Is there a polite way to refer to it?
One of those guys who talk like Haurchefant brought it up.
I haven't really thought about it before.

[ Oh god, it's worse than she thought. ]

The... act? Or
I mean
"yaoi" usually refers to porn.

Just the porn?
Wait no. Not worrying about that.
Just the relationship.
I just know gay but not even sure if that really counts.

[ Thank God for small favors, anyway. ]

Ok well it depends a lot on where/when someone is from. In Haurchefant's era "lovers" is probably okay. Technically that means you're having sex, like "lovers in the night" but all this terminology is pretty vague and unspecific by design. "Gay" means "happy" in a lot of places/times but it's pretty pc where/when I'm from

that's "politically correct", or polite

So you could say you're lovers, or together, or gay together depending. Boyfriends is usually fine. Or you could just say that you're gay, as in "I'm gay" not "we're gay"...

Maybe I should just write up like a reference or something there's a lot of terminology and a lot of it is probably specific to my world/time.
