Y'all say being gay/lesbian isn't a choice right? Same thing with being straight. If you read it respectfully then read it, most gay men actually don't care just as long as you're not creepy. Keep on reading :) reply
As much as y'all love to say that men don't get a say on women's issues, or that white people don't get a say on poc's issues (both of which are true), y'all, at least on here, do that exact thing to mlm people.

I don't want to sound ignorant to LGBTQ+ community, but what is the root of yaoi actually? Please check again. It's a Japanese culture. Written by women, for women, women's fantasies.
