I enjoy watching anime but it seems like a lot of anime has homosexual undertones to it. Not that I have a problem with homosexuality I just find that like a lot of anime has this subtext in it. Am I just crazy?

you think those ones are bad, then don't even touch on X tv, or anything CLAMP-related
while I must admit that their more "mature" titles are, story-wise, very good, the relationships border (or can even be considered) illegal sometimes, or at least socially reprehensible.
something like f-f or m-m relationships or even f-f-m or whatever weird combos you can slap there, or teacher-student relationships or diferent ages and so.
but that's rarely seen besides CLAMP stuff tbh.
in many series, there is a sense of fraternal "love" in the sense that, cultural-wise, best friends can be considered brothers.
point in case, Code Geass.

It's a bit a a broad generalization - lots of anime deals with relationships and some of those may be or imply same sex attraction; lots of anime doesn't have this at all though. You could ask the same question about Hollywood movies - have you seen Top Gun, for instance?

What's CLAMP? I can't work tentacles into that acronym, but I have a feeling it belongs there.

A studio/production team, I think. Not an acronym.
Strangely enough, the only gay content in anime I've ever seen was satiring gay content in anime/manga.

CLAMP, isa group of artists, all female that create mangas and animes together... they created Card Captor Sakura, X, XXXHolic and some other relatively well-known shows.
just like guys sometimes have a penchant for girl-on-girl, girls sometimes also have a fascination with guy-on-guy... and just like guys, they think it's more romantic than it probably is ;)
you don't see girls swooning over the blue oyster bar from police academy, for instance.
so yeah... i suppose it's possible that they're trying to attract more girls to watch anime by adding pretty gay guys... and attract guys by adding pretty gay girls. *shrugs*
.. hmm.. wonder if 'gay' will be filtered...

Alot of "macho" behavior is just based on homophobia.
You'll find in some cultures, you can put your arm around another guy without anybody thinking it's gay.
In Western culture being gay is a choice.
In some cultures being gay is...not really taboo, but more of a pointless choice as it doesn't produce children, and in that culture producing children is considered the only reason for living, so even if you have feelings for someone of the same sex, it's really considered pointless to engage in anything with that person.
Love is really a western concept.
Half my family is Asiatic, if I tell them I "fell in love" with someone they really don't understand, they're like "love wtf" they think I should get married because "it's time to have kids."
The concept that I might actually enjoy being around a person for its own sake is like saying "I rubbed applesauce all over myself and my thighs felt squishy." They just don't understand it.
For that reason being gay is not considered "taboo" but more of a "why the hell would you do that?" kind of thing.
Thats why you can put your arm around another guy and nobody thinks it's gay, because gay is considered pointless and everybody is assumed to be rational.

Bisexual women were/are trendy ..but being gay isnt ^^
I do know that , especially on the internet with all the masculine nerds, bashing gays and saying "Thats so ****ing G.a.y!!" really makes you a cool guy, loved and so special ^^

The Japanese view of sexual relationships are very diffrent then western culture and it reflects in their entertainment. If you have the means take a Japanese history course or do some research recomended by a professor.

I actually really enjoyed X and I don't remember it being that gay, but then it's been a long ass time since I watched it so my memory's pretty fuzzy.
(Man they had the coolest swords in that though)

homosexual might be a too strong word, but there is something between the protagonist and the two siblings, probably brotherly love between both Kamui and Fuma(? think it's his name), and Kotori, Fuma's sister.
one can say that there might be a love triangle there, and it's not both male characters for the same female.
but then again, it's CLAMP, so we're used to it already
btw, CLAMP

Id say their relationship was definitely sibling + adopted sibling. At least in the TV show, Kamui saved Kotori when they were younger after both had climbed into a tree. I didnt care for the ending of that anime though, felt like the creators realized they wrote themselves into a corner and took the crap way out.

well, both the movie and the series had a diferent ending.
in one, Fuma dies, plus everyone else except Kamui, and in the other Kamui dies, plus everyone, except Kamui.
it is also interesting to see that there is some romantic interest from this soldier guy that belongs to the Dragons of Earth and a schoolgirl that belongs to the Dragons of Heaven.
somewhat of a 24-year guy and a 16-year girl falling in love (or was she younger and/or him older?)

Yeah, I remember being very underwhelmed by the ending. Seemed like such a cop-out.
My girlfriend liked it though, so I guess I'm missing something.

How dare you suggest Top Gun is homosexual!
