wait for it: bisexuality. Preferring one sex over the other doesn't make you "homo-"anything. It just makes you bisexual

The thing is these people aren't bisexual. Majority of them considered themselves "flexible" not becuase of sexual attraction (only some which is what I called the 1 and 5s) but becuase they may have had, for example, that one fantasy with the opposite/same sex. They consider themselves gay/straight but not 100%. They had some fleeting "attraction" which was only for a moment, then vanished, but since they still had it, they wouldn't consider themselves 100%. There's other reasons too but I'm not gonna get into all of them. But another example would be gay/straight who aren't sexually attracted but would get into opposite/same sex relationship.

2-5 (I'll assume you made a typo) is literally where bisexuality falls. What are you even trying to say?

Nope, I wrote it correctly. On the Kinsey Scale they would be 1-5 (mostly heterosexual/homosexual, only slightly or incidentally homo/hetero).

Again, I'm not gonna force them to use a label they don't want. Also, no. I've not seen them used in SJW articles, I've started to seen them outside of it. Calm down, I get you expect this sub to be some hivemind but it's not. People got their own opinions on stuff. The label is not hurting anyone.
