As for the comic itself, there's something adorable about the way Clinton is fanning himself.
Though for some reason I was kinda hoping he wasn't interested in Elliot. Like I'd associated being unlucky in love with Elliot's character and it bothers me that his luck may change and no I'm not projecting because I'm lonely, you're projecting!
BenRG:
Yeah, I have to agree that, if there is one thing Claire can teach her younger brother, it is this: Learning who you are and coming to terms with that fact isn't a destination, it's a never-ending journey. More importantly, if you wait until you're 100% sure before doing anything, then you'll never do anything!

I don't. It's really a minority reaction, in my experience. What is disturbing, though, is that it seems to be the standard reaction of LGBT organisations around here. So I cannot trust them.

sorry friend, but citation needed
there's been a helluva lot of ink spilled on cultural assumptions, so i hate to spill more, but... yeah.

Clinton is a man who dated or tried to date women before, and never expressed interest in men. I don't know what's your definition of heterosexual, but in mine, that matches pretty well.
Which doesn't mean he cannot realize he's actually interested in Elliot. Life is a process, not a state.

Seriously, the narrative Claire spins doesn't do anything for me, because, y'know, I'm not at all attracted to men, or male sexual attributes like bulging muscles. Clinton's reactions make him out to be pretty gay.
I'm no longer sold on him being bi. Mainly because he didn't overheat that way over Brun or Emily. In fact, he had a conversation with Brun where he expressed uncertainty as to whether he was attracted to her. Which was a conversation I found decidedly weird at the time, since I've never had any doubts about who I found attractive. But then, I was never a gay male attempting to struggle against cultural programming telling me I should be interested in women.

You're assuming too much. Not being attracted by a woman (or even two, for that matter) doesn't mean not being attracted by women.
