Interpretation once again.

Not on its own no.

I never said the pederastry was encouraged by Naruto, he allows it in order to be trained.

He's not a whore man.

See, this is why you need structure, what are you referring to?

Thinking that Sasuke feels a similar social pressure is also foolish and Sasuke wants to “re-build his clan,” somewhat difficult when one is homosexual.

Nice slap of projection there, and Sasuke has never explicitly stated what he means by that. Clans can be rebuilt in other ways.

That technique was another source of humour, which was used against Gaara only because Naruto assumed “he’d be weaker at the bottom.” Strategy is key.

Subtext and lack of humour.

But the defining factor of homosexuality is actually DOING of the acts... being naked with another man is not homosexual until sexual activity begins.

Subtext.

That's a valid alternative interpretation, but it still doesn't disprove others.
(Not considering the conclusion as it just reiterates the last points.)

For most people sexuality isn't decided at birth.

I typed my post in word, are you sure you know how to use it?

Because unlike Naruto there isn't sufficient subtext and evidence for most of those characters to really suggest it.
