Just go to myanimelist.net and look for the genre "shoujo ai" and "shounen ai" (literal translations are girl love and boy love, respectively). There's lots, not that many good ones that I know of though. Best out of the most recent ones Ive watched is Sakura Trick.
There's a lot more written gay material than animated. If you'd also like comics, manga, then doujin-scans has a lot of GL and yuri. Just stay clear of nsfw tags and nudity tags or, well, the tags are self-explanatory.
A great one I've been reading lately is Murcielago.
U should definitely watch #yuruyuri it's the newest upcoming adorable yuri anime.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
