ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Gay romance

When we're born, we're not born with the knowledge of who we might love in the future – boys might grow up to love girls and vice versa. But some boys and girls might grow up to love other boys or girls, and that's okay too. This is called being gay.

Just like how a boy might like a girl and they might have romantic feelings for each other, two boys or two girls might like each other in the same way. This is called gay romance.

It might not look exactly the same as straight romance, but it's still all about love and caring for one another. Just like how a boy might bring flowers for a girl he likes, another boy might bring flowers for his boyfriend too.

What's important to remember is that everyone deserves to love whoever they want, no matter their gender. Love is a beautiful thing and it should be celebrated in all its forms.
