Hibike Euphonium anime is often accused of queer baiting even though they are just friends even on the original work.

Even though Japan still doesn't have gay marriage, lgbt couples are well represented on their yaoi and yuri bubbles, so there's no need for authors to be sneaky about it and use queer bait.
