I can't vouch for what people write in Wikipedia. You're free to edit their comments if you think they're wrong.
But aren't there a continuum of sexual identities from heterosexual to bisexual to homosexual? Don't the experts say that no one is completely one or the other?
I imagine writer Campbell conceived Rainmaker as a lesbian, but decided it would be more dramatic if she slipped into bisexuality. If her drunken making out wasn't a one-time mistake, it implied she wasn't sure whether she was gay or not.
Anyway, I presume that's why Wikipedia variously identifies her as a lesbian and a bisexual. Campbell confused the issue by modifying her in midstream.
If Anne Heche can go from being a committed lesbian to a married mom, I don't find that too strange. As Wikipedia noted:
Anne said she does not give a label to her own sexual orientation and said "I have been very clear to everybody that just because I'm getting married does not mean I call myself a straight."
It seems to reinforce the claims of the museum exhibit noted in this blog. Humans may need darkness to reduce their sexual inhibitions, but animals don't. They apparently perform homosexual and bisexual acts naturally.

I've never heard of that experiment. Interesting.
