What is Bubbles' sexual orientation?
Is it cold in here?:

Is this topic even appropriate? My feeling is that it is not; I would find it unacceptable if someone asked in open forum what my sexual orientation was, so how is asking about Bubbles sexual orientation acceptable?
Now, I am as guilty as the rest of the posters here. My apologies to Bubbles and to those others that my contribution to this discussion might have offended.

Global Moderator Comment Thought-provoking. For right now, if LGB people still feel included and welcome, it's appropriate because it's part of understanding Bubbles's reaction to understand how she thought she was oriented before Faye.

I don't mean any disrespect to Bubbles by asking this. If she was a real person, I might find a more tactful way of asking about her romantic history. That's fair. Maybe I should have worded it differently.
SmilingCat:
Bah, heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual... I think the readers might have missed something due to human bias.
I suspect that bit with Roko and the bread wasn't just a comedy segue, it was foreshadowing, indicating the next conflict after Faye and Bubbles own up to their feelings.
Namely, Bubbles sexuality might not fit any defined human categories, and they might be completely sexually incompatible, or at least very close to it. The next stage of their relationship (after acknowledging its existence) might be gradually feeling out how to make the intimacy side of things work.
EDIT: For some reason this SMBC comic has been stuck in my head ever since I posted this comment.

Speaking as someone on the LGB spectrum the topic doesn't bother me for that reason. But I don't see the point of it at all. We have exactly one point of reference when it comes to Bubble's sexuality. She's romantically attracted to Faye. There has been no indication to her romantic or sexual orientation beyond that, past or present. So the entire thread is strictly and literally baseless guesswork.
Tova:
I tend to agree with this. While the question per se (arguably) doesn't cross the line, because we have so little upon which to base a discussion of the topic, any serious attempt to answer the question quite probably would.
