Believe it or not - for the longest time I had no idea what being Gay actually entailed beyond being bad and something you weren't supposed to be, because it could get the shit beat out of you! Later I learned that being Gay meant that you were effeminate, which of course was bad and meant that you were likely to get the shit beat out of you.
Sometime late in high school, I think, I actually clued in that it was possible for guys to be sexually interested in each other, and that's what the term meant - and shortly after that I clued in that women could be interested in each other too.
