The whole debate over BL as it's own tag is just another reason why sub categories would be a better idea. It's all romance but it's BL or GL or Het or LGBT or just non defined. The idea was likely that BL is very popular and tends to have its own very rigid tropes and stories that it follows. Only that's not really true anymore (it never really was if you look at the history) but the ones you saw early on all have the same rigid tropes. These days there's debate over whether BL is just gay romance or if it has to adhere to these tropes.

Of course, there's the tags but not everyone knows if they work or how well they work and that would require tagging all the different versions of GL people could think of to make sure its tagged for everyone to find. Or people can start putting GL in their icons like they do BL but none of these are really ideal solutions.
