Unfortunately, for those that are big LGBT supporters, there are a lot of people that still wouldn't want to see homosexuality seen in children's shows, and if they were to include it on FIM, there would be unwanted controversy over it, and that could be enough to effect the fate of the show (or any other show that's aimed for younger viewers). Is it a bad thing? Well, it depends on a person's view of homosexuality. Some folks are fully supportive of them, some folks love homosexuals (but disagree with the lifestyle), and others outright loathe the lifestyle and fear/dislike homosexuals. It could happen someday in kids cartoons, but probably not anytime soon. I can also see that it could upset other fans in a different way, even those that are pro-LGBT (maybe in a sense that they hate seeing ___ with ____ ).

I'm not going to say much more than that, but I wanted to try to be as balanced as I can be without taking sides (which I won't do here). Your niece, however, does sound like a creative person.
