Gay men sometimes say that they knew they were gay when they were small children, and people don't believe it because they think of their childhood experience as free from these feelings, but it sounds completely plausible to me.
You're right -- I think most people have those feelings one way or another as children, but either don't recognized them or are too ashamed of them and repress the memories.

Shame is a sad thing.
