Tracer’s partner, Emily, doesn’t seem to be affiliated with the team in any way other than her relationship with Tracer, but her lore role may expand in further stories. At BlizzCon 2015, developers had mentioned that the Overwatch cast would feature sexually diverse backgrounds. That sound you hear is countless Overwatch fan artists gearing up for mischief.

There’s no word yet on Roadhog’s sexuality, but we can all hold out hope that the Roadhog and Junkrat stories are true.
