The character developed naturally such that she could technically be called bisexual - it wasn't about gender for willow, it was about friendship and intimacy.  I'll also agree that there is a huge amount of childishness going on with regards to various activist groups. Whether Willow's next love is male, female, or Clem, W & T's relationship was STILL the best-portrayed and most tastefully handled homosexual relationship on Television. As far as the development being sudden, I have to disagree, myself. Anyone remember the "I think I'm kinda gay" comment from season 3, regarding the Vampire Willow version? Angel hinted that many of a person's base characteristics still show through in a vampire - in other words, assuming the alternate willow was exactly like "our" Willow, then the possiblity has always been there. The drama with Tara, while not exactly year-long, did take place over about 5 or 6 episodes, and the episode in season 4 with Oz's return, I think perfectly played out her realization that all that time spent talking and doing spells with Tara late into the night meant far more than she at first wanted to admit.(Buffy's reaction in that episode - "What, Will? What do you mean, WILL?" - still cracks me up. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> I personally think it was a nod both to the stereotypical friend who doesn't know how to handle such a revelation, and also a nod to Will and Grace, but I could be mistaken.)</blockquote>
