We know that there are LGBT characters in the series, and that they don't want it to be a big deal when people find out their preferences. They're working on getting better as writers, especially in regards to romantic relationships, before they tackle that sort of subject matter however. But they have not definitively said "one of this group is LGBT" or "One of the main four is LGBT".

They've stated that they want whether or not a character is LGBT to be about as important as whether they like tea or coffee in terms of characterisation; it's a preference, but it's not the be all and end all of the character. It's not what the character (whoever they are) is about. I feel like reaffirming this is necessary since it seems to have been buried under 'one of the main four is LGBT'.

I'm not saying that none of them are, or that any of them are, or even that all of them are. As far as the rumours go, there is nothing that has been definitively said either way about the RWBY girls. The rumours are simply rumours at this point in time. They may be proven true sometime down the track, but until a member of RT has a quote you can link to or be linked to by someone else (whether on Twitter, Facebook, or a timestamp for a video, etc) then take all rumours about this subject with a grain of salt.

That being said, I would like to also point out that Yang quite clearly showed she was interedt in boys during the sleepover before initiation, when she checked the shirtless boys out before Jaune ruined the moment. So, if she is indeed receptive of the compliments she has received from other females, she would be bisexual in this case.
