Are the cops in gravity falls gay

Disney's Gravity Falls wrapped its final episode and confirmed what many fans had long suspected: that characters Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durand are gay.

Alex Hirsch wanted to add a gay couple (and trans rep) and Disney continuously shot him down. They finally relented, but said it could only be the two cops. Hirsch was really on the fence, because sure it would be representation. But if the only representation was this pair of bumbling police officers, was it more detrimental than good?.
