Zebediah:
We may have a couple of clues about Brun’s sexuality. She seemed to enjoy spending time with Millefeuille. And in retrospect, she warmed up to Claire pretty quickly. So it’s possible that she feels more drawn to women (including female-presenting robots) than to men. Or at least she’s more comfortable hanging out with them.
That’s admittedly not a lot of data, so in the spirit of the moment I am rating this Too Early to Call.

Well, there are demisexuals, who require some kind of emotional connection to feel sexual attraction, so there definitely are people who need time to find someone attractive. I personally require trust, which can take even longer.
That Brun/Clinton/Elliot thing.. Rationally speaking, Brun is right. The thing is, emotions usually don't care about rationality. And being irrational doesn't make them invalid. The decision of whether Clintons behaviour needs an apology should be Elliot's to make. I'm pretty sure it can be fixed with an honest conversation and an apology though.
Brun being brutally open about her thoughts is pretty much Brun being Brun and probably comes with her being autistic. Non-autistic people often only like open honesty until someone actually is openly honest. Elliot doesn't seem to have a problem with that. We'll see about Clinton.
Edit fixed typo

Don't you think the growth of the pron industry over the last decades put your hypothesis into question?
Also: Citation needed. Because Science.

Her warming up to Claire quickly has always seemed linked to their shared sense of humor. Can't base a relationship on puns alone. Also, her oldest friend being Renee is another data point, though I'm not sure if that indicates sexual preference or just general comfort with women.
Kiloku:
I know this is not what's being hinted at or the path the comic is taking, but this strip made me picture Brun, Elliot and Clinton as a poly triad where she mostly watches (similar to the Lito/Hernando/Daniela dynamic in Sense8) rather than participate and they live together lovingly.
Maybe I'm just wishful for poly representation
