On the one hand, the way Willow is shown is something that happens with real life lesbians. On the other, I'm pretty sure that the writers didn't have their minds made up about who the gay character was going to be, just that they'd have one, and that leads me to just view her characterization as sloppy and ill handled on that front. If they wrote her to identify as bi, the weirdness wouldn't be there.

I'd like more prominent lesbians to be monosexual, I was starving for that in my teen years and always felt jerked around when a self proclaimed lesbian got it on with a guy.

That's true too! Otherwise "gold-star lesbians" wouldn't even be a thing, would it, cause that would be the way it always happened.

hah, and here's me where it's been the opposite - characters lead het lives until they suddenly don't and I'm like "OH SNAP, A CHARACTER LIKE ME" and then they always bypass what seems to be the obvious and happily proclaim "I'm gay!" and I'm like "....? What, are you afraid to say it? JUST SAY IT!!! IT'S A THING, LOOK IT UP! (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=bisexuality)" (I guess the thing is that I see this example so much less, but yeah, a lesbian-identifying lady bangin' dudes and still saying "I'm gay, y'all" can still make me feel like everyone wants to OMG AVOID using my label. Doesn't mean it's not a thing that ever happens, but....yeah)
