros post, Reddit user u/CelebrationSpecial77 asked readers for their “I’m definitely gay” moments. “For example, I noticed my Instagram feed was full of shirtless men, my IMDb page viewing history was mostly male actors, and let’s not mention how fast TikTok figured out I was gay,” he wrote. “There was no denying it at that point.”In the comments, other Redditors shared their moments of clarity—some of which happened in department stores, some of which happened on the living room couch, and some of which happened behind closed doors. Here’s a selection of responses, edited for brevity and readability:“When I used to pay more attention to dudes in straight porn.”“For me, it was when I finally saw gay porn and witnessed two men kissing.
Then it all made sense to me.”“I blushed when my sixth-grade friend signed off an email with ‘love.’ And then I never looked at another girl ever again.”“The International Male catalog.”“The men’s undergarment sections of clothing stores.”“Man!
For me, this is it. I still remember I stared at the underwear models on the boxes while I coyly checked if my parents were watching me staring at them.”“Oh my, that’s the epiphany for so many people on here.
That and the one time I saw a man [in his] late 20s running shirtless, and he was full of muscles and was so attractive in general.
