Homophobia in criticism of BF and B&R

Let me preface this by disclaiming that I in no way believe Batman Forever and Batman & Robin to be good films or that they in any way reflect the "true" character of the Baman mythology. Undoubtedly they are ass. However I have become increasingly frustrated by the homophobia innate in many people's criticism of Shumacher and his films and believe that such comments indicate a juvenile bigotry towards the director's sexuality.
I acquire read many suspect posts on this forum, mostly the perceived notion that the films' shortcomings are due to them creature directed by a homosexual man, as if a gay director equals a gay batman! I trust that Shumacher's sexuality is conveniently scapegoated as a reason people dislike his approach to Batman, and that the O.T.T theatrical production design of the movies is associated with him being gay by fans.
I challenge that there is anything gay about BF and B&R at all and I'll argue the points made by many fans time and again:

With Penguin & Riddler, Gotham Gave Us DC's Finest Gay Relationship
I can't be bought, but I can be stolen with a glance. I'm worthless to one, but priceless to two. It’s a story for the ages… Penguin and Riddler in love.
Gotham has made a label for itself as the one show you can count on to complete the things no other series would think to do. Sometimes this involves turning Jim Gordon into a cold-blooded killer, and sometimes it involves the Penguin and Riddler becoming romantically entwined.

What many of us had believed was true since the first season of Gotham, when Edward Nygma rescued Penguin and nursed him advocate to health, was eventually confirmed when the reveal had Penguin admit that he openly loves the Riddler. It’s not reciprocated, at last verbally, but this is Gotham, and there are no glad relationships here. But still, Gotham went and said that Penguin is actually, full-on in love with the Riddler.
So, yes, Penguin is in love with Riddler, though the latter is a bit less than reciprocal. Okay, okay, Ed actively tries to kill Oswald, but that’s only because the Penguin killed the woman Ed himself love
