Since they seem to have implied that the LGBT character (the one Monty was "adamant" about) is one we haven't really seen before Volume 3, it sounds like it's between Scarlet, Qrow, and Winter.

There's a point in favor of Scarlet because he had a gay fanboy in Episode 2, altough that doesn't necessarily mean anything on Scarlet himself. But, unlike the other two characters, he has been on-screen before - albeit minimally. It's also questionable if Monty would have been partciluarly adamant over a seemingly minor character, unless Scarlet will have a bigger role than expected.

Nothing in particular is pointing to Qrow. He apparently never had a family or anyting unlike the other members of his old team, so they could be going for the "cool gay uncle" thing. There's nothing substantiating it and it's a flimsy argument at this point, though. Same goes for Winter, whose only argument is that she could pass as a "tough lesbian" type. (The biggest argument against one of them being this LGBT character is that two have some tension and history going on, which could be romantic. However, there is probably a significant age difference between the two, making a pairing between them more unlikely; their relationship could just simply be a bitter professional rivalry between conflicting personalities.)
