Apparently, it's a Word of Gay thing, but the actress outright said it's her opinion, not that of the writers. So no, not the trope, as there was no effort to hide it during the writing process.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Looking through Dezz Marie 95's edit history, it seems that Hide Your Lesbians is not the only trope where they've added this.

By now, it should be clear to all except the most dense of us that sheep are secretly conspiring to kill us all and steal our pants.

I do remember Haley mentioning kissing a girl at a club, but she was trying to invoke Girl on Girl Is Hot.

Haley mentions making out with girls at a few points, but it mostly seems to reinforce the image that she's a wild party girl, rather than any attempt at gay/bi-ness

^ Right. The example I was thinking of was from an episode where she got a job as a social media influencer and was trying to promote a club. Her kissing out with other girls was her trying to attract guys. That's not proof that the character is bisexual.

The Word of Saint Paul that she's bi is still worth noting, but sounds like it's not textual canon. So it's not erasure to not bring it up in the text, because it wasn't in the text first.

That's definitely something we should trope. I just don't think we should treat the character as bisexual. Also, do we have a trope for when someone pretends to be Bi or gay to attract other people?

^ You probably want Girl on Girl Is Hot, or maybe A Threesome Is Hot

Or Fanservice in general when it's added purely for gratuitous effect
