Most evidence would definitely suggest that Smithers is gay, and I personally believe he is. But here's some evidence that says he's probably not gay, but desparately lacks a father-figure. Smither's dead is killed in a nuclear accident when he is very young. Mr. Burns told him that a band of Amazon woman killed his father. I think this is where the women-phobia begins. I think Smithers lacks a masculine figure, and Mr. Burns isn't exactly man-material. He's more like a withered corpse. So Smithers sees Mr. Burns as a father figure, and harbors some sort of obsession due to ridicoulously amount of time spent with Burns.

The real question is: Are Lenny and Karl gay?
