Yaoi (やおい), also known as Boys' Love (BL ビーエル, bīeru), is a Japanese genre of fictional media focusing on relationships between male characters⚣. Originally, it was aimed at a female audience and was usually created by female authors but has since then influenced many authors and reached out towards other audiences.
Shōnen-ai (also spelt shounen ai) is also closely related to yaoi with the exception of a few minor differences, although both genres are Boy's Love (BL). Shōnen-ai focuses on the emotional and romantic side of a relationship more so than the physical relationship comparatively speaking.
Bara (薔薇, "rose") materials are created primarily by men who identify as gay and for the same audience. For the visual style typically, characters will be more muscular. Plotlines may relate to what homosexual men experience whereas the previous two relate to what woman may like.

As with most areas whilst series are largely tailored to specific audiences for marketing purposes, it would be remiss to not engage with materials since they supposedly fell outside a set of guidelines established by others.
