In a spoilerific post about Stellvia, Pete says:
Time after time, if yuri comes around in anime, it’s accompanied by depravity, as if all creators are soft bigots.
There's some truth to that. It's not invariant, but it does happen.
Yashima, in Hanaukyo Maid Team: La Verite, is a quite admirable character. I really liked her a lot, especially when she fought against the big-bad's chief minion twice at the end in order to protect Taro.
Ikki Tousen contains a fair amount of yuri, some different than others. There's a lesbian in the first series who is a victim. On the other hand, in one of the later series, Kan'u becomes dark-Kan'u for a while. (Ooh! Ooh!)
What, exactly, you think of Tomoyo in Card Captor Sakura is something you have to decide. Some people really like her; some find her creepy as hell. I tend towards the "like" side, mainly because Tomoyo's love is not selfish. But there's no doubt that her feelings for Sakura are... not quite normal.
And then there's Simoun, where all the major characters are lesbian, in a sense. (I haven't seen it.)

I'm a Ryomou fan, myself. Sigh. An amazing proportion of the girls I like in anime are yuri. That probably means something, but I choose not to think about it too much.
