I have always been open abt my reasons to watch bls. I'm a straight grown up woman, who years ago watched LGBTQ+ movies. Then got tired with the sad stories and found bls which are my happy place. I prefer happy endings which I usually get in bls, rarely in LGBTQ+ cinema. So for example all those sad and mean coming out to parents stories don't interest me at all. That's just how it is. I watch bl for entertainment.
