none until high school, and only then it was some fellow classmates at a time when LGBT+ rights had made some advances and when I was a gay rights activist - otherwise I knew maybe one closeted lesbian or bisexual family member, and otherwise gay people were just associated with pedophilia and rape growing up, the idea at the time was that gay folks are sexually perverse and wrong. Growing up, Michael Jackson was like the paradigm "gay" person. I grew up in the Southern U.S., though.
