I recently read Uncanny X-Force v3, issue 7. I have no idea how I got hold of this or why I was tempted to read it, but I'm glad I did.
The premise is that Psylocke is living with a guy named Fantomex, who was recently split into 3 different bodies through a cloning process I think. We now have Fantomex, Weapon XIII and Cluster (the only female clone) - each version got different parts of the original Fantomex's personality. Psylocke was in a relationship with Fantomex before he got split into 3, and she continued her relationship with this Fantomex's body, believing him to be the same personality as he was before the split.
However, it turns out this Fantomex is a bit of a dick, which leads to these 2 scenes from issue 7:
I have no idea what Psylocke regards her sexuality as. I have no idea if she has had relationships with women before. What I like about these pages is that once she realises which personality she loves, she doesn't hesitate to act on her feelings. There are no negative thoughts around Cluster being female, it's just Psylocke and Cluster, acting on their feelings. They love each other, they've realised and acknowledged it, that's all there is to it. Beautiful.
