So don't fall into the trap of thinking that your clothes, hair or attitude determines your sexuality. Just because you are a man who is effeminate or a woman who is boyish, that does not mean that you're necessarily gay. There is no one way that gay people act or look – gay people are just as diverse as straight people. There are also signs that you might be gay to consider. You might also want to consider the possibility that you are neither gay nor straight and are bisexual or just curious. When it comes down to it, there is no reliable ' Am I Gay test', so the only way to know that you are gay ( definition of gay) is to look within yourself to determine your own thoughts and feelings towards others of the same sex.

Particularly when young, some people may ask, 'How do I know if I am gay?' if they have conflicting sexual feelings.
