There might need to be some clarification on "cultural norms" and "nontraditional" to maybe say which norms and traditions, though? I mean, there's a difference between being poly in the modern USA and being part of a culture where some form of polygamy is standard, for example. So would it be characters who are what I the author think of as a sexual minority, or would it be characters who are what their own cultures within the story think of as a sexual minority?

Or possibly I'm making it too complicated.
