Until HBP, Lupin didn't strike me as much of anything. He read to me as the sort of reserved character where he could have been into anything from kinky!sex, to having a wife with 10 kids stashed around somewhere, to being a 40 yr old virgin. Whatever he was into, no one but he and the person(s) he was involved with would know about it.
IMO, the Remus is gayer than a tree full of monkeys on a sugar high thing is meant as a facetious joke amongst slashers. That's how I've always read the, "S/he's so gay it's obvious," jokes. I take it in the same light as jokes about how the subtext is so obvious it's canon. At least, I hope that it's basically an old inside joke that's become so overused even outsiders know the punchline. Though sometimes I wonder.
