"The List" that I mentioned earlier. Here's the link:
http://www.yuricon.org/list/
Note: While some of it is indeed "wishes" (such as the entire cast of Sailor Moon being gay or the You're Under Arrest pair), there are quite of few heavily implied and downright explicit ones they have caught. Evidence for a lot of them are very high even if many of them never expanded beyond crush (Moe has crush on Marin in Brigadoon, Kaorin has a big crush on her Lady in Azumanga Daioh, Lain has a crush on Alice in SE:L, Maya Ibuki has a crush on her boss in Neon Genesis which isn't fully revealed until the end of the last movie, etc.).
Overall, an interesting glance and one which watching the actual shows will make you nod your heads in agreement for many of them (The relationship between Tsubasa's player and Subaru's player in .hack/sign is particularly interesting for us internet types because Tsubasa was a male character who turned out to be a female at the end and Subaru turned out to be confined to a wheelchair, but their love in the game and the strength of what they went through had transcended those petty differences).
I'm still looking for a real yaoi list, but it is fairly common as well especially among CLAMP mangas as Svenska could tell you and pops up unexpetedly sometimes (see Fred Luo in Outlaw Star).
For those who don't give a damn, sorry. For those who do or are slightly curious about an animated world where they don't take sexuality so seriously, I reccomend to check a few of them out through fan subs or rentings. Either that or mug a college kid. About half of them have at least three shows somewhere in their room or on their computer at all times.
P.S. Yes, it was a joke at the end of Bloom County about how much people change and part of it was Steve Dallas outed himself and started going out with Mark from Doonesbury. In the new Opus, he was featured being "retrained for the new moral fiber of America" with deep electric shocks everytime he said something the homophobe next to him interpreted as "gay" or effeminite even if the homophobe had to mishear him in order to do it.

By the way, have they outed the Simpson-character yet? I'm curious to see who it is.

What a wickedly smart and oddly poignant piece. It lampoons, in the most elegant way, the complete idiocy of the nutwads on the right. Cartoons don't have off-screen lives. I guess to the humor-impaired and those who are uncomfortable with their sexuality (which seems to describe the right to a T) these characters would seem suspect. To me, they are just cartoons.
After all, Mr. Dobson, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. -- Cathy Bishop

Salon has performed the Lord's work in exposing the vile sinfulness of the cartoon characters that pollute our tender children with their evil hidden agenda. But you mustn't stop there. How about comic book characters like Batman and Robin? Or Barney Google and Snuffy Smith? To say nothing of Wonder Woman, Brenda Starr and "Dick" Tracy. And while you're at it, isn't it time someone blew the whistle on Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin? Has anyone looked hard at Alice? Or Cinderella? It's no wonder we've been overrun by gays and lesbians. Kids have been proselytized to for generations by these immoral doodles. -- Patrick Blake

I'm very happy that Snagglepuss and Huckleberry Hound have had a long and happy life together. Though I was suprised about Huck, Puss wasn't fooling anyone.
As for the rest, come on! Who wasn't gay at Warner Bros. back in the day? Bugs and Daffy acted like an old married couple (probably because they are). And Yosemite Sam? Please. What was that mustache about?
Finally, I want to tell the world who my first gay role model was, dating back to when I was a wee lad. Not Ernie. Not Bert. Not Big Bird (a true gender-bender predating "SNL's" Pat by decades). No. It was little Grover. Wonderfully campy, bitchy Grover. When he told Kermit, "I'm not strong, but I'm wiry," I knew he was secretly speaking for me as well. -- Gregory Russell

How in the world could you miss Heckle and Jeckle? They're about as queeny as two birds can get. -- Jan Kurth

Don't forget the gayest cartoon of them all: Bugs Bunny. Why do you think Elmer Fudd pursues him so avidly? Sure, Fudd says he wants to kill Bugs, but when he finally does in "What's Opera, Doc?" he is heartbroken. Seems like a classic case of redirected affection to me. -- Jon Campbell

Nah, Bugs wasn't gay. The cross-dressing thing was just an act for him. Donald Duck, on the other hand -- I can't believe you left out Donald Duck!
Also, I wish you'd left out the part about Fred and Scooby. To suggest such a thing is just beastly.
As for SpongeBob and his pal: Their characters are emotionally still children. They're "presexual" -- they're at that stage where boys have other boys as "best friends." Anyone who presumes these characters are having sex has their own set of problems. -- Mark Ingebretsen
