Absolutely. I'm sick of the gay woman=lesbian and every woman who kisses another woman being "claimed" by fandom as a lesbian even when it's clear she could be or is explicitly in canon bisexual.

Absolutely!

Yes! Every 'I don't like labels' I hear on TV hurts my heart a little - not because that isn't a valid space a lot of people find themselves in, but because there is such affirming power in hearing your identity spoken outloud, especially so for bi people, in a positive light like this.

It makes my heart so happy that she said the word bisexual multiple times, it really doesn't get used much sadly so it was nice to hear it, and have her continue to say it as well.

This, very much. An openly bi woman playing an openly and deliberately bi character feels so good after years and years of bisexuality being treated as a joke or something that doesn't exist.

This quote from an interview with Beatriz is everything to me (http://ew.com/tv/2017/12/05/brooklyn-nine-nine-rosa-bisexual/)

Not to say that my story is the same as Rosa’s at all. It’s not. But there were things that we wanted and thought would be really important — like the word itself: bisexual. To me, that’s an important word in my coming out. I know that not all people are totally celebratory of that word because it’s from a time where it was like these two genders — that’s all there is. And now there’s a lot more flexibility and fluidity in sexuality, which is why sometimes I gravitate toward the word queer as well. For me, bisexuality includes people that are trans, it can include people who identify in different kind of ways. But for Rosa, there was a point for her where she heard that word somewhere along the line and she saw herself in that word, so for her, it was important for her to identify in that way. I suggested that that word was really important to Rosa and that it also would be really important to the bi community to have that word said aloud on TV. Not just a suggestion that she dates girls now, but a clarity on this character: This is who I am, and I’d like you to know it — and accept it.
