That doesn't mean she can't be romantically attracted to someone if she chooses. Crystal makes it seem like love at first sight but I'm sure more time passed than that to form a relationship. its not like they married them they just cared about them.
I read her as being homoromantic, but I think there's also a legit reading for her to be aromantic as well. I know that an asexual person can be attracted to someone romantically. I am a biromantic ace!
My issue is that Crystal seems to be pushing Rei, along with the rest of the Senshi, into heteronormativity. Usagi feel in love with the prince of Earth, while her guardians were suddenly paired up with his knights. It's like the women had to paired with their male counterparts. Whereas, in the manga, Rei had no interest in sex or men. She even pledged a vow of chastity to Serenity in the Silver Millennium because that's what she wanted.
This is forced heterosexuality at it's worst, and I find it odd that you're so eager to defend it.
