Love and relationship are the most common. These stories often explore how two male characters fall in love, face challenges in their relationship like social acceptance or family opposition. For example, in 'Given', the characters have to deal with the loss of a loved one while also navigating their new - found feelings for each other.
One characteristic is the exploration of emotions. In a good BL anime story, they don't just jump into a relationship. Instead, they show how the characters gradually realize their feelings, from confusion to acceptance. Another aspect is the setting. A unique or interesting setting, like a historical period or a special school, can add depth to the story. Moreover, the chemistry between the characters is crucial. It should be palpable and make the audience root for their relationship.
I heard a story about two young gay men in a college theater group. During a rehearsal for a play, they had a scene where they had to hold hands. At first, it was just part of the act, but there was a certain electricity between them. After the rehearsal, they stayed back to talk about their experiences in the theater and their dreams. Over time, they supported each other through all the challenges in college and in the theater world, and their relationship grew deeper.
It varies. Some gay people might enjoy BL manga as a form of representation and entertainment, while others might not have a particular interest or might have mixed feelings depending on the portrayal.
Well, my first gay moment was when I realized I had a special feeling for my male best friend. One day, when he smiled at me in a really warm way, I felt my heart skip a beat. It was a strange yet exciting feeling that made me start to question my own sexuality.

A memorable gay moment story is of two men at a Pride parade. One was carrying a really big rainbow flag and accidentally hit the other with it. They both laughed, and then started talking about how important Pride was to them. They walked together for the rest of the parade, sharing their coming - out stories and how they had overcome difficulties in their lives.
At a gay pride event, a guy's rainbow flag got caught on someone else's heel and it was dragged along for a bit before he noticed. He was really embarrassed as he was trying to look his best for the event.
At a gay sleepover, during True or Dare, a dare was to do a blindfolded taste test of some really strange food combinations. It was hilarious. For the true questions, we shared our first crushes which were quite innocent stories. It was all about having a good laugh and sharing stories in a friendly way.
