A Crash Course in Yaoi

I happened across a really interesting article about yaoi recently and since HFG has featured a lot of yaoi artwork, I thought I'd mention it here.

"Yaoi For Parents, A Crash Course in Boys' Love" is a three-part series by Shaenon K. Garrity on Graphic Novel Review that is a great introduction for anyone that's unfamiliar with it.  Even if you're a fan, it's still an interesting read.  My favorite part of the series is probably the first part, which gives a nice history of yaoi's origins. 

Each part is kind of long but the read is well worth your time.  Check out the links below to read the series:

Part One: The History of Yaoi
Part Two: Why Yaoi?
Part Three: Reading Yaoi
