The fact that there are no fairytales or Disney movies with LGBT characters (at least that I'm aware of) doesn't matter. OUAT doesn't work strictly with fairytales and movies; most times, they add interesting twists or change a character completely. Ursula originally being a mermaid, Jiminy Cricket being a human and being Pongo's owner, Tinker Bell being able to change into human size, Cruella being magic... all of those thigns weren't present in their original fairytales/movies, they were added by Adam and Eddie as their own unique twist.

They've changed characters' backstories (Ursula), ethnicities (Rapunzel), personalities (Aurora), general physical appearance (Cora) and even species (Robin and Marian). So why would changing their "original" sexuality be any different?
