I personally don't know what the big deal is, who cares if they're gay (or insinuated) or not. The connotation alone can attract anyone to see it just because it's talked about in such a way.

I think some people just get weirded out, but truthfully yaoi and shounen-ai, are no different than regular anime, especially with shounen-ai, there is no actual kissing or sex between the male characters. Most anime I have seen is the same way even if the male and female character like each other. Most of the other times all you see is a breast or two but no sex or kissing which is the same with shounen-ai. Yaoi has straight up sex scenes and 50% of the times it is slightly edited, but many times yaoi manga gets converted into shounen-ai anime so that both males and females can watch it.
