It's possible that it's Yang, esspecially with what we've seen of Yang lately (Her talking about needing Blake with her for one.) But it's also entirely possible that it's Ruby, or even Blake herself. We don't really know enough of the fact, or behind the scenes info, to safely say it's one character over another.

The fact that at volume 2 there was only one LGBT character in the main cast pretty much puts all of the RWBY (the team, not the show) ships to bed. There's only one at the time, which means that Ruby+Weiss/Blake/Yang isn't possible. Same with Weiss+Blake/Yang and Blake+Yang, as only one of them would be LGBT.

Personally, I think it was a mistake on Monty and Rooster Teeth's part to do something like that. That is, definitively say what a character's sexuality is. It would be better for those things to slowly evolve as the characters do. It's why I'm glad they waited to announce that Illia is either gay or bi. (all we've seen is she's interested in Blake, this doesn't definitevly say that she's gay.) If at that time, Monty came out and said "Yes, Yang is gay." Or any of the others in the main cast, then that becomes everything that the character is. If it was Blake, then they couldn't have the flirty interactions between her and Sun, as it would be clear to the audience that he has no chance with her.

By leaving it open, they've allowed themselves the ability to do what ever interactions between the characters that they want, making them organic beings that go beyond "I'm Gay."

Hell, Torchwick and Neo were still characters at that time, they could have been the cast member Monty was talking about.
