Fine, be absolutely sure. I'm absolute sure too. :) My friends and I talked about this a lot amongst ourselves. We were all perceiving this.  Raph trips gaydar more strongly than Mikey ever tripped bidar.

Don't get me wrong. I'm totally willing to like 2K12 Mona Lisa if she's a good, solid character and is not just some vapid one-dimensional love interest like 2K12 Renet. But with so much of the show being gradually retooled, I won't be happy if the writers make significant changes to Raph's personality just to duplicate an old romance from an older series that had very different characters. So many other versions of Raphael already have had girlfriends, and I like the more unique way 2K12 Raph developed. There's never been a TMNT character quite like him, and watering down his personality would take away some of that which makes him so special.
