Did reading BL/GL affect your judgment on the LGBT community in any way? Did any of you start off seemingly prejudiced about the whole idea of gay men adopting a child or getting married, and somehow feels that reading Yaoi changed that?
Sure we all know BL and GL don't equal homosexuality in real life but, in retrospective, do you think that reading this particular genre made you more aware of the whole LGBT community and their legal rights, or even took you to participate actively on its behalf? Or rather, you read BL/GL for the sake of it and take no interest whatsoever on the so-called "homosexual question" (ugh, weird phrasing...) or what goes on in their real world?
Do you feel any kind of cultural conflict, almost as though telling you that what happens in manga should stay in manga?
I'm not too sure if this question will raise that fruitful a debate but, no matter what, I'm looking forward to read your stories

P.S: My interest is purely academic
