What everyone else has already said.

But also I don't feel the need to apply today's youth's ideals onto a fictional character twenty years after the fact. I lived that time and well remember how homosexuality was viewed in general and in particular in media. Having a gay character was far more daring and progressive than most people are willing to admit. Having a bisexual character would have been a step too far. Heads would have rolled and nearly did anyway with having a gay character. People were convinced it was the Gay Agenda Indoctrinating Children and some parents even refused to believe their kid coming out to them was gay or bi because it had to be That Liberal Gay Agenda Show and their kid being brainwashed by it. People in denial will do and say and believe the most terrible and ridiculous things to maintain the integrity of their denial.

Yeah this is good to bring up because for some reason in the 90s/early 2000s you could put a gay character on tv but for some reason getting a bisexual person, especially as a main character, just did not occur.

Bisexual erasure was/is a thing.

Bisexual erasure (combined with the fact that she's fiction, not a real person making real statements about her real identity for herself) is exactly why I don't feel bad for identifying Willow as bisexual. There was insufficient onscreen development to deny that she is bi, and part of that is erasure both out-text and in-text. Chances are good that someone of Willow's time, place and station just doesn't have any referents to identify herself as bisexual even if she is. I cartooned about this here (http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/3faces/baaq.htm).

Hey, I was reading about your comic on TV Tropes today! I didn't know you posted here.

The channel that showed Buffy here used to edit the Willow/Tara scenes and only show the full versions in a late night repeat.
