Never watched that show when I was a kid...But I think the idea that they're a gay couple stems from Matt Groening's use of two fez-wearing Charlie Brown parodies to represent a gay couple in one of his cartoon strips. People talked about that, and the identity of the childhood icon being parodied got confused somewhere along the way. Just my theory.
