As for representation of varying sexual orientations in Disney content, I'd argue there is still a ways to go. They've kind of only taken baby steps towards normalizing it (maybe being careful not to alienate the swathes of US christian consumers). Meanwhile they've gone a little overboard on the racial representation front to where it feels like overcompensation after a century of white characters in leading roles (and even toning it down in stories like Aladdin and Pocahontas where there wasn't so much as an accent to be found).
Just do either where it fits the script. The idea is to treat diversity and sexual orientation like it is already normalized, and not where you're overthinking it, avoiding it, or makes a huge deal out of shoehorning it where it doesn't work.
This doesn't have to be that hard.
