"Though, my first dance is spoken for."

Oh yeah, and Blake is the only member of Team RWBY which has shown any interest at all to a male. Which could mean she's Bisexual.

It's called queerbaiting, it's used for profit. Things like The Cursed Child, Naruto, and various animes have it to attract the LGBT community and pull it away at last minute. They could make a lot more money if they actually cared about LGBT+ representation and actually made LGBT+ characters, and canon LGBT+ couples. To, you know, attract the ones who are tired of queerbaiting and stick to things like Steven Universe. 1. Uh... That's not what Adam was implying. "Love" is not just romantic, it can also be platonic (friendship) and familial. Adam was saying he'll destroy everything that Blake cares about. Since Yang came running along shouting Blake's name, he took that as a sign that Yang is one of Blake's friends, and thus Blake must care about her. Adam does not know enough about Blake and Yang's relationship to know whether or not he should see Yang as competition.

2. Yang purring at the sight of shirtless boys.

3. I really doubt that the RWBY crew is queerbaiting. Miles said that they haven't revealed the LGBT+ characters yet because they want it to be a smoothly-done thing that does not make a huge deal out of "OMG LOOK AT THIS CHARACTER, THEY'RE GAY, CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!!!" They want it to just be treated like a normal thing, on the same level as "Blake loves books" and "Weiss prefers coffee over tea."

That, and Miles feels that he's not great at writing romance stuff yet, so he's trying to make sure that when they do get around to the LGBT+ stuff, he does it well.
