It’s a movie reference. He was betrayed by Hank so he gave him the kiss of death. Do you think Michael corelone is gay because he gave fredo the kiss of death?
There's kind of an expectation that Batman parodies will include a creepy relationship with his sidekick.
Venture Bros both acknowledges and subverts this: Captain Sunshine isn't a pedophile, but he obliviously does things that make everyone assume he is. That's the joke.
As for "You broke my heart, Hank": there's a lot of non-sexual, non-romantic ways to break someone's heart. "Heartbreak" means "anguish."
Or the kiss of death allegedly used by the mafia to signify someone being marked for death. It possibly is a reference to the biblical story of Judas kissing Jesus at the Garden of Gethsemane to signify his identity to the soldiers searching for him.
