I think that's about right.

One would assume that if amazons (or Wonder Woman in particular) did have habitual and constant physical relationships on the island then going out into the outside world and witnessing non-homosexual life going on around them might be shocking at first. This is, of course, after marveling (if inclined to do so) at this amazing new creature called "Men".

Yep.

[/QUOTE]I would think the reaction would be to take a long pause and re-examine that aspect of her life before trying the "new flavor", so to speak.[/QUOTE]

Some probably would do that, and some would be happy with their existing relationships and orientation.

In the end, the point I made about 300 posts ago remains the same, and I'm likely sure you might be inclined to agree... Just because you come from a same-sex society does not make u gay, or bi.

I do agree. Like I said before, some people may not be biologically capable of very much same-sex desire under any circumstances. For other people who are somewhat closer to the middle of the spectrum, cultural context may matter. So, if someone says being raised in an all-female society makes the average Amazon more likely to be attracted to her own sex, I don't think that's necessarily wrong.

So, r u saying that somewhat depend on diana own sexuality and enivorment can affect her or can not affect her?

I'm all for bi characters, gay characters, and whatnot. But I don't think Wonder Woman is bi, simply because she's never been portrayed as such. And, well, if DC does want to turn an established character bi, that's great of course, but picking Wonder Woman would seem a bit on the nose. Not that it can't be done, but I think her sexuality with men alone hasn't been explored nearly enough as is. Plus the question is "is Wonder Woman bi", and the obvious answer is no, since that's what's written so far.

Also, right now she's in a relationship with Supes. And she's been around a long time, never expressed interest in a relationship with a woman. If she was bi, I don't think she would've been able to resist in any of her team-ups with Power Girl, she'd be openly drooling.

So, while it's fun to ask "why or why not" for the idea of making WW bi, as of now the character is not bi.

She is a fictional character after all, and if editorial doesn't tell the writers that she should be bi, then she won't be written that way. And, well, thus far she hasn't been. It's not really a mysterious subject.

do you think DC would allow this? no way.
it's like a TV show "Glee" two female characters have a lot of chemistry together but they can't be together for n reasons (producers,channel, markenting) but we got some good subtext.
If there's too much discussion about a character sexuality like happens with WW, maybe there is some truth in it.

Doesn't matter to me if she's bi. I love fictional characters because they're symbols for me when i was a child.

Ummmm...

You do know that Santanna and Brit are a couple? It wasn't subtext - it was flat out stated that they'd slept with one another.

Cool. I think it's about time we have more positive LGBT character. Also I think if wonder woman was bi it would be because of the gods.

You have no intention of letting this die, right?

What I mean by that is the goddesses make the amazons love people regradless of gender. That what I should said. The amazons dont care about the gender but who the person is. The same go for wonder woman. I should have been more clear. their attract to not gender but the person. What I mean is the amazons could be lesbians or bi to us. but what if they didn't have a sexual orenation . They were just attract to the person they truly love. Same go for wonder woman.

I think she would fall in love with someone regardless of sex. She doesn't seem the label-ish type.

Either way, her sexuality doesn't make her character nor would it (or should it) shape the stories told about her, imo.

I feel the same way.
