Okay... so...
I guess in every other show you watch, you're bound to like a lot of couples. And sometimes, these couples might not be straight. This might just have happened because a lot of my friends are guys and they've rubbed off on me, but I don't know.
Now, a lot of girls in my school tend to like yaoi (boy/boy, for those who don't know). And me, well... I mean, I like yaoi a little bit. I've got some yaoi ships I support, but not as many as some of my friends.
The truth is, I've always been a major yuri (girl/girl) fan. And, well... that makes me feel kind of weird. A lot of my guy friends know I like yuri, but very few of my girl friends know.
I don't want to tell them, but some of them got on my computer the other day and read some of my stories. Now they seem really freaked out and treat me really weird, like they think I'm gay or something (which I'm NOT, the whole thing with Lisa was Ash's idea of a joke....). Some of them have even tried harder to convert me to yaoi.
I just... I feel like something's wrong with me now. What should I do?

Your friends treat you differently because of that? Wow.
If they treat you differently because you support something else, can you even call them your friends? Really, friends aren't supposed to treat you differently because of what you like or believe in. If they were supposed to treat you differently, I would have lost all my friends now because I don't believe in any form of God.
Cause really, true friends support their friends, no matter what they believe in, like or do. I'm not trying to sound harsh, but it's the truth.

Ash has a pooint, Ari. Seriously, if they treat you differently just because you like gay ships, they're not your friends. Now, I'm not saying they have to LIKE the fact you like gay ships, but I'm saying that they have to accept it and move on.

First of all, nothing is wrong with you. Don't blame yourself for your interests.
And second, if your friends are acting weird around you, then it must be because they're a bit weirded out. I mean, they just found out. Not trying to sound rude or anything, but who wouldn't be surprised to hear something they wouldn't expect? But if they really think beyond that and find you even weirder with your likeness of yuri, then (like Ash said) they're not really your friends. Treating you oddly is minor, but teasing can be the next level. If that ever happens, don't let the chance slide by of letting them get to you.
Friends don't have the power to convince that you should like something else; only you can. So if you don't want to convert into a different liking, then don't. It's simple. Ignore the fact that they might be thinking of you as gay; that means they don't know you. Why not confront them, you know? Make them understand that you're not bizarre.

I agree, you are in control in your life, make it best as possblie, thinking of every right decision and go for it. Knowledge is power. I support either way, i try to help my friends as best i can. So don't feel werid. Be yourself and you will be fine, and your friends will accpect for who you are.

OOOH OOOH I KNOW! Don't feel like a freak XD But seriously, don't take i too hard. One time I sent a link to one of my TLK pictures on deviantart to a few of my friends, and one of them looked at my whole gallery seeing all my AD:JL obsessiveness XD. She teased my about liking kid cartoons for like a week and then forgot about it and let it pass (lame story XP). It'll probably pass with your friends too, just give it some time.

Look. Liking yuri pairings is normal. And don't let people judge you for that. be who you are. Real friends will love that in you and cherish you more for it.

If they treat you diferent'y just because of that, then they are weird... no I kidding, they aren't really your friends then. Friends shouldn't care for what a friends thinks about something, they can disagree, but they shouldn't treat someone differenty, thats all I can say! Have Fun!
