but I have a problem with the "straight is the norm" rule. Straight is the norm is not a rule, its a fact (when you take norm as simply meaning "what the majority of people are").

As far as it being a rule thats applied to shows; I don't think it even exists anymore. Every second sitcom/TV drama has at least 1 gay character or couple these days, I don't see why anime would be an exception.
