I'm not picking on you, but you've just hit on what annoys me so much about the insistence on shipping Kanaya with guys that almost always comes FROM guys. (And I AM bisexual, so no erasure bullshit please.)

If Kanaya looked like Shannon Beiste on Glee or like Equius Zahhak with boobs in a dress, the straight male contingent of the fandom wouldn't be HALF so insistent on involving her with men in fic and art. But because she's a lipstick lesbian and they all think she's a hottie, they can't stand the idea of her reserving her nook and bulge and buckets for GIRLS ONLY.

Not every hot girl wants the penis. Please deal with this fact, men of Homestuck fandom. I don't get into ship wars because it's a waste of my time and I would never get up in your face about this, but I absolutely refuse to read or look at Kanaya getting red or black and down and dirty with men. Come on! There are 2 cherubs, 24 trolls, and 8 human kids. You can let Kanaya be queer.

And we do know some trolls are queer by troll standards--demiromantic, aromantic, and so on...just because it was part of Kankri's rant. (It may be masochistic of me but I really would like to be able to read the whole thing!) Bisexual is most common among them, as hetero is among humans, but there are some outliers.
