I don't believe there is anything in either the anime or manga that mentions Naoi's orientation.

To me, it seems more like Naoi really admires Otonashi. Perhaps he's looking to get the recognition that his father never gave him, but that's just my view on it.

In the last episode, he explains that Otonashi really helped him. Afterall, he set Naoi on the right path and helped him overcome his lingering emotions, so it's natural that he would appreciate Otonashi.
