This isn't a deep post. just an off topic tangent from this discussion.
So, ones I can think of off the top of my head (my brain has of course gone blank):
It doesn't have to be the main characters, my point was that sometimes in anime (unlike mainstream western tv) you can think "Those two have such good chemistry, wouldn't it be great if they got together!" and they do.
EDIT: Obviously I'm not the best judge of this myself but the aim is stories one can enjoy as representations of queerness not unrealistic yaoi etc, and relatively mainstream anime that a typical sff geek might easily encounter and enjoy.
There's also lots where the subtext never quite becomes text but isn't actively contradicted either, like (as I recall) "Read or Die".
So, ones I can think of off the top of my head (my brain has of course gone blank):
- Revolutionary Girl Utena
- Card Captor Sakura
- Sailor Moon? (I haven't seen it)
- Check the comments for many more!
