I'm straight. I've never doubted it. There was a moment when I finally understood (at a gut level) how one might be a homosexual male (I'd never had problems with lesbianism. I like girls, so I can see how someone else might. I don't get any real thrill from men so I don't really see how anyone else does; not even straight women. I'm glad they do, but it still baffles me a little).
That understanding came watching the IMAX film, Chronos, when The David was displayed, larger than life.
Back to the topic.
I've always known I was straight, back before I had any real idea what to do with girls I knew they made me feel good (and I was having sexual fantasies as early as 7, vague and incoherent, but sexual).
So I don't have any problem with someone whose not had sex with someone of the same gender saying they are homosexual, any more than I do a virgin telling me they are heterosexual.
Same goes for bi, though perhaps some of that is mere confusion, and experience will clarify (I know a few people who thought they were bi until they tried it; male and female a couple were gay, a couple were straight).
