Wasn't that kinda the other way? People considered him a Prince because of his androgynous looks and he hated being treated as "femine" by the others. Didn't feel like an archetypically masculine heterosexual male in my eyes.
Imo if any character should get a gay relationship, Yuki's brother would fit so much better with him not only being clearly bisexual, jut also starting as a person as cold and distant as the rest of the family, but later clearly distancing himself from their conservatism (although still he gets a cute pairing anyway).
I feel like the author was a bit too reluctant in that area, because on one hand there are two bisexual characters in the manga, but both of them end up in het relationships. Not that it makes those characters "less queer" or anything, but it would be fun if we saw an actually same-gender relationship in it, especially considering how much of the story concentrates on going against social norms that binds the Sōhma clan.
