It's so damn forced and contrived that I don't doubt for a second that it was at least brought up in conversation as a factor beforehand. "So... Donatello wears purple. Some people associate that color with being gay. I'm not comfortable with that. Can he wear a different color, perhaps yellow? No? How about pink? That's WORSE? Okay then... I got it, let's have him develop a crush on April the very first second he sees her, and then cram it down everybody's throats and never let him shut up about it for even five minutes, just in case people forget how badly he wants to tap that sweet jailbait ass of hers? PERFECT. Everybody to the board room for hookers 'n blow, we're f***in' brilliant."

I don't think that I've ever heard gay jokes about Donatello. Even there are gay jokes it was obviously not a big deal for 25 years.

As for changing his mask color, pretty sure white or grey could work. Although I think they could go back to the all red masks from the Mirage era, the designs are individual enough for this show.
