There are mainstream gay animes.
There's a few airing right now - isn't that swim club about gay characters?
Antique Bakery's about as gay as it gets without sex... plenty of gay-male mangas coming out of japan... I should probably go get some names but I'm not the current expert.
As I said in the last thread on the same topic, there aren't any as popular as naruto - but asking for that is wondering why there's no gay series as popular as Game of Thrones or the Avengers movie. They're some of the hottest products right now, comparing to them is always going to lead to disapointment.
As for full LGBT characters, I think there's plenty of traps in anime which the japanese consider much the same thing in their culture of cross-dressing. The whole 'its okay - when I'm wearing a skirt, I'm a girl' angle isn't quite as we see it in the west but give it time.
