Indeed, but I've always read "as much as he is able to have them" as recognition of the Joker's emotional limitations, not his strengths.
And remembering the Creeper BTAS story, where we see the Joker get homicidally jealous when The Creeper makes goo-goo eyes at Harley. Not because he cares about Harley as a person, but because she is HIS.
My go to assessment of the Joker's sexuality remain the comment ACTUALLY gay Pied Piper used back in the 90's
And Grant Morrison's comment about the Joker's sexuality being purely a performance and is summarised as "Whatever will most disturb the person he's expressing towards"
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
