I'd say yes - the main character's stalker threatens to tell his parents that he's bisexual before he's ready. Also shouts homophobic accusations at him in front of an audience.

A flamboyant character's sexuality is discussed without his permission. Though he does not seem to be closeted, it is unclear if his sexuality is known to the group, so jokes about his sexuality may be outing him.

Yes, one major plot point (SPOILERS) and then a number of smaller ways I'll list afterward....
[1] Henry is very anxious and careful to avoid being outed. This is shown multiple times in multiple ways. Then near the end, it happens, and he's devastated. (His sister Bea sits him down and sorrowfully tells him his and Alex's emails have been hacked and leaked to the press.)
[2] Alex has a "maybe I'm bi" talk with a friend and ends up outing two men to her. She reacts in a gossipy way but keeps the info private.
[3] Zahra discovers Alex is bi by accident. Alex begs her not to tell his mom, and she responds mockingly and dismissively.
[4] After the email leak, Alex gives an official response before he's able to talk to Henry. I didn't feel bothered by it, but I've heard others did.
[5] Added layer of spoilers - there are two suspenseful moments where Miguel looks suspiciously at Alex interacting with Henry. He then turns out to be the one who discovered and outed them.

The entire episode of "Gay Witch Hunt" is about a character being outed, and spoken about behind his back, and he is eventually practically forced to come out both to his coworkers and the camera crew.
There is also a lot of speculation from Michael and Dwight about who else could be LGBT in the office.

SPOILER -- In front of everybody, Ace pulls down a trans woman's pants in front of a large crowd, to misgender her and mock her. It's awful and inexcusable, yet somehow the film defends it still.

A lot of the show is gay men trying to hide that they're gay and then usually getting found out.
