You know, my first sexual experiences were with other girls -- we were about ten and just curious about how touching certain body parts felt good, you know? I was fascinated by the female form until I was about 14 and realized that's not what I was "supposed" to be interested in. In fact, I had a serious mental block about oral sex (receiving) for a long time, because it reminded me that I wasn't exactly "straight".
I've had a few crushes on girls as an adult, but other than that pre-teen experimentation, never really acted on any of them. (Okay, except for that one college party when I got completely drunk and kissed a good friend, who was a bit receptive but then freaked out later.) Of course, I've been in a monogamous relationship for a long time now and hope to be for a long time more, so it's a bit of a moot point these days.
As a result, I've never been able to decide if I can legitimately call myself bisexual or not. But I like the "queer" label, and if anyone forces me to classify myself, that's the one I pick. And I am SO not out to my family. Well, my sister and a few of my cousins know, but it's all fairly theoretical in some ways. :-/
