Whether you like or dislike yaoi or slash really has nothing to do with your opinion of RL homosexuality, though your opinion of RL homosexuality can influence your approach to it in fiction. For that matter, I don't think canon and fanon slash even have anything to do with each other. One is responding to an actual relationship, the other is choosing to focus on two males at the expense of a female, more often than not.

I spent years under the impression that I was essentially a weirdo in terms of being an anime and manga fan because I was the only female I knew who didn't slash, and actually even liked most of the female characters. In truth, I can read something if I don't like the guys, but not if I don't like the girls.

What I've found for me, though, is that even if I'm fascinated by a dynamic between two male characters, whether they're a canon or fanon pairing, I can't really do any shipping unless there's a female involved (for example, I can get behind Doumeki/Watanuki/Himawari in xxxHolic but if Himawari isn't there shipping them while Watanuki showers her with adoration, they don't hold me beyond "nice boys," no matter how fond of them I am.) I seem to need an equal or near equal number of female characters involved to care about fictional males in terms of sex and romance.
