On January 27, 2020, the webcomic platform Tapas (formally Tapastic) added two new genre tags, LGBTQ+ and GL. GL is a common acronym for Girls’ Love, a marketing term for Yuri created as a companion to Boys’ Love (BL). Tapas said that they introduced the genres to “better support more diversity in storytelling as well as to help with reader navigation.” The new tags are active on both the Tapas app and the website.

Creators can select the LGBTQ+ and GL tags when they upload webcomics to the platform. Additionally, the info for existing series can be edited by their creators to use the new genre tags.

Tapas also announced that the new genres would be featured in banners and promotions to help bring more awareness to the new genres and promote the creators celebrating such stories. Creators can fill out their genre feature survey for either the LGBTQ+ tag or the GL tag to submit their work for promotion.

Tapas is available online and as an app for both IOS and Andriod devices.
