Hey, as a lesbian who considers herself a 5 on the Kinsey scale I'd still be pretty damn offended if someone called me bisexual. I have been incidentally attracted to men once or twice, but that does not invalidate my overwhelming preference for women, which is far more important to me.

Which is what I'm saying. Bisexuality is defined as a sexual attraction to men and women while homosexuality is the sexual attraction to only one gender. You're a five, but you choose to identify as a lesbian. It has nothing to do with invalidation. You choose to label yourself as something that you can't in the strictest sense be defined as. This is exactly the situation that I see Kanaya in.

Technical bisexuality, the best kind.

So you are invalidating my identity. You're saying that my rare and fleeting attractions to men are of as great import to how I choose to label myself as my overwhelmingly greater attraction to women, the fact that I only date women and have only dated women since I came out because identifying as bisexual led to more than one unhappy relationship with a man I was attracted to but not sexually, and the fact that I have only had and will only ever have sex with women.

Would you tell a straight person who admitted that they found a person of the same sex attractive once or twice in their life and never acted on such attraction, people who'd fall as 1s or 2s on the Kinsey scale, that they technically can't call themselves straight because of it?

There are more nuances in attraction and sexuality, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
