I totally disagree and think absolutes are unrealistic. People probably assume the Amazons are lesbians anyway, there's plenty of evidence for it. Hippolyta being bisexual adds shades of gray to something too starkly black and white. If she's with Philippus it's nice and no one bats an eye but a male love interest, especially someone like Black Adam is more controversial, interesting, unexpected and has greater story potential.
Lol what? So now Hippolyta being with a man is subversive?
Look, I get that most people don't like me being exclusionary with a character that has had relationships with the other sex, and I'm not exactly angry about it continuing, but I think the wish fulfillment of the amazons is stronger if Hippolyta is a lesbian that could've never been herself in man's world and that's why she was compelled to be the queen of a society of women isolated from men.
We've hardly seen them do anything with her and Philippus as a couple because there's not a lot to do with them as a couple. What, they've not been together for thousands of years and suddenly form an attraction? Or they've been together for thousands of years and suddenly break-up? Okay, then what? After the first few centuries on an isolated island I'd imagine they'd know each other very well regardless of either scenario. Where's the conflict?
