Oh sweetie, you're really displaying your ignorance here. You're very likely under 20, so of course you know nothing about anything prior to 2000; since you're apparently incapable of looking anything up, VNs were very male dominated, for many, many years. They were nearly always eroge or hentai (again... targeted at straight men) and the very few that existed for women were few and far between, weren't hentai, (they were actual otome... GxB) and weren't translated into English.
Again, if you bothered to look anything up (absolutely no excuse, since the internet is at your finger tips), yuri was always targeted at straight men, and yoai was always targeted at straight women (I don't even read yoai, honey). It's the whole "girl-on-girl is hot" thing for men, with yoai being the equivalent for straight women. People like what they like; let's not pretend other groups don't fetishize things either, so kindly get over yourself.
Nothing stops anyone from reading whatever they want of course, but the fact is, VNs never had anything to do with "queer" people originally. Furthermore, the word(s) you're looking for is/are homosexual/bisexual, kiddo; people of those sexualities don't tend to appreciate the word "queer," given the negative connotation it carries.
One last thing... best believe I'm going to talk on a topic when someone is spewing misinformation on said topic and calling it "facts."
