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.
when I realized it wasn't about women. therefore, I was not included there. and somehow it made me feel at ease
because until that time the only things I had read where woman × man and it sorta grossed me out(? reply
