i only did it for a while with my friends. i’m a lesbian and the guys in my class are very clearly homophobic (not necessarily to me and not “hate crime” level but generally enough to be annoying). so then i decided to just laugh around with my friends and “shipped” them together, and just turned their simple interactions into “love” ...... reply
i-i’m gay. are you shocked?
no but for real i had a dream this one time (like a week ago, i think, so not so long ago) and it was fucking messed up. and i swear it made me more sure of the fact that i don’t EVER want to come out to my parents. i remember briefly, kind of and fucking shit, i hate it.
so... i was with my mum and we were talking...... 1 reply
I read yaoi in all sorts of places: at school, in the bus, in restaurants. But, I’m very careful around my parents, just the thought of them finding out is...terrifying. I read around my friends freely because they know that I read yaoi. I just can’t help but always think “what happens in the next chapter” or “what happens in that one man...... reply
i re-read this and i hate the way i phrased some things, so i’ll fix some through here because idk if i can edit it, it doesn’t show me the option. now first of all i’m pretty sure i don’t like men so i am in fact gay (this wasn’t the correction just adding to it). i hate the terms yaoi so scrap that. but about “not finding good gl”, ...... reply
I am pretty openly gay. I didn’t walk in front of my class and say “HEY, I’M GAY”, but I speak to my friends about being gay quite openly so I know that people in my class are aware that I’m pretty gay (well at least most of them do).
And this one time I had just used a glue stick (provided by the school) and this guy asked “can I use ...... reply
I am a lesbian (at least I think I am because I’m not attracted to men, maybe bi or pan but definitely queer). I read yaoi mainly because I like reading fiction that can contain more explicit scenes because that gives the manga/manhwa more things to work with. I stay away from hetero manga/manhwa because it makes me feel weird about myself and I ...... reply
I am queer, and aware of the fact that I like women, whether I am bisexual, pansexual or a lesbian, is something I am still trying to figure out.That’s beside the point, but I want to know what other LGBTQ+ people think of yaoi and yuri.
Personally I read yaoi (and BL) despite barely having an attraction to men (maybe even not at all). Yaoi is usually “made for straight women” and yuri is “made for straight men” as we already know. So I thought I’d clear out some things first
I feel like reading about heterosexual relationships makes me feel weird about myself, but I don’t have any problem with straight people or heterosexuality. It’s just in hetero romances people never face “gay problems” like figuring yourself out, feeling “abnormal”, and coming out.
Not only that but I feel like I want to see couples that I almost never openly see be in a relationship. Straight people are everywhere in reality, and feel like BL is an escape from that.
I do sometimes like reading GL (I don’t read on here though), because it’s like “oh, that’s cute, I can’t wait to get a girlfriend too”, but I can’t ever really find “good” yuri. And with yaoi it’s more like “I’m never going to do experience this because I am not a man” so I can’t relate to it so it feels good to see relationships that do not relate to me. But obviously BL/yaoi are fiction and no where near like real life so it’s just for fun (except the rapey shit, I feel bad and don’t really enjoy that).
I wanted to know if other LGBTQ+ people felt the same or if you have had other experiences with yaoi/yuri. I just want to know more about people that I have some things in common with
did liked someone i shouldn't like
