When did you first realize you were queer?

I'll go first. I was 7 or 8 and I remember getting these weird butterfly feelings in my chest when I teased the next door neighbor girl. I think I knew it was a weird way to feel even then, because when I learned what being gay was a few years later, it was kind of a relief--I had a label to put on it.
 
I labeled myself gay when I was about 10, but I knew I like boys long before then. What convinced me was having a huge crush on my best friend in 6th grade.
