For me it was by watching Junjou Romantica in Youtube when I was 16. I mistook Misaki with a girl and I thought it was shoujo. So, it was a real shock for me, I didn't even know yaoi existed in general and I was super innocent even at that age. Anyways, at first I felt disgusted (I grew up in a quite homophibic family), but after that shock I became curious and kept watching. Now I only read yaoi lol.
Was going into puberty and my poor innocence got crushed by my friend who introduced me to a yaoi manga
They said "It's not porn yo nothing to be afraid of"
I'm just gonna say fuck you and thank you for sharing your favourite genre
