Yes, there was a murder-suicide, but even death is more understood and "accepted" in a way than homosexuality. Death is pretty much a major and generally unopposed aspect of today's media. Homosexuality, however, would cause far more controversy than the bad guys dying.

Unless you haven't been following recent politics, the whole "gay tolerance" issue is exploding everywhere. Gay supporters attack pretty much everyone who openly supports traditional marriage, and many firm believers in heterosexuality attack the LGBT community and its supporters. The tension is so high, any sort of homosexual notion from LoK would just drag Nickelodeon into the fight, which is, I'm sure, the last thing they want. I say it's as unlikely as Pabu and Hiroshi getting together, at least within the next decade or however long it takes, until the politicians have found some other major issue to fight over and homosexuality becomes a generally tolerated and relatively accepted part of our culture.
