^but here is the thing.... they didn't say "one gay", they said "an LGBT character". Since Monty was the one pushing for representation and Miles or Kerry were the ones who said they didn't feel comfortable writing the relationship yet...

A. they aren't about to go changing Monty's baby after the fact without good reason.

B. they aren't going to write more existing characters they feel uncomfortable writing in the first place as something they weren't originally going to be, they also wouldn't incorrectly label RWBY members as purely straight, because they were not writing gay encounters/plot at the time, which means asexual or straight is what they were already writing the LGBT character as at the time..

C. they had plot all but written out for 10-20(they still say 20, 10 is the fan estimate given the extended volume runtimes and seasons like 2-3 being estimated to incorrectly) seasons of content, changing sexuality during the first 4(V2-3 were originally one season) has massive consequences, like changing/removing characters they haven't added yet, altering entire plotlines, etc.
