Why would Adele do that if she's supposedly "gay"?

Seriously, she comes out as possibly gay in the film and then all of a sudden feels unhappy and then has sex with a guy. Really?! Come on! If she's going to cheat on Emma, then it would have been more realistic and accurate for her to cheat with women only. It's just making queers look bad, and a lot of lesbians were understandably, upset about it. Although there have been people who have said that she was still very much in the closet to most other people and she felt ashamed of herself for liking women during the time she was with Emma and that's why she did what she did, and even while she was sexual with him, she was completely not reacting to him at all. She was almost numb the whole time. But STILL! Doing that is terrible for the queer community. Good grief! Movies and shows that have gay men and women all of a sudden do something sexual with people of the opposite sex for no reason is just plain offensive and annoying.

Women fake their sexuality all the time.

It’s sad that you have no clue about bisexuality, but it seems that sexuality has passed you by completely.

I really believe that Adele had the affair with her male colleague only to hurt Emma and what's more hurtful in a lesbian relationship? Sleeping with a man. It's complete immaturity on Adele's part, but let's face it, she was not as mature, or as secure in herself as Emma was. Intellectually Adele was not on the same wave length as Emma and this caused her immense insecurity. She believed, as we the audience did too, that Emma was having an affair so I believe that this was just pay back.
