Swap Willow's gender preferences around - say she slept with girls until she met Oz, and most people would say she was bi, no matter how loudly she proclaimed her het'ness.
It's not entirely unknown for a person to start off identifying as sraight, discover an attraction for the same sex, then with all the enthusiasm of youth loudly proclaim themselves to be gay, and then later discover that they still fancy the opposite sex as well.
I don't think it helps that gay/queer has - quite rightly - become a political identity.
NB That's not to say gay is automatically a "phase", just that sexuallity isn't always neatly binary.
