I suppose you mean the time when he says "Get your hands off him! Toya is mine!" That line does not imply that the two are an item... I feel it is common to the flamboyant stereotype to claim friends as posessions, especially ones they admire.

Look at Snakes on a Plane, for example. There's an extremely flamboyant character on the film... which appears to hit on other guys, but ends up having a girlfriend. Not that the girlfriend guarantees that he's hetero, either.

Anywho, for further verification that "Toya" is not dating "Makoto," Wikipedia cites:

Also, to clarify: I believe Makoto is gay. However, I also feel there's a possibility that the game is leaving just enough pieces of the puzzle out so that it may prey on stereotypes and try making its gamers feel guilty by "revealing" at the end that the character is actually hetero, yet flamboyant.
