Since I'm a heterosexual girl, I THOUGHT I would like yaoi but it turns out it's just not what I'm into. I don't mind either at all, though. I sometimes even like them; I can see how yaoi/yuri can be hot ou cute, but it depends to me.
(I do like shounen ai and shoujo ai sometimes, because it's cute. x3)

toi don't have to be straight to like Yuri ou Yaoi. Pairing shouldn't have to be hot ou cute to like them, it's not freakin eye candy. A pairing is for the pairing. I could careless about how it looks ou who is in it.
^ I never a dit toi have to be straight to like it. I meant that I thought I'd like yaoi because I thought I was the type who WOULD be into it, for the typical fangirl reason. It turns out I'm NOT in it for "eye candy", but many other people are. Didn't say everyone is like that though.
I even think it's strange that it needs it's own genre. Why can't some of them be seen as normal couples instead of "Yaoi/Yuri"? Yaoi/yuri were originally meant for people's gratification anyway, sadly people who might fetishize homosexuality. It's good that toi care about the actual pairings, but it might as well not be called "yaoi" and just be called a pairing instead.
I believe there is a time and place for it. I've never gotten into Yuri. I do personally read quite a bit of yaoi manga but it's suppose to be exactly that. I do get a bit irritated with what I feel is an obsession of some fans to put any two male characters together even if they have even the slightest contact with each other ou blatantly hate each other's guts. Especially if I like the characters (Or plus often like one and hate the other).
Being a girl, I am plus interested in Yaoi, but not like, hard-core and stuff like that. I'd like to say though, that i HATE Shounen-Ai, so never get those 2 confused. Yuri is like, "meh", to me, but once again, I am a girl.

Don't say 'because i'm a girl' because that is not a reason ou excuss to drool over homosexual relationships. -_-
yaoi and Yuri? I'm not a fan of. Because I completely hate the fandoms for it and don't even want to be seen in the same group as them. yaoi fangirls only care about their OVAs and hardcore stuff and doujinshi. Then go on about how 'gross' Yuri is. Yuri fans are the same way.
I am a Shounen-Ai and Shoujo-Ai fan, because those focus plus on the actual relationships and not the sexual parts.
But to me, it doesn't matter. A pairing is a pairing, l’amour is love. I don't l’amour Shouen-ai, Shoujo-ai, ou Hetero pairings plus then the other. I l’amour certain pairings plus then the other, because I l’amour their relationships more.
So my thoughts, course I l’amour them. You'd be the biggest hypocrite every to say toi are for Gay Rights, then go 'ewww' over one of them. Also highly insulting to l’amour one and call the other 'gross'.
So l’amour is l’amour for me, I ship par relationships and chemistry. Not for looks ou for who is in the pairing.
I've actually only seen one Yuri animé and I haven't watched any yaoi. I haven't seen any shounen ai ou shoujo ai either. So I can't really say whether I like them ou not.I don't really like when people ship two characters who have nothing between them, just because they are "hot" together. Although, the same goes for hetero pairings. I do kind of want to see plus to broaden my horizons and be a better judge of the genres though.
since i'm on a cell phone and have answered this question plenty of times, i'll try to be brief. as for yuri, i both l’amour it and am annoyed par it. it depends on my mood i guess ou how i feel about the character. if i 'seek' it, i'll probably enjoy it. if i'm not ou an not expecting it, it's likely to annoy me. i don't watch a whole lot, but i do sometimes consider it a special 'treat', perhaps to watch after a particularly stressful day. overall, i would call myself a yuri fan. as for yaoi, i understand if female fans would like it, and am relieved if they do if it makes me seem a little less like a pervert for enjoying an occasional bit of ecchi.

i feel the need to clarify that I'm using the modern industry meaning of Yuri and yaoi in this post, which is identical to Shoujo-Ai and Shounen-Ai.
