I didn't liked this show very much, so I didn't bother hearing about this. But if it were some work I loved, I would be REALLY pissed.

One of the voice actresses had a interview where they said that Sulette and Miorine were married in the finale, that section of the interview was removed in the digital copy and was noted and a Bandai executive came out and apologise...for allowing the marriage part was not suppose included and the their relationship in the end was suppose to up to the viewer's interpretation.

It has nothing to do with the show proper. Basically, Bandai have gone out of their way to muddle the waters regarding the main couple's relationship, refusing to let it be explicitly referred to as "marriage", etc. What makes different from other queerbaity cases is that the show itself wasn't actually ambiguous. They never said the word "marriage" directly, but the couple were engaged for the whole show and in the epilogue they were wearing wedding rings. The attempt making ambiguous something that very clearly was not infuriated a lot of people.

It's clearly a case where the execs never watched the show and just had someone release boilerplate text - probably the same thing they'd release if a VA called two Love Live characters married - despite everyone working on the show clearly being on the same page. It's a stunningly clear sign of how much corporate doesn't even slightly care about creatives.

And as usual, people who aren't into Yuri are accusing us of overreacting (not inside Dynastty obviously, but I've seen it happen)

I think regardless of if people enjoy the show or not executive meddling just sucks, and is bad for everyone. Especially when it comes to media such as this where the gay representation is very clear and matter of fact, yet corporate wants to deny the existence of gay people yet again. From what I know the same thing happened with Yuri on Ice. That's why I think everyone should come together in times like this and push back against the nonsense.

@juanelric It's originally Miorine's quote from the first episode, GJM's translation would read as "Mercury's still behind the times, huh?" (not quite literal, but it'll do). I just replaced Mercury there with the Bandai logo. :D

Without directly mentioning the Bandai statement, the recent event tried to fix some of it. They had Mio call Suletta her partner in a romantic context and drew attention to the girls' rings both in pictures and words. The elegant phrase "Suletta and Miorine were wearing rings on their ring fingers" made an appearance. Apparently Bandai isn't trying to deny their relationship or their marriage, but is unwilling to use the M word, probably because it's a hot topic in Japanese politics right now.
This isn't to defend Bandai or soften the laudable sentiment presented in the above image, but you don't have to fear any retcons or future works going full galpal.
