Quoting from this interview with Dan Didio:

In addition to Batwoman, Apollo and Midnighter, you’re also introducing a female bisexual African American superhero in Voodoo. Was it a conscious decision to introduce characters from across the LGBT spectrum?

Yes. What we really wanted to do was show the diversity of our audience across the line of our books. Right now we have such a wide fan base and we wanted to create characters and stories that really reflected [that] fan base.

...

Gay League has posed the question of whether Voodoo was previously bisexual, but I'm asking whether they mean Priss at all. Because screw who she screws, since when is she African-American? That and the use of the word "introducing" makes me hope they're introducing a new character as part of Voodoo's support cast.

I can guarantee you that if Pris is bi, it's a very very recent thing and seldom if ever referenced *points at hoard of WildCATs* and really, we both know exactly where the emphasis has always been with only minor distractions.

His name is Hadrian.

I could try and do the research and see if there's something I'm forgetting or if it's a more recent development as things go, but let's be honest; if Pris was bi from the get-go it sure as hell wasn't something being played on.

As for the African-American part, I also don't recall ever being explictly told her human genetic slushpile (the Kherubim/Daemonite hybrid part predictably gets the lion's share of the attention in the books) but given she's 1) obviously not pasty-pale Caucasian, 2) associated with New Orleans (though born elsewhere I believe) and 3) actually does use voudoun (granted this is Wildstorm, so it does involve zombies among other things) I think it's pretty safe to say that she's African-American or at least majority so as far as the human bits are concerned.

"Ambiguously Brown" is, I believe, the controlling idea when it comes to the "human" part of Pris' heritage.
