URM refers to race.
Gay is a sexual orientation so that doesn’t count.
Being White and Chinese is not a URM. White and East-Asian are basically two of the most over represented race/ethnicity in the application pool.

There’s a special spot where you can say you are a mixed race, but you will not be given any boost in the admissions process like Blacks, Hispanics, Native Americans do.
