Well considering the only same-sex or non-traditional relationships we see on BSG are pretty much afterthoughts, as was Caprica,...it's no surprise you'd assume it was a man. Context is pretty key, I think.
Also though... I think Kara just likes MEN. She doesn't have (that we can see) a lot of relationships with women in general, and definitely not many that are non-adversarial with women. And maybe I'm just too straight or whatever, but I never really saw any of the tension with Kat or any of the other women on the show as sexual tension. At least not mutual sexual tension. (I could fully believe that the women of Galactica have crushes on Starbuck, I just have never really seen any appreciation from her towards them.) *shrugs* It's just not the way I read it. But I'm not much for a hate-sex dynamic anyway. I kinda love Kara/Lee IN SPITE of that dynamic, not because of it.
