Willow - Gay or Bi

[Randi Giles]

Alot of people are always discussing what Willows sexual orientation was and I always thought of it really as Willow just loves everybody. I know alot of people might say no she was gay, but at the same time Willow was just so in love with both Xander and Oz and even had a crush on Giles it kind of throws me off. To me even if she was with a guy or girl after Tara it didn't matter. I never really thought of her being with Tara as gay or a phase. I just thought of Willow falling really deep for a person who could have been the love of her life that just so happen to be a girl.

I think Willow certainly has the capacity to be sexually attracted to someone of either gender. That would make her, according to most definitions, bi.

But she also seems to self-identify as gay in later seasons, which suggests that although she's capable of sexual attraction to either gender, she's determined that she prefers women.

This kind of answer one of my questions. I always wondered if she preferred women or did she just prefer Tara. One main reason I didn't lke Kennedy is of the old thinking that she was trying to take Tara's place and it didn't fit right then. Sometime I think what if Oz were to come back? She loved him almost as much I think.

I think Willow was attracted to men, but then Tara was her soulmate. I'd probably just say she's 'bi'?

This is pretty much a similar topic to a THREAD I just moved into the BtVS board, so it'd be cool if you just continued the discussion there. There are some interesting opinions and insights there, so your discussion will just enrich that.
Cool? Cool.
