I really wonder why one should bother to type 'yaoi' up the top, when
female-female relationships don't even get a bat of an eyelid, let alone
a seperate heading.

Maybe you should have a [lesbian] heading, too?
I tend to agree.  Both, or neither.  Frankly, I don't care if it's yaoi,

It's rather silly to only have a qualification on one thing like that...
if it offends people, why shouldn't all offensive material have a special
header? But that, I think, it getting rather carried away.

Lemon is lemon, even if it's girl-boy, girl-girl or boy-boy.

or lesbian, or lemon, all i care about is if it's written well.

*nod*

It's really rather silly to quantify something _that_ much, especially
when the people writing the gay 'fics that I've seen have all had a
FEMALE Ranma with a guy!
Um...  how is that gay?

Because Ranma thinks of himself as a male, and has spent at least 16 years
of his life as a male. It's gay because Ranma's body, to him, is just
something he 'wears', and it doesn't change his personality or his psyche
or anything else - the only thing it changes is his appearance (and his
speed, etc). It's purely physical.

It's kind of like dressing up as a bull and having sex with a cow - you
are not a bull, even if your outfit is realistic down to the last detail.
You are still you. Therefore it would be beastiality. It's the inside that
counts, not the appearance.

Kun-chan...
