Why do you feel like an asshole? Just make it clear it isn't a "cured by the penis" thing and explore where her feelings for the guy come from to make it clear she's a lesbian.

Human relationships and sexuality are complex. This is a big part of the LGBT movement -- it's not "sexuality should be just as rigid and black-and-white as it used to be, only now with gays allowed too."

I keep forgetting to write OP...

As for the why, I think dancing_clown is probably right. Makes sense. I don't know why I feel this amount of guilt over fanfic. I'm bi, myself, and initially I had no problem with developing this idea and plotting it out and all, always with the knowledge that she was still a lesbian no matter what, but then all of a sudden I got worried about the implications of what I was writing, and ... blah.

That's totally understandable. I myself just wrote a scene for a pro gig where two largely-straight guys have sex with each other, and it was tough to walk the line of acknowledging that these guys are basically straight without it coming off as "NO HOMO LOL". The important thing is that you're thinking about and acknowledging these issues, and making an effort to treat them sensitively without just throwing your story out the window.
