I also grew up in a very Catholic environment/family. I didn't even know what a lesbian was or that two girls could DO that until I was 12 and watched Sailor Moon. At which point I went "oh, girls can do that. huh. ok." And moved on with my life. I've even had crushes on some guys as a kid (and on girls too). But as I grew up, I noticed that I deffinitely DID NOT like actual guys at all, not sexually anyway. Not when it came to seeing myself with them. So that's how I knew that I was a lesbian, despite shipping m/m stuff WAY more than f/f stuff and finding some fictional men attractive on an aesthetic level. (I could never get into het though. I dislike the strong gender roles.)

Does that mean that you're 100% a lesbian and not bi or straight and pavolved? I can't answer that for you. But I can tell you that, in my case, having seen that f/f is an actual possibility helped me realize what was going on with the total lack of interest in guys and growing interest in girls in real life.

I used to test my "level of gay" by looking at guys I thought I maybe found attractive in real life and then imagining myself going out with them. Let me tell you, imagining myself making out with a guy does 100% absolutely NOTHING for me. ...Imagining two fictional guys making out with each other? Score. Imagining myself making out with a girl? Score.

So, if you're still wondering... try playing little tests on yourself and see how you react to different scenarios. Judging by the rest of the replies here, what you like in your fiction isn't always connected to what you'd like for yourself. : ) No matter how it turns out, don't fret about putting yourself in a labeled box saying "ok, now I have to like this and this only!" If one day you DO find a guy you like, then that's great. (Heh, it IS a lot easier being straight. It's true!)

I reccomend reading this anyway: DAR (Super Girly Top Secret Comic Diary) http://www.darcomic.org/2003/12/29/theend-2/
The artist/author is a lesbian who happened to fall in love with a guy, and this is her life. It's a pretty interesting read. : )
