Being Gay

Nope, it does not affect my identity in any way but it's brutal that reality does not accept LGBT like in BL and other, alike manga( atleast here （￣へ￣）). I enjoy reading BL as a hobby and makes me think just maybe I will be accepted by my loved ones and have my life story.   reply

I tried to read BL and in general, I'm just not interested at all. The best BL was honestly very good, with a real story etc but I didn't got obsessed with it like I do with yuri. But I have to admit I kind of hate BL because of how unrealistic it is and how fujoshis and fudanshis get too crazy about it, shipping people irl and stuff. I think that ......   1 reply

I always liked girls and would have probably considered myself a lesbian from a young age except for two things: A. I had a girlfriend who outed me in Jr. High, she went to school in a different city and thought it would be sweet to surprise me by riding the bus to meet me at school. It was sweet but she decided to tackle me and sit on me while ki......   2 reply

I feel like I'm one of very few that reads BL for the plot. I'm a huge lesbian and I would definitely read more GL if it had better storylines, plot structure, character development, etc. Unfortunately good GL is really hard to find because its either straight up porn, really poorly drawn/written, or left unfinished. (The few that aren't those thin......   3 reply

Until my late teens, I always have had crushes on boys. But sometimes I would have dreams I didn’t understand myself, about strong and strange connexion with girls, almost all the way from elementary school – I think I was 7 the first time. It disturbed me quite a lot, making me feel uneasy and insecure. I knew something was off, although I was......   reply

I remember something Ayano Yamane said: "My works are fiction and don't need to be taken seriously" and you know what? She's right I mean it is fiction but if it can help someone who's struggling to acept their sexuality then go ahead. For me, neither BL or GL helped me to find out I'm bi and now that I know I keep reading it for fun ╮(￣▽￣)......   reply

Bisexual. I started reading BL when I was pretty young (14), but I personally don't think it has effected my sexual identity in any way. Other things helped me realize what my identity is. I also think I have a really healthy relationship with BL since I have a very clear distinction of reality and fiction and I've had a completely normal romantic ......   2 reply

Genderfluid person, right here. For me, I confess that I would never have considered my own personal thoughts on this before I saw that men could be feminized and women could be masculine on the inside, or women could be attracted to men who love men. Things like Junjou Romantica and Super Lovers (later ) gave me a sort of 'safe zone ' to just ......   reply

I enioy BL for what it is, it's that simple. There's definitely a lot of harmful tropes in it, so as a kid it definitely gave me the wrong impression, but people grow and I at least hope that most people realise that BL isn't realistic. Basically, as long as people are aware that BL isn't "real" as such, and as long as they don't bring real people ......   3 reply

I started reading it when I was like 7 so I make a lot of sex jokes that people aroud me can't even understand (14 now) and because of BL I learnt that I enjoy reading really twisted stuff and that I'm a huge M. I'm still happy because now know that I don't really care about sex related stuff (like it doesn't bother me) and I know that I'm a bisexu......   1 reply
