Joss Whedon that he would make the character of Willow bi in a modern-day remake of Buffy, after being persuaded against it.

I don't really mind one way or the other. I don't think he ever explicitly talked about the bi possibility before.

Willow is Bi, it's just that she wants to identify as a Lesbian even though she was clearly attracted to Oz and Xander back in the day.

I'm not sure that we can actually say with any degree of certainty that Willow ever was actually gay. I always saw the Willow/Tara coupling as more just two lonely people falling in love than any sort of definite sexual definition, and Willow/Kennedy as nothing more than a mistake, a joke, and a disaster from Day One. (I think that Willow's attitude at that moment was more, "We're probably all gonna die anyhow, so what the hell," than ever as, "I've found a new love, so I can move on," kind of statement. I think that, if Oz would have come back for that final Season, they might just as easily have paired up, and then Kennedy would have been stuck with Andrew.

Joss messed up a lot when it came to his gay characters, but I can definitely understand his reasoning for making Willow gay and I think it was the right call at the time.

Biphobia is definitely a prevalent phenomenon nowadays so had the story been made today it would have been a good topic to address, just like gay representation was needed back then.

Thank you!

Finally some official verification of what some of us have been saying for YEARS! 😏

I believe they'd make Willow gay from day 1 if we're talking a Buffy reboot.

I'd be upset if they made her either bisexual or queer. I think the asexual community doesn't get nearly enough representation on television and there is a lot of discrimination against it. Asexual people have the lowest average life satisfaction of anyone. Additionally an asexual person is less likely to be believed if sexually assaulted.

If representation matters, make Willow asexual.
