You know, I would't recommend anime in the first place, hell, they don't even portray STRAIGHT couples realistically, much less gay (yaoi AND yuri).
To be honest, stop worrying what if it offends them or not, it's fiction anyway and if they get their panties in a knot over it, then they're too uptight.
I would join the camp for Gankutsuou, it has a good strong gay subtext (although one of the characters is pretty much gay although he didn't come out and say it).
And show X, although I think the issue of homosexuality isn't really that outlandish since CLAMP rather have are they or aren't they with Kamui and Fuuma (Seishirou and Subaru, on the other hand... well...).
Utena is another good choice although most of the yuri subtext is pretty weak in the TV series but pretty canon in the movie (but DO NOT show the movie without showing the TV series first because they will be 'WTF'ing at it all through.
Marimite is another subtext show but the canon gay (Sei and Kashiwagi) aren't the main characters although Sei does get her time to shine in a few episodes in the first (or second?) episodes. Plus, as much as people like it, it's treatment of lesbianism no more realistic than say an average yaoi title.
And shit, does anyone knows where I can download Yukikaze because I can't download torrents right now. Fuck. I wanna see it. ;_;
