I guess being into BL was my way of exploring my sexuality for years without really noticing I was doing it. I had a very late “gay awakening” (at 21), which also helped me open up in terms of sexual acceptance, but it didn’t really impact the way I kept enjoying fandom as a whole. I don’t know, BL is such an integral part of my fandom experience, which in time is also such an integral part of my life, I can’t really discern what had more effect on each one.
