Doesn't work like that. Straight isn't the default, that's a heteronormative way of thinking.

In any case, both Chloe and Pandora have shown attraction for both sexes. For that matter, Abby hasn't shown any interest in boys, so she's likely not straight either.

I think Chloe may represent fear less for who she is and more for the effect her blood had on Layla. We saw how Layla became addicted to Choles blood and alittle of her come down after the first time she bit her. I would imagine the second time when she has to go cold turkey would be worse and she fears something like that happerning again.

That may be, but it still doesn't answer the question. If she was ever jealous of Mel, she's never shown it. As in, not even vaguely implied. The closest she ever came was when she called Mel a harpy for going after Kade, after she'd been dumped. But in the scene I linked to (and others), Mel always appeared to be jealous of Layla.

That was where Chloe and Maria are concerned. Though I'm still of the opinion that she's fine as is, her bust size compliments her figure.
JoybuzzerX wrote:...now as for Layla's bi curious side, I see no reason why Layla's sub conscience would lie about it, but it makes me curious if Mel has been one of Layla's crushes or just Bi Curious side of her sub conscience making the comment.
Bi-curious doesn't automatically imply she's ever had a crush on anyone of the same sex. It just means she may have thought about it at some point.

For example: I might be curious about a certain movie, or I might've thought about eating at new restaurant. But just because I thought about it doesn't mean I'm gonna do it. It may have seemed interesting until I decided to stick with my usual preferences.

I'll be more surprised than I already am if it turns out Layla's ever secretly had a crush on another girl.
Not showing signs of jealousy is how Layla stays queen bee. Let's remember, while the comic has been around awhile, Nina just had her first birthday of the comic (went from 14 to 15...with a 3 month time skip that allowed them to give her some height a bit more mature look to her)...so it could be this is our first hint of what more is behind Layla.

I realize bi curious doesn't automatically mean she had had or does have a crush on anyone of the same sex. Hence me wondering with the "Brooke" comment on "Mel" Was it just a joke because it was Bi-Curious side or was it implying Layla had a glancing thought of Mel that way.

Well, Abby hasn't really grown to the point where she'll show much interest in a romantic partner, plus, we don't know much about her.

I grew up under unusual circumstances, but it's okay...I don't tend to have to deal with people very much anyway.

I love scenarios like these. :D Love them!

I have to admit, I'm having a bit of a flashback to Haley in Order of the Stick, though.

This version of Brooke, like the real Brooke, gets attracted to beautiful girls who don't always have beautiful personalities.

What world are you referring to, exactly? Last I checked in our world, there are 5 countries that apply the death penalty for homosexuality and...0 countries that apply the death penalty for heterosexuality. Virtually every established quality of life metric comes out in favor of heterosexuals over homosexuals.

That's true, we don't see her do much aside from teasing Teddy.

That was my point in linking them. Abby is VERY clearly showing "an interest".

Layla's not that bad, she's actually pretty nice to be around once anyone actually gets to know her. Even Brooke's seen that much.

And she fell for Ace. I know you said "girls", but you gotta admit, he's a nice guy and he generally means well. So I'd say Brooke's had good tastes, so far.


edit: Looking at the 2nd link again, Layla openly admitted to being jealous of Chloe's bust size and I'm reminded of the time she expressed her jealousy when Dio was fawning over Ash and Nina (though she denied it in Nina's case). So it seems she's only hidden her jealousy towards Mel... for whatever reason.
