I really don't get why anyone would ask that at all. I mean, do they mean in a metatextual sense, as in "have the writers been deliberately writing Dean in a way that more plausibly suggests that he might have homosexual inclinations?" to which I'd still not really get it because I don't see that being the case at all.
Dean's closest relationships have been with male characters, but when hasn't that been the case? The closest people to Dean are Sam, John, Castiel, and Bobby. I would have included Lisa and Ben on that at one point, but only for a few episodes in S6. And I guess now they're pushing the "Dean and Benny are BFFs" thing pretty hard, so for now Benny can be added to that list, but even if Dean's primary relationships are with men it doesn't mean that those relationships are sexualized. And wouldn't that have to be the case if Dean were really somehow becoming "more gay"?
Re: Is Dean becoming "gayer"?
Ha, brain twins. :D

Seriously, it's just such a weird question.
