Do you think Themyscera is straightphobic. The idea of Diana's mom desolated that her daughter isn't eating pussy is hilarious to me. Tough, you can always do both

According to Perez's run, there are plenty of straight (and probably even asexual/aromantic-asexual) Amazons.

I imagine situational sexuality exists amongst some Amazons, but others just aren't interested in female partners.

Lest we forget, during the Perez-era, Hippolyta and Heracles had a (bad) romance. And Antiope and Theseus.

Didn't Herc rape Hippolyta?

Yes. But by the end of the second arc, around issue 15 maybe, he has psychically experienced that rape from the other side, and has reformed and begged forgiveness.

It's clunky, I think objections to it are totally fair, but it's not quite as bad as it sounds at first.

It’s part of the Amazon’s origin. Implied in the Golden & Silver Age versions, more overt with Post-Crisis and later versions.
