"healthy male friendships in fiction is almost as rare as gay male relationships" is taking it a little far, yes. Especially because the tumblr post is alluding to mainstream fiction, where no, friendships are definitely more common than gay relationships between two men.

But I'd also find it obnoxious for readers to tell the author of the work in question that their straight male character who has a close friendship is actually gay/bi because two men can't be close without a romantic/sexual relationship and anyone who says otherwise is a homophobe. Both male friendships and m/m relationships are good, and liking either or both in fiction is fine.
