Ehh, not exactly. The game changes them to fit you. They make no mention of liking the same sex unless you've started trying to romance them as the same sex.
And there's one girl that has an ex-boyfriend when you play as a guy, but an ex-girlfriend when you play as a girl. It would have been a great opportunity to include just a bit of actual bisexuality, but instead it changes the ex's gender to match your own.
With the "everyone's sexuality depends on yours" approach they should at least have the courage to make characters who are never into your gender. Like a woman who is straight if you're a woman and a lesbian if you're a man.
Romance in games is usually to some degree a wish fulfillment fantasy. Giving the players what they want gives the player what they want, which is the whole point of the game. But on the other hand I understand why people want a character who is "authentically", canonically of a fixed sexuality. You want to feel like the character was written for you, instead of just written for a generic protagonist who won't understand your unique culture and circumstances.

Here's a good video about bisexuality in games that uses Stardew Valley as an example for the first ~10 minutes.

Or a person who's aroace if you are __
I'd love that. Just a character made unavailable in reaction to your choices. They just have to not cave to fan pressure.
