Neil begs to differ:

Q. Is Ellie gay?

Druckmann: “Now when I was writing it, I was writing it with the idea that Ellie is gay, and when the actresses were working they were definitely working with the idea that they’re both attracted to each other. That was the subtext and intention that they were playing with from the opening cinematic when they’re holding each other’s hands for too long, or when Riley bites her on the neck; there’s that chemistry there from the get go that was important for us so that we earned that moment when they kissed each other. So that it wasn’t just out of the blue but also wasn’t so overt that you’re like “Oh of course. Just get on with it.”

I don't understand how that contradicts what I said. Are Bi people back to being considered confused straight people again? 

He's pretty clear there that Ellie was writen as gay.
