** Similarly, [[MrImagination Nathaniel]] is [[HopelessSuitor interested in Marinette]], and then [[LovesMyAlterEgo Ladybug]], but at the end of "Reverser", he's shown to be close with [[StraightGay Marc]]. Becomes significantly less ambiguous in "Representation" from season 5, where Marc and Nath are having a private moment at the end-of-year dance when Marinette accidentally runs into them.

** While Kagami was first introduced as a RomanticFalseLead for Adrien, her very first episode also sees her getting flustered when she first meets Ladybug, and in "Heart Hunters", she does not seem at all annoyed when Ladybug interrupts her AlmostKiss with Adrien to carry her off to a nearby rooftop. And in "Protection", she gives an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove for both Adrien ''and'' Marinette.

** In "Lisa the Drama Queen", [[Characters/TheSimpsonsLisaSimpson Lisa Simpson]] had a PseudoRomanticFriendship with a girl named Juliet--no surprise, since this story is a parody of the movie ''Heavenly Creatures''. And according to "Holidays of Future Passed" (which probably isn't canon) Lisa had at least three girlfriends -- two at the same time -- in college before marrying Milhouse. In "Mr. Lisa's Opus", Lisa's roommate seems to want to be "more than a friend", but we never learn if Lisa's interested. In the credits of "Mother and Child Reunion" when Lisa asked if any of the vision of the future is true, the oracle (Nate Silver) said, among other things, that Lisa will have 47% chance of a boyfriend and 72% chance of a girlfriend, Lisa is ecstatic about the odds (not at all bothered about the possibility of being a lesbian).

* As in other examples featuring this pairing, ''WesternAnimation/HarleyQuinn2019'' wrestles with this - although in this case, it's mostly only ambiguous is Ivy is bisexual or is a lesbian (Harley is probably bi, with her MadLove for the Joker and her admitted feelings for Ivy. It's unclear if she's had other same-sex attractions in the past of if it's just Ivy). Ivy seems to be trying to convince herself she has genuine love for Kiteman in early seasons. She also demonstrates a crush on Catwoman. The most likely conclusion is that they're both bisexual.

** Lynn Sr. may be married to Rita, but he's been shown to have a thing for other men on occasion. In "Study Muffin" from the main series, Mr. Loud joins the sisters in on stalking Hugh, although it's PlayedForLaughs. Since he's a bit of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and BumblingDad, it can be inferred that this was just him acting on bicurious impulse. This is made even more obvious in "The Guy Who Makes You Fly" from ''The Really Loud House'', where he and Leni's boyfriend Chase have a thing for each other, rollerblading, watching the clouds, and playing cowbell together. They even have a ridiculously lengthy ritual together, and Lincoln and Clyde even outright refer to them as in a love triangle with Leni. Lincoln and Clyde are forced to untangle the love triangle by introducing Lynn Sr. to Chase's dad, Chase Sr., and ''they'' end up having a similar bond.

** In some episodes Duffman is shown to be gay, but in one of his first appearances it's revealed that he lied to a buxom blonde bartender to get her to sleep with him. He also mentions having two kids and when he was shot by Frank Grimes Jr. he said "I love you, Doris" before losing consciousness. Much like Milhouse, the writers can't seem to decide whether Duffman is straight, gay, or bi, though given that Duffman is a character played by multiple actors, the answer could very well be "all of the above".
