I think you're referring to this, dated december 2010:

I was very excited to play, and I think it was important to play a character who was still discovering herself just because yes, like you said, there are a lot of characters now in television who are out. But I think there weren’t so many that were in my age group and even in other age brackets that were still trying to figure themselves out. And I think because I’ve gotten such great response from the fans and people around the world that have said, “Finally like somebody I can relate to because I’m confused. I don’t know what to label myself. Am I gay? Am I straight? Am I bi?” And I think with Emily’s character, she wasn’t trying to define herself. She didn’t feel like she had to put a label on herself. And I think that’s what makes it unique, and I think that’s what makes it so great is that she didn’t have to explain herself to anybody. Yes, she didn’t come out and say, “I’m gay or I’m bi.” I think it’s just kind of cool to have a character on TV who has discovered herself and doesn’t want to quite put herself in one category.

She never said Emily was gay or bi. She said back then that Emily was still struggling to figure that out... As the show progressed (and with Emily's recent shock that Maya slept with a guy) I'm 100% sure that Emily is gay. Either way, I don't know why this is such a huge issue here, she is who she is, doesn't matter who she falls far... even if the category of people she could be falling for is 100% female :D
