I was never in denial. When I didn't like yaoi, I didn't like it, and now that I do, I love it.

Well when I first got into Yaoi, my best friend liked it , and so we basically kept it to ourselves but eventually our other friends got into its and we were like hells yeah! But i was never in denial, I knew what I liked but if someone homophobic said anything about it I'd just not say anything. Everyone is intitled to their own opinion. 3nodding

Nope, I don't deny it. Most of my friends know I like it by now, they're fine with it. Some of my friends don't know simply because the subject hasn't come up. If it ever does, they'll find out. *shrugs*
DarksLight is my yaoi-loving friend, I talk about it with her. My other friends aren't really even into anime, so I don't talk about it much with them.

i wouldn't call it denial, so much as "shame". i found it on my own and liked it, but my friends weren't into it. so i continued to like it, just not in front of anyone. it's when i started writing fanfics that i didn't care if anyone knew. i had some open-minded friends of mine beta my work and having them praise my obssession made me ok with it. i still blush when my boyfriend finds me witing or read yaoi, but he says as long as i don't writing him with any guys, he's cool. i told i'd never do that, i like him being straight and with me... now his personality on the other hand... xd

I wouldn't exactly call myself in denial. Don't get me wrong, I ADORE my BL, but I'm not exactly open about it. Ok, that's a lie..I have a I heart Yaoi bookbag... sweatdrop ( I'm getting a new one ). But I don't ever really like explaining it to other people, though it is great fun when someone does know what it is, and aren't, you know, disgusted by me.
I think that's why I don't talk about it. I don't want to be thought of as gross. I know that sounds horrible, but it's not about it being two guys. It's that I don't want people thinking ( knowing ) that I look at...and like to look, at what is essentially love-making. It makes me, and everyone else here, look like perverts. Which I know we aren't.

yaoi is wowie...I mean, i'm probably a little too loud when me and my friends get talking about it...but I don't force my likes on people who are uncomfortable with it.
But I certainly don't try to hide it...haha.....
*stares at I <3 Yaoi badge on her backpack*

Anise Skye Do you truly think you're a yaoi fan girl/boy or are you actually in denial and is forcing yourself to like it? That's my question. When I was younger, most of my friends were homophobic and I denied that I liked it. Sometimes I feel like it's actually true. Now though, I knew that I was in denial back then and I'm accepting that I LOVE yaoi. Ever felt that way? i'm not denying it, i like the stuff, the whole love contrast appeals to me, but i'm not into the whole in the bedroom stuff, i like the whole innosent stuff... well i think you could've rephrased what i just said and contradict me. but yeah i wouldn't call myself a #1 fan girl/boy like a lot of people do here, i just straight up like it, that's pretty much it. maybe i'm trying to say that i'm the more conservative type, yah. whoever forces themselves into liking something they don't like, shouldn't do it. it's not right to be or like something your not/ don't like. if you ask that question tho, i don't think the people whose forcing themselves will step up and just say it. they'll probably tell a say something that goes around the idea of forcing themself into liking it... all in all i think it's the whole pree-pressure stuff like your story. and what you say is really common to all of us especially back in the day, i sound like i'm hella old, don't i? neways, yah. people should just be themself and if they don't really know who they are inside (sort of me) they should try new things and play it by that. .... blah blah blah... i've been borring all of you huh? sweatdrop

Munchen My friend is in denial. She's homophobic and she's trying to pretend she likes yaoi... I just wish she could just be herself and stick with her own opinions.
But me? No way dude! I love yaoi! <3
I have to write a paper on gay marriages and the arguements on it.
Some girl in my class is against it... >.< well, what you think about this? my friend says she loves that stuff... and she squels and go all *swoony* over it when she sees anything yaoi. she would even stare if two guys were kissing right in front of (which has happened on many occasions) but then she gets all paranoid and digusted when a girl hits on her(happened many times too) I mean i kind of see what she thinks and all but shouldn't she be more passive about it since she's so used to all that ga/bi/lesb/etc. stuff? i mean come on she's a supporter to gay marriages... what do you all think?

I love it! And I draw some shonen-ai and I show it to everyone. Some people go, "gross", some people go, "Nice work", my favorite people go, "That's hot!"
Yeah. No denial for me. Maybe about other things... (no, no, I didn't run your rabid dog over!)
... But not about yaoi/shonen-ai. smile

dame_rambo there's a difference between being okay with other people's sexuality and being okay with them using it on you. it's like the difference between being okay with your friend being of alternate religion and them trying to convert you... get it? yah, actually that makes way sense. 3nodding
