Okay, time for a little background information!
Gargoyles reproduce by imbuing their magical energies into the ground, and forming that earth into a new little gargoyle that the parents raise. Nothing is getting inserted into anyone, which is part of the reason Maeve was horrified and alarmed back in issue 2.
However.
It was important to me that Veronica's sexuality not be the reason she was eventually completely shunned from gargoyle society. I wanted the issue to be her humanity, the tipping point to be something absolutely trivial to us but not to the gargoyles. Homophobia felt too mundane, too obvious, too real-world. Also, I thought it would be nice to see a culture to whom that just wasn't important.
So, in Mount Gargoyle, one gargoyle of each of the four elements, irrespective of their gender, participates in creating a child. Generally two of the participants are a romantic couple, who then raise the child. Maeve was raised by two of her parents (both women, as she says) and she shares a third parent with Veronica, who was unfortunately bounced around between her four parents, none of whom were romantically attached to each other. Which explains a lot.
As for "omnisexual," Maeve means that Veronica has sex with other species than her own, which is not exactly what that term means, but we don't actually have a word for that. At least not a polite one.
