They weren't hiding it or downplaying it for that reason, they just didn't actually decide that Bill was gay until W. Earl Brown talked to Druckmann about it in the course of making the thing. So the indications are subtle because they were later tweaks and not originally planned, and because in the game Bill's sexuality wasn't particularly important to what his character added to the story. It was basically an addition to give the character more depth and dimension and give Brown an opportunity to play the role the way he wanted to, which added to his performance.
