Being young is hard. Being young and gay is even harder. Being young and gay and into chubby guys, well we were just special. Whether it was totally missing the allure of whoever was on the cover of Tiger Beat magazine or forming crushes on the boys in school that nobody else cared for, we grew up a little bit… different. Here’s our top 13 signs you grew up (sometime in the 80’s or 90’s) liking chubby guys.

1. You always befriended the chubby boy in school.
