I agree with you on that interpretation, particularly given the other "hints" that are there.

But even if that were the case I'd rather not see it be about him crushing on his best friend, but just having a gay character in the cast and not making a big deal or a joke out of it.

It would indeed be a good thing to have a gay character in an anime cast, and him not being a total stereotype and/or joke character.
