I'm a gay woman too and have no inherent problem with a non-straight villain per se. I was looking at it more from the POV of the conservative South American country I'm from (and the articles I read, which were from Latin American media outlets), because my first thought was that all that movie is going to do when it premieres here is reinforce in the minds of the homophobic assholes who surround me that of COURSE the gay/bi villain is going to seduce Bond, not because that particular character is attracted to Bond (and who wouldn't be) but because that's what ALL GAYS DO don'tcha know? So in that sense, it does bother me. I'd rather the first introduction of non-straightness in Bond movies hadn't been through a villain that tries to seduce Bond while holding him captive.
