If only

Thank you @The only boi for saying what I was thinking (though I might have to disagree on that general "being female is easier" point). I might enjoy reading BL and GL, but wishing to become a persecuted group, even if jokingly, unnerves me.
I'm not even homosexual. I'm an asexual that hates having sex, and we don't have it anywhere near as hard as homosexuals.
Still, I remember how I used to think something was wrong with me, how I wished that I was straight, how not telling anyone hurt relationships with my family, how the simple suggestion of me not having sex prompted my mother to scold me, getting told I'm going against God for not procreating.
I couldn't handle being gay. I wouldn't be able to live with that. I'm romantically attracted to all genders, and the fact that I have to be thankful that I'm generally attracted to the opposite sex more often than I am the same sex is extremely fucked up.
I realize you all don't mean it in a bad way, but it's just kind of fucked up to read that someone wants to be a minority when you've struggled because of that. It kind of feels almost like a personal insult that trivializes what you've been through.
No hate towards anyone here. Just explaining why people might not see it as a joke. :)

Salutations , I may not have experienced what you went through as a person who's attracted to the same gender but no parent should have to deny their child love for that reason. No person should make a parent feel like they would fear for that child's safety because of the hate. No person should fear to love the same gender or fear to be the gender opposite of who she or he was born as. It's a shame that even though we as homo sapiens may attain more knowledge than animals they have a better understanding of love than half the world.

YES YES SAME IF POSSIBLE I WOULD BE THE TOP, DEFINITELY (seme). Btw these comment's too long like REALLY long skipped it (I'm the type who reads comments and replies just like in utube) p2n,900m (=・ω・=)

No true Yaoi Fan takes these things as a joke. With the world today being so connected through, news, social media, technology. We have seen, heard, family, and friends experience the social repulse, hatred and abuse of people who love the same gender or choose to live as the opposite of his or her gender. What I'm trying to say is that its not bad that ppl want to see that kind of relationship as Beautiful. There is absolutely no ill intent when ppl accept someone loving the same gender or choosing to live as the opposite. I see it as change that should of never taken this long to accept ppl of every race, color, religion, and sexual preference(▰˘◡˘▰). The TRUE Yaoi community is Not prejudice (๑•ㅂ•)و✧Slowly but surely the world is beginning to stop the prejudice and hate.

Some of use have experienced it first hand but that doesn't mean that we should verbally attack ppl who choose to see that kind of love as wonderful, beautiful, and envious. What I'm trying to say is that its not bad that ppl want to see that kind of relationship as Beautiful.

But do you understand tho that saying you want to become a boy just so you can experience being gay DOES seem like a bad joke considering so many people are gay and they know how it feels to be an actual gay person out in the real world. You keep saying it's for fantasy, yeah, I get it, but the affect is still hurtful. No one chooses their sexual orientation and that gay guy you wanna become probably hates being gay because he's basically hated by majority and you're over here saying you wanna be him. I know yalls don't mean any harm with what yalls said but it is kind of stupid to wanna be gay for such a reason when there are real gay people out there suffering. It's kind of foolish to say something like that tbh the more I read about your reasoning behind why saying something like that is okay, the more stupid I think this argument is. I'm not saying this because I wanna create some hate or anything, I just think your side of the argument is really stupid. You have your reasons but for something completely unrelated to why the only boi started his point. Laters. I still love yaoi, I still like this community, so there's no point in you giving me paragraphs of education either because I don't want it. I've read enough of what you wrote to the only boi. Thanks. Keep on loving yaoi.

Relationships our formed regardless of status in wealth, color, religion, gender. Every love story that had a tragic ending because two people were not allowed to be together were envied by many. Even though it was tragic and difficult its that ideal love that people wanted in their own lives. A love with no concern to gender, wealth, color or religion. People who got into a relationship and did even though they knew the consequences it would cost, I guess you would call them stupid simply because you don't understand the way they think. No two minds are alike. Someone I disliked I can now call family. Someone I once called friend is now a stranger. Don't assume you really know someone.

I am definitely sure the people here who were saying above the they like to be gay does not mean any harm or any disrespect towards homosexuality.they said it because they admire it in a manga . This was actually not meant to be that seriously as people above were only talking about their fantasy .sometimes when we see beautiful thing in a a show or anywhere else we always think like oh I wish to be there or I wish I could be like that there nothing wrong with it and does not mean they mean to mock you or anything that was just the heartfelt admiration that they had and someone said it.i am pretty sure they know that being homosexual in a society is not easy so isnt that a good thing that they are not being prejudice towards homosexuality and world is changing slowly but youth are accepting ,when they want to be like you.yes there are discrimination more than the people who have acceptance but shouldn't we be happy that there are people who want to be like us .I don't think it's a bad thing I was happy when I saw that people saying oh I wish I was a guy .I know its fantasy but I am happy people accept it . And in real life I am sure they don't want to be a guy that phrase is just out of admiration and their love towards BL .I am a lesbian and I am grateful towards you guys that you accept homosexuality.be it in real life or in manga .I have been hated because of my sexuality I don't live with my parents anymore and I know what it feels like to be discriminated I came from a country where gays are taboo. Why all the hate just because of one words why to watch things negatively instead of seeing it in a new light.insated of thinking like.oh,'you want to be gay let me tell you it's not easy to be gay okay do even know how much we are suffering and you want to be gay tsk' why can't we be like oh I am so glad you like us and don't discriminate it makes me happy when there is so much hate in this world there are people too who admire us.

....okay... let's re-evaluate your whole thought process because I see we're going in a circle. First your quote, "If you want to full your thoughts on the unhappiness of the real world go ahead but not here". Meaning the only boi is NOT allowed to speak his mind which is very different from yours on here, contradicts everything about you here, "No two minds are alike. - Don't assume you really know someone." I think I've made the case clear :) so no one is allowed to have their own thoughts except for special Blu. Of course. Oh and btw, you're spouting nonsense. Literally. You should stop. It's embarrassing to read you trying to make a point when....I don't really see one. Bye. Muting the notifications for this topic because it's really stupid ヾ(❀╹◡╹)ﾉ~

But this post didn't say anything about that. It talked about wanting to be a persecuted group because of some sexual fantasy.

Being serious about it makes it even worse.

Of course it can only be a fantasy to some. Homosexuality is not the only persecuted group. Jews, Africans, Hebrews, immigrants, Christians etc all had a time and some are still today, a period in which they were persecuted. Ppl that wanted to be apart of that converted, married, accepted and supported them even if they were the same or not. Yaoi is directed towards female fans since the genre is more popular to girls. The majority of ppl that read yaoi, buy merchandise and attened the conventions are girls. That's how the mangakas make their income off of their works. To blame people for wanting to be attracted to the same sex is futile ╮(￣▽￣)╭. Their numbers are greater than any army and growing (⊙…⊙ )

But I don't sit around thinking, "Man, I wish I was black."
What you're saying is insulting to both gay and trans men, and the LGBTQ community in general.
Fantasy is one thing, but actually wishing for it just because it turns you on is fucked up and borderline insulting. I'd honestly rather it be a joke than a serious comment.

Honestly that comment about gays not being the only persecuted group makes no sense, is completely irrelevant, and trivializes the struggles homosexuals face in today's toxic society.

Yes no one should join into a topic where your opinions are insults at others who are enjoying talking about the topic posted. Why make yourself stressed and angry talking negatively and being disrespectful by calling Ppl names. You know have become the person you hated when they called you names.

I'm insulting for being insulted by your insulting comment?

What was the insult directed at you?

I'm not even going to bother with this any more if you can't even grasp that what you said is horrible.

Yes I've heard ppl say I wish I was black, I wish I was gay, I wish I was lesbian. I wish I was Jewish. Just because you don't say it or think it doesn't mean others dont. Jews were beaten, killed, held as prisoners, experimented, tortured , while being annihilated by the millions in their country. Africans were killed, enslaved, kidnapped, raped, sold and were being killed in millions by their own country along with others. Yes its the same do you think they were also not persecuted? Do you think their lives were not just as hard because it was in the past?

As someone whose ancestral country was enslaved for 200 years, you can quit with the attempted guilt trip. I'm not saying gay people are the only persecuted group. I'm talking only about gay people because that was the initial topic. You're bringing up a completely different topic. "Some people wish they were black." Well, I'm not talking about Rachel Dolezal right now, I'm talking about fujo who wish they were gay men. If you really want to know what I think on "transracial", as Dolezal puts it, I'll comment by saying it is just as insulting to wish to be black. It is an insult to trans people and people of color. You're bringing up a bunch of irrelevant topics, crying, "But they do it, too!" to make your own comment seem better. It's not working. It's still insulting.
