Ha! XD Butt hurt male gundam fans have plenty of other series to watch that have pretty much zero shonen ai/yaoi hints. Take Gundam 00 for example - my second favorite in the gundam enterprise: If you're slashing Setsuna and Allelujah...you're trying too hard. Srsly.
You actually have a huge point. GW was my gateway drug for both more mainstream/domestic anime, (Eva, Cowboy Bebop, Rurouni Kenshin, in that order exactly for me), and more shonen ai/yaoi series like Junjou Romantica and KKM. Plus, I'm always shocked when someone tells me they haven't seen one of "the classics". Guess I just never thought GW was among them. XD These days, Funimation dubs a new anime a day it seems, and only a few of them actually take hold. I've even adopted more of a "wait and see if this catches on, then watch it" style of anime selection, myself.
Plus, what's up with all these newer neverending monstermorph series that just won't die?! I'm looking at you, Fairy Tail! Aaaaanyway... /end rant
Fun little story I just decided I have to tell: I actually first got into GW because my friends were equally divided on the question of Quatre's sexuality and needed me to be the tiebreaker vote. (I kid you not.) Two full episodes later, I returned with my opinion.
Some 13 years later at Anime Central, (couple of weeks ago now), someone posed the same question to the voice of Quatre himself, Brad Swaile. Without thought, I whipped around in my seat and yelled, "Of course he is!" #GWyaoifangirlFTW! XD
