Plus, the writers said they don't want to treat the LGBT characters like they're a huge deal. Highlighting a character's status as LGBT would be making a big deal.

If we started marking cishetero and LGBT characters with categories anyway, that would open its own can of worms because we can never be wholly certain that a character is cishetero. Many people insisted that Yang was straight because she checked out shirtless guys in Volume 1, but she can easily be bisexual or pansexual. We now have the evidence that she could be bi or pan, but if we had marked her as cishet before, that would have been an assumption on our part.
