That's really a good question. Hopefully both.

Definitely the latter; note particularly panel 3 when Faye starts to reciprocate with intimate touching. She's suddenly realised that she does desire Bubbles on a physical level as well as having a deep friendship with her.

--- End quote ---
Being transgender and being gay are orthogonal aspects of sexuality; as members of the LGBT grouping, they simply share the characteristic of not being both cis and hetero.
--- Quote from: Gyrre on 01 May 2018, 23:29 ---You had said that Jeph was actively trying to hide the queer relationships. Marten and Claire often appear together in the strips they're in.
--- End quote ---
Marten x Claire is not a queer relationship.

There's still a lot of room for whether they realize each others' feelings or take action. There could still be more to the story.
RE: Jeph "hiding" his "gays" - I don't think he ever did that. I think he was just finding his voice and making decisions about the characters. Generally speaking LGBT members are a minority of people in sheer numbers but Truth in Television - members of communities (not just LGBT) tend to seek and find each other so I don't think that there is a prescribed min or max and I think the comic has done just fine.
As an aside though, real life is messy and complicated. I don't think Faye is a lesbian per say and that's why attraction to another woman will take a long time to process. Perhaps she is "only incidentally homosexual"

Would be hard to realize from a back massage and from her hand running up bubbles' leg that bubbles has romantic feelings. Pretty sure she's realized hers.

Cannot disagree strongly enough with you there.
Not just because I have personal experience of it happening to me.
