I'm going to say as much as I love Suzaku/Lelouch, in no way do I expect this series to do anything more than occasionally offer some fangirl fodder with dialogue choices and expressions. Shounen series just don't much shonen ai, though there have been exceptions such as with Zabuza/Haku from Naruto. As for the yuri, I wouldn't mind it if it was done in a less disturbing way. It always seems non-sequitor within the rest of the scenes. Nina's crush itself is fine. I just wish it didn't have to come across as fanboy pandering.
Maybe Lelouch tends to ally himself with females because the guys he knows are kind of idiots half of the time. I love Suzaku terribly, but it's true when it comes to the Zero/Suzaku/Britannia situation. And there really is nothing you can say in Rivalz' defense. Lelouch just likes girls who can top him because he's a mega-pimp who likes to kick your ass with girls. It hurts more that way. I'd much rather have him mixing it up with two girls who fight for him (we'll give Shirley an honorary mention here) than two vapid bombshells who just want his sex like in most series. Seriously, almost every girl Lelouch knows, with the exception of Nina, could probably kick his ass.
