Does having a waifu make me lesbein?

So... I have an anime waifu and I am a straight female. People have told me that only men or lesbians have waifus but I see nothing wrong with it? People keep asking if I am gay bc I have a waifu but I'm not.I dont think about my waifu or any girls sexually she is just an ani,e character J really like/admire, i've just always though it was normal to have a waifu as a female?So does this make me gay or bi because people keep telling my it is not right?
