I think there wasn't a big deal over Dumbledore being revealed to be gay because it never really played into the story, so they didn't show it in-depth. Also, I'm not completely sure how well-known that fact is in the first place.

Homosexuality in media is controversial because homosexuality in itself is controversial due to Christian values and the fact that most Christians don't want to put up with other people, regardless of those people's religion or lack thereof, doing things that go against the Bible.

I wouldn't mind if there were homosexual relationships in RWBY, as long as it doesn't seem to just be fanservice. We don't want this becoming High School of the Dead. That said, on the other hand, I just don't see the members of team RWBY being lesbians, mostly Ruby, Yang, and Blake.
