So I've noticed that in most BL, when there are side characters (friends/relatives/etc.), they are usually a) not important, b) female, or c) gay (often with their own subplot romance). Aren't there any gay men with straight male friends and relatives? Come on.
Some examples I can think of off the top of my head: Gravitation with Hiro, Unmei ni Kiss with Takagishi, Hanakisou with the birds, some of Yamashita Tomoko's stuff. Anyone have any more examples of BL with straight males that are actually important?

Would Princess Princess count? XD
(Actually most of Zaou Taishi's works have pretty important characters who aren't themselves gay... usually the classmates/best friends who get tired of waiting for the main couple to get a move on lol)
