DA. I don't think interpreting Rey as queer or asexual is misogynist in the slightest, and I'd be very happy if canon went in that direction. And I definitely don't think people have a responsibility to crusade for the most progressive pairing out there. But if you're going to talk about representation, it's worth noting that while straight pairings predominate in media, positively portrayed interracial relationships are still relatively rare and a positive thing in their own right, even if they're straight.
(But of course it doesn't have to be a contest. People can ship and headcanons what they like, provided they don't try to force others to do the same, and Finn, Poe, and Rey are all great, so any combination of them in canon would make me happy.)
