Wanna hear an awkward story?
Well, just as i am closeted, i also dont usually let people except my friend know i watch BL and GL. They know that if a show has a gay side couple in it i will still watch it, bt they dont know that i watch animes with main gay couples. So i have 2 animes on Hulu in my stuff that are BL. One is something Romantica and if you look at the picture you cant tell it is BL, if just has two random dudes. The other one, Love Stage has two boys about to kiss as the picture. Well, i was telling my otaku uncle some of the animes i watch and he was giving some suggestions, and i went to my stuff to show the ones i watch... and there was Love Stage. All he says about it is "I never took you for someone who watches shounenai". For those who dont know, shounenai is the BL genre of anime, another name for it is yaoi. However, the dofference is that if you were to search yaoi somewhere you would probably get more explicit results than shounenai, even though shounenai and yaoi are both BL. But yeah... that was an awkward situation while i just stayed silent until talking about another anime. Thank goodness it was my uncle and not one of my parents. That would have probably raised questions.
