Aoi Hana should probably go here, if my sources do not deceive me.

are you trying to milk free demon stances from every one of these threads

SF_Sorrow

what really gay girl wouldn't like cute high-school girls making rapid-fire jokes and being ambiguously gay

SF_Sorrow

also, Hidamari Sketch, Love Live!, Yuru Yuri, Yuyushiki, Saki, and Keijo!!!!!!!!

Cardcaptor Sakura isn't that THE Gay Girl Anime

Sredni Vashtar

It's pretty gay in a couple of ways.

SF_Sorrow

oh yeah, and fuckin' Flip Flappers

I really have no reason to not start watching that yet

Section42L

No, you don't. :P

I have no reason to not start watching Yuri!!! on Ice yet, either, although that's a gay boy anime.

Aside from Sailor, I don't really see how many of these count as gay, most of the gayness is implied or a very-very-very-subplot

Sredni Vashtar

With Madoka and Sakura it's not even "implied" after a certain point, just there, whereas Utena is more complex but also has several important blatantly queer female (and male) characters regardless of that fact. And Yurikuma, Aoi Hana, Simoun and Flip-Flappers are just... yeah.

notably straight anime Lesbian Bear Storm

Crystal

Floppy Florpers is so super gay, and has a lot of subtext-based queerness but also some pretty blatant and explicit literal declarations of love, for example.

Crystal

Sorry. I mean Flip Flurpers.

Fossilmaiden

Aoi Hana is literally flat out yuri, that's the entire plot.

It's a.k.a. Sweet Blue Flowers, right?

As opposed to Ano Hana.

Only one I take issue with would be Keijo Eight Exclamation Marks. It has a canonical lesbian, but her representation isn't near good enough to fit on this list without caveats, which I'd say is important enough. I mean, Flop Flops also requires one small - if still large due to how potentially off-putting it can be - caveat in the gropey robot easily being a turn-off (no less when it's present so early), but that's less to do with representation than it does plain silliness on part of the writers.

Yah. It's by Takako Shimura, the mangaka behind Hourou Musuko and a bunch of other LGBT stuff.

SF_Sorrow

^^ it still involves girls in swimsuits hitting each other with their breasts and butts also the inclusion was half-serious

Crystal

Granted.
