Coming out about Yaoi

[-Saint Ayame-]

wow...your parents and friends are so meanie! crying actually my mother doesn't care of that, and my friends are yaoi lovers too so...^^ i'm pretty lucky! heart

God, my mom thinks I'm weird enough already. She has a hard enough time believing that I'm bisexual. She's told me herself that it grosses her out to see two men kiss. I don't know, she's pretty accepting of things, but she was raised in a very protected enviornment. I'm not sure how well she would take the knowledge that I spend my online time reading/writing/viewing/drawing gay porn.

My sister pretty much knows, what with the way I forced her to look at my shounen-ai covered wall the other day. She doesn't seem to care--and really, why should she?

My friends all know. I don't even try to hide it anymore--they're open people, and they might as well know the things that I'm into. Besides, I like being seen as weird, haha. Many of my good friends are into yaoi anyway. It's harder to find yuri fans, but I'm trying. biggrin

I'm open about it, i think. Or atleast, i try to be, except around my family... i don't think i want them to know.
To my friends though, I'm very open, in fact, i like to shar my "forbidden folder" with them, which is my (should be) famouse purple folder containing all things yaoi!<3 (fanfics, things printed off the competer, stuff that i wrote/drew, pictures of people... )
But my family will NEVER know, because well, that'd be bad o_o

Discussion:
+Were you always open about your love for Yaoi.
+Do your friends or Family care that you like Yaoi?

--Yeah. I was. (: All my friends know I like yaoi. I'm p r o u d to show my love for it. <3

--Some of my guy friends get creeped out that I like gay smecks. -.-'' But they're guys, so it's expected. My family has no clue that I read/watch yaoi. But they do know I read manga and watch anime. =D  

[Ryukishai]

my parents don't know and probably don't want to.  

[Rainbow Recycle]

i have *quote* ROCKER friends and i'm open about with them but i also have *QUOTE* preppy friends which who i dont tell my love 4 yaoi too

my parents know my mom loves it  

[RionaDaidouji]

When my mum found out that yaoi was boy/boy, her reaction was "That's it? I thought from the way you were so secretive about it, it was porn or something!"

To which I replied, "No, that's yaoi hentai."

She just rolled her eyes at that.

I'm pretty lucky that my mum's pretty accepting. She doesn't know I like girls, but she suspects, and often hints that it would be okay with her if I was gay... But never out and asks me, either.

My dad doesn't ask... I think that, like my mum, he suspects, but he'd rather just not know, or not get into it.

He makes an effort to be open minded, though. Both my parents know that I'm big into equal rights and support gay marriage and stuff.

...My mom and dad would be pretty pissed.....My dad beleves every stereotype out there and seems to be homophobe...my mom was her first boyfriends first and last girlfriend he decided he prefered guys more(go him!)my friends....I don't know...most would freak....lol, I don't really care what my friends think...My parents would constantly ask me if I'm gay even though I'm I'm not and they know the person I'm dating.  

[Death By Squirrel]

If I may quote my Dad on this...

"If I found your yaoi stash, I'd probably just watch it."

He's just great like that.

... The rest of my family, on the other hand... sweatdrop

I think my mom knows about my boyxboy love obsession, but I think she is in denail....then again she does ask at least every couple weeks if I'm gay. Eh what can I say, I could care less. Mots of my friends are huge fans to so its not big deal. sweatdrop  

[Kaiju Koi]

My friends that like anime know I like it.
The others (along with my parents) are completely in the dark about it.
Nearly my entire family is really religious >>;
I'd get long talks about how I'm going to burn in hell. rolleyes  

[Visual_Kiva]

ALL of my friends know about my obsession with boy on boy stuff. (even the ones who don't like anime much... But... hey, they asked, right?)
I'm not sure about my parents, though... they MIGHT know... but they might not. I mean, with how much i talk about gay guys or awkward situations between two guys... or my giggling fits after something like that... i don't doubt that at least my mom suspects something. (And i have several pictures on my computer that my mom may or may not have seen... luckly nothing graphic stays on the computer).
They havn't hinted that they know... I don't know how they would react if they did... *shrug*  

[munkeezrool09]

I would never tell my parents.. 'cause that would mean telling 'em I am bi and yeah... it sucks.... they are liek homophobes... two of my cousins are bi and like the call them carpet munchers and crap not in front of them though..

my freinds on the other hand... one or two freinds I coul tell..
not one of my bestest freinds... I couldn't tell him he just hates anime and like gays (i think) so I am guessing he would despise the two combined... sweatdrop

 

[XxDarkSaviorxX]

Only a few of my friends know but if i told my parents i'm afraid of what they'd do. My mom knows a little about the shonen ai but if she knew about the rest i could kiss all my anime/manga of any genre goodbye...  

[Shahzoda]

Me and my friends all love Yaoi >_< and we talk about it and draw it all teh time...My parents don't know I love it, and is my dad found out...lol
