We all had that moment that made us think, Oh⌠I might not be straightâbut some are harder than others to explain to the straight folks. Instagrammer @mikalaray wanted all the deets, so she asked her followers, “What’s something random that made you realize you were gay that won’t make sense to any straight girl on the planet?”
Her answer? “Having my hair washed at the hair salon.”

The comments section lit up with hilariously relatable (and uniquely queer) responses:
- “I was around 8 when we were having a family/friend party, and a more masculine presenting woman showed up and I immediately ran into my room to change into a pretty dress to show off.”
- “When older girls called me cute!”
- “Being jealous of my best friendâs boyfriend, hating him actually.”
- “Always the dad while playing house.”
From childhood clues to lightbulb moments, her post is a goldmine of queer nostalgia. How does your “gay awakening moment” match up?
