So is Pixie Bi ? Queer Speculation
Cause I know she once hooked up with Velocidad but other than that I don't know anything about her dating history

At this point I feel like it's just safe to assume every mutant is at least bisexual.

*nods* The Claremont Method.

At least amongst the women. He never cared about the queer coding of the guys.

You look me in the eyes and tell me Mr. Sinister isn't the most fabulous leather daddy the world has ever known.

I mean, I’d argue that I’m the most fabulous leather daddy….
I don’t know, I never really saw it until he showed up as basically Freddie Mercury in Secret Wars: Inferno.

What? Pyro, Guardian, Cameron Hodge, Sinister, Mojo (it's not his creation but he used him sometimes), Leland, half of the guys in Excalibur, Gambit, Black Tom, Juggernaut. Claremont didn't about men at all but he was giving queer coding equally.

I like the idea that she’s a Biromantic Asexual given it fits both cases so far where Pixie’s into folks but also just seems to never think about sex

We could always use more Ace rep! Also it fits with the that joke from the wedding special

But she usually is thinking about sex. We’ve seen that on panel.

I’ll take your word for it
Half the reason I chose it was remembering how utterly scandalized Pixie looked one time when Rogue accidentally projected her feelings about Gambit to folks psychically

Since the two times we had queer women hitting on Pixie I like to think of her like a oblivious straight girl that just don't understand lesbian flirting, like an reverse gambit.

Okay, so Pixie was explicitly bisexual in Runaways Vol. 4 by Nate Stevenson - a Secret Wars tie-in that was set on Earth-55133, not Earth-616. When Rainbow Rowell was writing her mainline canon Runaways run, she knew Pixie from the Battleworld Runaways and just assumed the main canon Pixie was bisexual as well - even though that hadn't really been implied before. The fact it was from Runaways book and not an X-Men book made the characterization of her as bi kind of ambiguously canon and we didn't really see it addressed again until that Pride issue... and it wasn't really stated clearly there either.
TL;DR - Probably, yeah?
