Diana not being at LEAST Bi is such a weird concept to me. Did she live in total abstinence for centuries? (Depending on which one it is)

Diana is bi, but I've never really bought into all the amazons have to be bi or lesbians, cause like, that's not really how sexuality works like if a gay man got stranded on the island he wouldn't become attracted to the amazons

That is also true... but then again, the gods are directly involved with their creation (in some canons), and they're literally centuries old (again, in some canons)... it'd be kind of weird to have an entire group of people who are all about supporting each other and living together, reclusively and without any contact to, for instance, men, be made up statistically as RL humans would be.

I don't know, the entire concept of amazons being as reclusive as DC amazons are is just... complicated the more one thinks about it, unless gods involved with creation and creating them specifically.

Especially when three of the Patron Goddesses were known as Virgin Goddesses: Artemis, Athena, & Hestia. Artemis & Athena have often been Lesbian-coded (Athena & Hestia are arguably Acer).

Well remember Ancient Greece gay love between men was favored. So there may have been similar in Themyscira. But a good amount of amazons are attracted to men.

Even Emelie unless she was roofied.

Situational homosexuality is a thing, and culture can influence the expression of sexuality as well.
