I'm actually kind of hoping it'll be mostly a non-issue, as we've already got discrimination against the Faunus, and in a way, Blake's hiding her heritage symbolizes how some LGBT folks feel before coming out, so Idk, while I always love a good coming out story, I feel as though making it as big of an issue as the Faunus may feel a little too redundant in terms of the discrimination storyline.... Unless members of the LGBT community are generally "rejected" by both humans and Faunus, then that would be an interesting twist....

I could see, though, how homosexuality/bisexuality/gender identity could be an issue for someone like, say, Weiss, who comes from a well-known family with a high social status, because in her father's eyes, and the community's eyes, if she were to have feelings for someone of the same sex, it could be seen as "different", and I'm assuming all Schnees, according to her family, should be expected to think and feel the same way.... So, if it were a character with a higher social status to "protect" who were to be revealed to be the LGBT character, I could definitely see it being a potential issue.
