Every couple of months, we ask LGBTQ members of the BuzzFeed Community to send us pictures of their younger not-so-straight selves. Because it's Pride Month, I asked again and you delivered with more great pics. Enjoy.

5."I had a Spice Girls picture book and copied Baby Spice’s poses in every photo I took in the '90s. ✌"—jonob93
12."My mini lezzie self was all business in the front and party in the back! And no butch would be complete without a workout panda shirt!" —amandab225
13."The flannel, the sunglasses, my brother’s shoes, and my dad’s hat." —valb4d3667845

17.Even at age 3 I couldn’t sit in a chair like a normal person. — Alice
18."As a young girl, I got cast in my school's Christmas play...as one of the Wise Men. Mum unknowingly helped me get into my first drag — even drawing a beard on me.” —lildragjesus
19."I didn't know I was gay yet, but my mom's shirt sure did." —Jay Jay
20."Striking a pose even when I was supposed to be fishing." —codystretchb
26."As a non-binary person who uses they/them pronouns, this makes perfect sense to me. My bowl cut, rainbow heart shirt, and the pose. Iconic awkward androgyny." —mgtuff99
28."I'm a gay trans man who loves dresses. I made outfits like this all the time as a kid, which caused my parents not to believe me when I came out six years ago. But now that it's a little more acceptable for people to wear what they like regardless of gender, I can confidently wear what I want and not worry about what others think again :)" —maxymurder
29."If this cross-legged picture with Ball Gown Minnie didn't do it for 'em, I'm not sure what else they were waiting for. This was a complete serve for 4-year-old me." —ColieOlieOleman
30."Oh, this? Just a sign I made, printed out, colored IN A RAINBOW and demanded my dad take a picture of me for absolutely no reason other than to proclaim my love for all things Les Mis." —travisgrossi
31."The Hawaiian shirt and King Princess haircut should have been indicators of my lesbianism early in life!" —izzyrusso

40."The clothes, the hair, the pose, the stare. The gayest bb." —alymarie29
