I know, I lived through that period. And that's why I think it's fine to call her bisexual in current discussions even though the show didn't.

But redefining a 90s character through present eyes completely changes what that character was and meant. The character herself identifies as gay, and a large number of gay women identified with and connected with that character at that time for precisely that reason. Does it suck that bisexual women couldn't do the same? Sure. But you just can't reverse-engineer an existent canonical identity through a modern lens without fundamentally changing it.

Characters can be read in multiple ways by the audience. One person's bisexual interpretation doesn't erase another's lesbian interpretation.
