Romance vs. BL/GL vs LGBT romance
That was a very tricky question for me when I started my webcomic
It actually has different characters with other sexes and sexual orientation, including gay, hetero and trans characters.
The trick is that comics started with gay couple. And this couple is the most widespread at the moment. That made people think my comics is BL. I didn't really contemplate that as a proper genre because of the other couples but still added "BL" to hastags just in case. But not to genre.
I don't believe BL genre is something poor, I honsetly enjoy it. But I personally can't stand the cliches many BL comics are filled with. The main is something like "Here we possess blond and brunette main heroes, they hate each other, but then one of them saves another's life, they sleep together and fall in love forever". Possibly that's the thing that disgusts many other people too, but the genre itself isn't bad. There are some thick and strong stories too
Then there was hope to have two genres for a comics, so I was really happy because I could use both Relationship and LGBT genre
