| 13 | '''Bob:''' No. Maybe. Wait, I-I'm straight. I mean, I'm mostly straight.\ |
| 14 | '''Deli Guy:''' Let's grab a coffee! ''No, let's just have sex!'' Ah, this feels so great!\ |

| 18 | [[LoveTropes Romantic relationships]], {{sex|Tropes}}, and romantic and sexual attraction are staples of fiction, and -- unless you're dealing with UsefulNotes/{{asexual|ity}} and UsefulNotes/{{aromantic}} characters or a NoHuggingNoKissing setting -- characters will express at least some desire for it. The vast majority of the time, male characters are attracted to women, and female characters are attracted to men, there are some [[QueerAsTropes homosexual characters]], and very rarely you'll get a bisexual character (unless it's a QueerRomance, where naturally the last two categories are more common), but others aren't so definite. Sometimes there's a male/female character who doesn't express interest in women/men but does seem to show interest in people the same gender as themself; they're AmbiguouslyGay. Then there are characters that seemingly show romantic and/or sexual interest in people of multiple genders; they're Ambiguously Bi. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Most of the time, this character's interest in people of a different gender is explicitly stated or written to be obvious, while their interest in people of the same gender is subtle or downplayed, but the inverse does exist. Characters with a {{Heterosexual Life Partner|s}} are especially prone to this. Sure, they might have an actual love interest of a different gender or try to get a love interest through flirting and having crushes on men/women. Still, the relationship with their HLP often has a romantic/sexual element as well. GettingCrapPastTheRadar can be a reason for this trope, the writers wanting to include hints a character is gay or bi but with enough heterosexuality to appease the MoralGuardians. |
| 21 | |
| 22 | It should be noted that what makes a character Ambiguously Bi and what differentiates them from UsefulNotes/{{Bisexual}} characters is largely a matter of opinion. The character does not have to officially be declared bi to qualify, and as NoBisexuals demonstrates, even if a character is clearly bisexual to the audience (or at least some segments of it), much of the time the writers don’t consider it as a possibility. Obviously, some form of attraction to people of different genders is required, but the exact extent varies; for some people, an offhand comment or a prolonged glance can be enough; for others, nothing short of onscreen sex can suggest bisexuality as a possibility. Characters who express IfItsYouItsOkay further muddle the issue, as by definition, that makes a character bisexual, but there ''are'' otherwise straight and gay people in real life who do have exceptions to the "rule" of their sexuality. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | This can overlap with WordOfGay if the character's bisexuality remains ambiguous within the work itself, but is directly declared elsewhere by a creator. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | Compare/contrast AmbiguouslyGay, AmbiguousGenderIdentity, DepravedBisexual and BiWildered. See also PseudoRomanticFriendship. A supertrope to AlcoholInducedBisexuality. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | '''A Administrivia/{{No Recent Examples|please}} rule applies to this trope'''. Examples for episodic works shouldn't be added until '''end of season''' for the season introducing the ambiguity (or after '''3 months''', for episodic works without seasons). This is to allow time for the story to develop the character and resolve ambiguity. There is no waiting time for non-episodic works. |

Over the course of the story, the protagonist, Florinda, presents as both male and female, and is later [[SupernaturallyValidatedTransPerson supernaturally granted a male body by Jesus]]. The princess loves and accepts Florinda under all circumstances. |

Gold-Tree escapes by marrying a foreign prince. The evil queen tracks her down and poisons her. Thinking she's dead, the prince marries another woman. Then one day, the second princess wanders into Gold-Tree's chamber, finds the thorn and revives her, the role stereotypically associated with the comatose heroine's eventually marriage-partner. The second princess kills the evil queen, the prince decides to [[MarryThemAll marry them both]], and Gold-Tree lives HappilyEverAfter with her husband and her wife. |

| 50 | * ''Fanfic/AbraxasHrodvitnon'': In this ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' fanfiction, Dr. Ling drops a casual hint at one point that [[Characters/AbraxasHrodvitnonMonsterX Vivienne Graham]] might be into both sexes. Word of God has further supported the notion, noting that this coupled with Dr. Ling's emotional reaction to learning that [[TwoBeingsOneBody half of Monster X]] is actually Vivienne could be signs that Ling and Vivienne are AmicableExes. |
| 51 | * Kaworu in ''Fanfic/AdviceAndTrust''. He only ever shows romantic interest in Rei during the story proper, but [[spoiler:he mentioned that he loved Shinji in at least one alternate timeline. The ambiguity comes down to how much those alternate Kaworu's can be considered to be him.]] |
| 52 | * In ''Fanfic/BeforeTheDawn'', Mike Newton, who was always shown to have feelings for Bella Swan in canon, quickly develops an attraction to Nahuel when they meet, although it is never established if Mike has had feelings for other men or if Nahuel is just unique. |
| 53 | * The ''Franchise/{{Naruto}}'' fanfic ''FanFic/ChasingTheShadow'' explores this, both Haku and Naruto having somewhat questionable sexual orientations. The author discusses it at times. |
| 54 | * ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'': [[spoiler:In chapter 4, Swift-Pad mentions "sort of" having a special someone back home. In chapter 16, the Bearers and Spike learn he was referring to Maxilla, a biologically male (but mentally genderfluid) changeling who was in disguise as a she-wolf when Swift-Pad first met he/she, and has no problem being with either gender. Swift-Pad himself explains that he is still attracted to them, but at this time is uncertain of if the attraction is to the form, the gender, or the person themselves. He ultimately chooses to make their romance permanent]]. |
| 55 | * In the ''Fanfic/InfinityCrisis'' spin-off ''Sins, Sirens and Strife'', Darcy Lewis states "Shoot, now I'm gay" when she first sees Wonder Woman, and later implies that she has engaged in at least one threesome. |
| 56 | * In ''Fanfic/LostInCamelot'', Morgause notes that she took female lovers when she was younger as she grew up with only women for company, and still takes the occasional female lover even if she also enjoys the pleasures of men. By contrast, while Morgana is in a relationship with Merlin and Bo, she has explicitly stated that Bo is "[[IfItsYouItsOK the only woman [she] will ever love]]" rather than expressing an interest in women as a whole. |
| 57 | * ''Fanfic/JuniorOfficers'' |
| 58 | ** Donna is mentioned to have felt something for a girl named Martha, but [[spoiler:her kiss with Deborah]] implies that she doesn't truly swing that way. |
| 59 | ** Deborah has shown interest in both men (she pines for Shellington) and women ([[spoiler:she kissed Donna]]), but nothing is ever confirmed. |
| 60 | * Creator/{{letmetellyouaboutmyfeels}}'s ''Fanfic/MCURewrites'' portray Steve Rogers/Captain America as this: in ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/6461902 Age of Ultron: Redux]]'', he acknowledges what he could have had with Peggy Carter and a number of characters in-story wonder if his relationship with James "Bucky" Barnes/The Winter Soldier has the potential to be more than platonic. In ''[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/11652534 Captain America: Ghosts of HYDRA]]'', while being interviewed about Bucky Barnes, Steve states that being asked about his friend would be like asking a wife to testify against her husband. WordOfGod states she intentionally wrote the story this way so that the reader could interpret their relationship as platonic or romantic. |
| 61 | * In the ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' series ''Fanfic/TheOneWithTheAngelicFace'', Angelus being cursed with a soul and turned into a woman has interesting consequences for Buffy's relationship with 'Angela'; |
| 62 | ** Angela recalls Angelus having been a ‘lover’ of men and women in his time, but he was naturally into sex as a means of control and asserting his dominance rather than actual love, leaving Angela herself conflicted about her feelings for Buffy as she still thinks like a man with eighteenth-century morals (Liam would have enjoyed being with two women at once, but the idea of two women on their own would have been weird at best from his perspective). |
| 63 | ** For Buffy, she spends some time uncertain about her feelings for Angela, unable to reconcile her appreciation for Angela as a person with her hatred of Angelus, but despite acknowledging that she is attracted to cute boys and can't find Angelus attractive even when picturing Angela in his male body, [[spoiler:Buffy eventually realises that she has fallen in love with Angela]]. |
| 64 | * The ''Franchise/HarryPotter'' fanfic ''Fanfic/ThePowerOfSeven'' has some interesting variations of this as Harry finds himself forced to form a 'harem' with seven witches to get the horcrux out of his head. In the course of the fic, he bonds with Ginny, Hermione, Luna, Demelza Robbins, Susan Bones, Katie Bell and Fleur in that order. For the most part, only Ginny and Luna show an interest in doing anything with the other girls without Harry involved, but there are certain 'exceptional circumstances' for the other five. As the bonds are formed, it becomes clear that Ginny and Luna are fully bisexual, Hermione and Susan are fully straight but comfortable watching Harry with the others, and Katie, Demelza, and Fleur are somewhere in between (in rough order of "most to least straight," as it were). |
| 65 | ** Ginny finds that she enjoys watching Harry with other girls, to the point that she gets turned on while looking at Luna naked and picturing Harry’s reaction to her, and makes sure that Hermione is watching when she and Harry are completing the first stage of the ritual. This becomes more explicit when Ginny's link to Harry allows her to 'observe' Harry's first time with Hermione from Harry's perspective, inspiring Ginny to fantasize about a threesome with herself, Harry and Hermione, which becomes reality the following chapter even if she and Hermione don't do much with each other directly. |
| 66 | *** For a time, Ginny tells herself that her enjoyment is just based on seeing other girls react to Harry; in chapter 25, she muses that while she hasn't explicitly 'inherited' Harry's attraction to girls, she derived emotional pleasure from helping Luna pleasure Harry, and gets peripherally turned on by sharing Harry's reaction to looking at Demelza naked, to the point that she makes Demelza eat her out when they're alone in the dorms. However, Chapter 35 sees Ginny finally admit that she is at least somewhat bi on her own when she acknowledges that she fell victim to Fleur's allure when she unintentionally witnessed an encounter between Bill and Fleur back at the Burrow long before she formed a bond with Harry. By Chapter 67, [[spoiler:Ginny has basically acknowledged her attraction to women to the extent that Harry fulfils a fantasy of himself and a woman double-teaming Ginny as a reward for Ginny's recent efforts, with Fleur being the third partner]]. |
| 67 | ** Initially Luna just has no problem stripping down to engage in a mutual masturbation session with Ginny, but later she explicitly asks that Ginny be present the first time she and Harry have sex. |
| 68 | *** During a later conversation with Hermione, Luna explicitly (for her, anyway) states that she is turned on by looking at Hermione naked, and chapter 39 [[spoiler:features the girls arranging an orgy to celebrate the end of the year, with Ginny and Luna already naked and masturbating each other by the time Harry arrives]]. As Fleur becomes part of the harem, Luna's observations make it clear that she's turned on by Fleur, and chapter 55 [[spoiler:sees Luna kissing and stripping down Demelza to help console her after her parents' deaths while Katie just watches the others prepare after confirming that she'll be after Demelza]]. |
| 69 | ** Even after Ginny kisses Hermione twice, she does not appear to be independently aroused by the experience, and tells Luna that she isn't explicitly attracted to women on their own. Hermione not being aroused by women is reinforced in chapter 48 when [[spoiler:she is the only one of Harry's existing bond-mates who can just acknowledge that Fleur is beautiful without feeling attracted to her]], Ginny reflecting that Hermione is definitely straight by chapter 67 even after Ginny acknowledges her own interest in women pre-dates the bond with Harry. |
| 70 | ** Demelza was fully aware that Harry and Ginny were having sex before she learned about the ritual, and chapters 23-24 feature her watching Harry have sex with Ginny and Katie, but Demelza's thoughts were always focused on Harry's actions and reactions rather than being explicitly aroused by the other girls. In chapter 25, Demelza eats Ginny out while masturbating, but this is clearly demonstrated as an extension of her submission to Harry- Ginny essentially 'acting' as Harry's proxy- rather than Demelza showing any sign that she is sexually attracted to Ginny on her own. Although [[spoiler:she shows an attraction to Fleur later, this only occurs after Demelza bonds with Harry, suggesting that she is more affected by Harry's own feelings for Fleur rather than Demelza liking women on her own]]. |
| 71 | ** While Katie shows no explicit sexual interest in girls, she does encourage Harry to release all over Ginny as she masturbates him herself, and briefly fantasises about licking Ginny's abdomen clean of his release before she decides to just have sex with Harry directly. Chapter 28 sees Katie watch as Demelza has sex with Harry, and even give Demelza advice on how to give a blowjob, but she shows no sign that she is aroused by Ginny and Demelza's own nudity. In chapter 63, at Harry's birthday party, [[spoiler:Fleur gets a bit carried away and unleashes an uncontrolled, unfocused blast of allure, which Harry resists. Katie is impressed, either by the allure or Harry's resistance, and this after it's been established the allure only affects women if they're at least curious. Later, Katie gets extra creative with her time turner, using it to have a threesome with Harry and ''[[ScrewYourself herself]]'']]. |
| 72 | ** Chapter 31 [[spoiler:has all six of the girls currently active in the harem spend the night with Harry and then spend the morning pleasuring him, but it is made clear that the girls were all pleasuring ''Harry'' with none of them doing anything to one of the others even after they start removing their nightclothes]]. Chapter 39-40 [[spoiler:feature another orgy, and Ginny and Luna starting it off by masturbating each other until Harry arrives, but then the girls start focusing all their sexual desires on Harry.]] |
| 73 | ** Come Chapter 59, Fleur notes that she's at least curious about other women. Her Veela half doesn't react to them in the same primal way it does to males, but as a human, she can ponder and be curious and wonder how her allure affects them. She's learned- through Ginny and Luna- that it can, but only if they're interested, or at least curious, themselves. |
| 74 | * In ''WebVideo/{{RWBY ABRG}}'', it's implied that [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Cardin]] is attracted to Jaune. Though Velvet is his main play-thing, he seems flirty towards Jaune as well. |
| 75 | * "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/51882607/ Superman: House of El]]" features Clark and Kara growing up in Smallville and exploring a sexual relationship to help them master control of their powers to avoid hurting humans if they have sex with other people. This leads to Clark's girlfriend Lana Lang learning their secret and watching them practise, but while Lana learns that she likes to watch Clark have sex with other women she is undecided if this means she has any attraction to women, as she focuses on how she enjoys seeing the women react to Clark rather than any interest in the women on their own. |
| 76 | * Downplayed in the ''Series/{{Supernatural}}''/''Film/JennifersBody'' crossover ''Fanfic/TrustDoesntRust''; Jennifer and Needy’s bond is defined as a sisterly one without the explicitly sexual elements used in the film, and [[spoiler:Sam is briefly ‘attracted’ to Dean due to Dean using a sigil to turn Jennifer’s powers against her that basically turned Dean into an incubus]]. |
| 77 | * [[WebAnimation/{{RWBY}} Cinder]] in ''Fanfic/ValesUnderground'' makes her attraction to men very open and shut (as well as her attraction to [[SexIsViolence violence]]). However, she also starts a relationship with Emerald when the latter admits her feelings. She is also willing to have sex with her. The issue is that her thoughts are described as Cinder only entering a relationship with her to toy with her. Without her showing any attraction to other women, it makes it difficult to tell if she really is attracted to women. [[spoiler: The fact that her mother molested her when she was younger complicates things further -- especially since Cinder resents her mother because of it.]] |
| 78 | * In ''Fanfic/TheChroniclesOfKaraiGettingHerShitTogether'', Casey and Raphael tend to spend a lot of time together alone. [[spoiler:There is even a BrainBleach moment where they do a literal dick-measuring contest.]] That said, when Donatello and April become an official couple, Casey conspires to get them to break up. |
| 79 | * ''Fanfic/TheLightningStrike''; |
| 80 | ** WordOfGod confirms that Skye is bisexual with a preference for men, as she enjoys being the submissive in a dom/sub dynamic and so for the most part men make it easier for her to submit to them even if she'd be open to having Natasha act as her mistress. |
| 81 | ** Natasha later notes to Harry that she wasn't initially attracted to women on her own, but has developed an appreciation for them after some past missions required her to seduce female targets once she opened herself up to the idea. |
| 82 | ** Of Harry's other partners, Wanda has shown that she enjoys experiencing Harry's encounters with other partners through using her powers to tap into his experience of the sexual act, but she shows no sign of being interested in doing things with the other women on her own merit. Likewise, while [[spoiler:Maria, Shuri and Yelena have no problem with other women watching them have sex with Harry, they show no interest in doing anything with the other women directly, beyond Maria licking Harry's seed off Natasha's fingers when offered]]. |
| 83 | * The MCU fic "[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/37186546/ Tingle]]" features Peter Parker, Yelena Belova and Kate Bishop begin a polyamorous relationship, but while Kate is comfortable in her attraction to both sexes, although Yelena is equally willing to eat Kate out or give Peter a blowjob, she explicitly states that she's not a fan of penetrative sex, prefering to peg Peter instead. |
| 84 | * In ''Series/Charmed1998'', Prue Halliwell was only shown dating men, but the fic "[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5632882/1/Sweet-Seduction Sweet Seduction]]" and its sequel see Prue fall in love with a woman, Delilah, the witch/demon daughter of the Source (Delilah was mistreated and abused by her father for years until she escaped). While Prue is happy with Delilah, at least one scene shows that she still has strong feelings for Andy Trudeau, visiting his grave at the conclusion to say goodbye to his memory but confident that he'd be happy she's found someone else. |
| 85 | * ''Fanfic/HeavensLight'': (a crossover between ''WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}}'') [[HotGypsyWoman Esmeralda]]. At the Festival of Fools, when she's doing her sensual dance, instead of sliding onto [[HangingJudge Frollo's]] lap, as per canon, she slides over to [[TheGoodQueen Queen Susanne]], and [[AlmostKiss leans in towards her]], before kissing the Queen's nose instead and pulling away, making the Queen blush, since she was attending the Festival with her husband. In the sequel, ''Fanfic/SevenDaysInCorona'', she sidles up to the Queen again at the Festival (this time, in the presence of [[WesternAnimation/{{Brave}} the Dunbroch royal family]]), but instead of kissing her, she just says "Not this year." Whether Esmeralda feels genuine attraction to the Queen or is just putting on a show, we know for a fact that she's attracted to men, because she gets together with [[LoveableRogue Flynn Rider/Eugene Fitzherbert]] later on in the first story. |
| 86 | * ''Fanfic/ARabbitAmongWolves'' |
| 87 | ** Sun isn't remotely bothered when a crossdressing Jaune reveals himself to be a guy and continues calling him pretty. |
| 88 | ** Jaune himself blushes a bit when Sun winks at him and continues to coo over him. |
| 89 | * ''Fanfic/HarbingerFinmonster'': (crossover between ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' and ''WesternAnimation/ParaNorman'') Courtney Babcock. At the start of the story, she's dating JerkJock Dash Baxter, but blushes when Ember [=McLain=] (a lesbian [[OurBansheesAreLouder banshee]]) winks at her. |
| 90 | * Koopa Red in ''Fanfic/WithBigShellsAndWings'' frequently hits on women, but in one of the final chapters, he accidentally reveals that he looked up the size of a Yoshi's penis. When questioned on this, he tries to explain himself away to no avail. |
| 91 | -->'''Koopa Red:''' But my dick is big! I-I mean, it's huge! Seriously, a Yoshi's dick isn't even as big as mine.\ |
| 92 | '''Koopa Black:''' And just ''how'' would you know how big a Yoshi's dick is?\ |
| 93 | '''Koopa Red:'''(Blushing) Err… the Internet told me…\ |
| 94 | '''Female Koopa Soldier:''' And just ''why'' were you looking that up?\ |
| 95 | '''Koopa Red:'''(Sweating) Boredom? |
| 96 | * ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'': In the usual anime, Ash Ketchum is known to have many romantic scenes with his female companions (even though he's oblivious to it all) but the story has him willing to "get together" with Trip after the latter confessed his feelings for him. |
| 97 | * ''Fanfic/ThePokemonSquad'': RM was in a relationship with May during the first half of the series run, but has also shown signs of attraction towards RM's Friend, RM's Friend's Twin, [=PlatinumMage=], and MM, often flirting with them. Eventually {{subverted|Trope}}, as the authors confirmed in an interview that RM is, in fact, one of the few characters who is straight, with his attraction towards males being a joke. This was later touched upon in "RM's Gay Old Time", where RM admits to Ash that he's straight. |
| 98 | * ''VideoGame/MarioTheMusicBox'': It can be inferred that Marchionne's relationship with Riba can be considered something other than mutual tolerance of one another before Marchionne met Aurora/Misery. And considering how his reincarnation Mario is [[AdaptationalSexuality confirmed to be bisexual]] in this universe... |
| 99 | * ''WebVideo/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries'': MAS Rainbow Dash hooks up with a (monkey) man in ''Rainbow Dash Presents: My Little Dashie'', solidifying them as being attracted to men. However, she has more than a few LesYay moments with Pinkie, and the RDP for ''A Beautiful Day In Equestria'' ends with her singing an entire song about wanting an 'Auburn Lady'. |
| 100 | [[/folder]] |
| 101 | |
| 102 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 103 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheAngryBirdsMovie'': Chuck. His first idea on how to solve the loss of the eggs is to procreate to make some more, and he is very much down with that idea, but earlier on he has a weird fantasy about the Mighty Eagle, to say the least. |
| 104 | * Lumiere from '' WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' is ''very'' into his feather duster girlfriend and they’re even HoldingHands at the end of the movie. Yet he was also happy to kiss Cogsworth after they successfully chase off the villagers. |
| 105 | ** Continued in the DirectToVideo sequel '' WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeastTheEnchantedChristmas.'' The audience is introduced to a former female love interest of his (Angelique). Later, he pretends his wick is mistletoe and kisses Cogsworth under it. |
| 106 | * The Goth Kid from ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife''. When introduced to the pictures of La Muerte and Xibalba he called them both "so pretty" in the same dreamy-like fashion. |
| 107 | * ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania'': Griffin greets Dracula by pinching his ass and then calling him irresistible, but meets an invisible woman in the [[WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvania2 sequel]]. |
| 108 | * ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'': Timon and Pumbaa. While they are HeterosexualLifePartners, there is so much blatant HomoeroticSubtext that went on between them. However, they do have crushes on several girls throughout ''WesternAnimation/TimonAndPumbaa''. Pumbaa fits this trope more as he tried to kiss Timon in ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' in the Valentine's day special. |
| 109 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'': It's been pointed out throughout the webosphere that Shang's presumably slowly-building interest in Mulan began when she was assumed to be a male soldier. |
| 110 | * Pitch Black in ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians''. If his backstory where when he was human, he had a wife and a daughter is in the movie-verse. He also flirts a bit in the official prequel comic with Tooth during his introduction. However, he also seems to be very touchy-feely with Jack. In the Antarctica scene, he always claimed that he and Jack were the same, touching him when he proposed him to join his side (and in one of early artworks, he even strokes his jaw with a smug smile) and is hurt by his rejection. Furthermore, he even called Bunnymund "cute" for mocking him, making Bunnymund slightly scared (though Bunny was probably just worried Pitch might try to harm him). |
| 111 | * Puss in Boots from ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' flirts with Fiona and has a female love interest in [[WesternAnimation/PussInBoots2011 his]] [[WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish spin-off films]], yet comments on Prince Charming's handsomeness by saying that he is "dreamy". |
| 112 | * In ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'', Priya swoons over both Devon and the members of 4*Town (with Jesse being her favourite) just as much as her friends, but also really, ''really'' gets along well with the goth chick at Tyler's party. Her friends seem to notice this, too, as Mei intentionally brings the goth to Priya, and the friends then encourage Priya while the two dance, smirking and nudging each other as they watch. [[https://twitter.com/andreagoh/status/1502744974336544770 This was confirmed after release by Pixar artist Andrea Goh.]] |

| 114 | |
| 115 | [[folder:Films -- Live-Action]] |
| 116 | * ''Film/FortyEightHrs'': Lisa and Casey sleep with Billy and Ganz, and are implied to be sleeping with each other. |
| 117 | * Morse in ''Film/Alien3''. When the prisoners all find out that Ripley has crashed on their prison planet, Morse declares that he has taken a vow of celibacy "...and that includes women." Later in the Assembly Cut of the film, Morse is [[spoiler:finally persuaded to let Golic out of his restraints]] when Golic says to him "I love you, Morse." |
| 118 | * ''Film/AllTheBoysLoveMandyLane'': Chloe is into Garth, and heavily implied to be into Mandy. |
| 119 | * ''Film/{{Alto}}'': It's never made entirely clear if Frankie is lesbian or bi, given she's got a male fiance at the start before falling for a woman. She seems unsure herself of all this as she'd apparently never been attracted by women before. |
| 120 | * Rosaline in ''Film/AmericanHustle'' is married to Irving and has a son, but she also kissed Sydney. |
| 121 | * ''Film/{{Anna}}'': Was Anna ever actually attracted to Maude, or just using her as a tool? She also has competing male LoveInterests, indicating she's likely bisexual if this was legitimate attraction. |
| 122 | * ''Film/AvalancheSharks'': Jenna is seen eyeing guys with her friends and acting a bit flirty a few times but has a lot of scenes that could indicate an attraction to girls. She makes a toast to "Girls Gone Wild" at one point (although it's unclear if she was serious, or meant that in a sexual sense if she was), holds hands with Lacy once, spends a lot of time in the hot tub with just two other girls in bikinis (although Lacy simply makes a toast to her "best friends, ever" implying a lack of romantic feelings at least on her part), and shows a clear lack of interest when Randy flirts with her (although this is implied to be because of a crude double innuendo Randy made). |
| 123 | * ''Film/{{AWOL}}'': Rayna is married to a man, with two daughters. As a waitress she flirts as well with men for tips, but has an affair with another woman, Joey, while it's left unclear if she actually likes men or not. |
| 124 | * ''Film/TheBatman2022'': Selina Kyle is very affectionate and tender with both Annika and Batman and calls them both [[AffectionateNickname "baby"]] (notably, she calls no one else in the film this), but she only kisses Batman. |
| 125 | * ''Film/BatmanForever'': The Riddler is obsessed with Bruce Wayne and he has a large collection of [[FashionVictimVillain green outfits with increasing levels of flair]]. He also dons a tiara and other traditionally female bits of jewelry during his and Two-Face's crime spree montage. There are a few hints that he has an interest in women, such as keeping Sugar around as arm candy -- though this is implied to be for show. Edward also arranges to have Chase suggestively chained up on a lounge, with the scene cutting short [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty just as he sidles up next to her...]] |
| 126 | * ''Film/BelowHerMouth'': It's left unclear if Jasmine is a very closeted lesbian, or simply bisexual. Her fiancé thinks the former due to her passionate affair with {{butch lesbian}} Dallas, but Jasmine doesn't seem to know herself. |
| 127 | * ''Film/BloodyBloodyBibleCamp'': Tad is a hound dog who pursues every attractive woman he sees, but [[HaveIMentionedThatIAmHeterosexualToday he has to reassure himself that he has no homosexual desires]]. |
| 128 | * ''Film/BonnieAndBonnie'': Yara rejects the term "lesbian" for herself, but doesn't seem sure of what her sexuality is after being with a woman, though she adds that it doesn't matter as well. |
| 129 | * ''Film/BramStokersDracula'': Lucy most definitely likes men, but some LesYay with Mina takes place most notably when they kiss during a heavy storm in the gardens. |
| 130 | * ''Film/ButImACheerleader'': Joel is sent to [[CureYourGays a conversion therapy camp]] due to liking boys, and is implied to reciprocate fellow camper Graham's faked affection for him. However, it's unclear if the brainwashing got to him, he's lying to get through the program like Graham is, or if he's genuinely into her. |
| 131 | * ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' Captain Renault is definitely interested in women, and certainly not above trading SexForServices (in this case exit visas from Vichy France), but he also claims that if he was a woman, he would be in love with Rick, and several characters make veiled allusions to his "open-mindedness". |
| 132 | * ''Film/CharliesAngels2019'': Sabina is seen to flirt with men and women but it's unclear if her attraction to men is genuine or merely pragmatic. Her saying that her seduction of Johnny in the opening scene was the worst date of her life suggests the latter, and she only seems to notice hot women. |
| 133 | * Karen from ''Theatre/TheChildrensHour''. The movie centers around her and her best friend Martha, [[spoiler:who is later revealed to be gay and in love with her]], being MistakenForGay. Karen is engaged to a man, though her relationship with Martha is full of subtext. Even people in-story think they're too close, no thanks to a child's MaliciousSlander. At the end she wants to run away with Martha [[spoiler:even after Martha's AnguishedDeclarationOfLove]], though it doesn't work out [[spoiler:because Martha is DrivenToSuicide]]. |
| 134 | * ''Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982'': When the heroes are inspecting the cult orgy, Valeria seems equally enthused as Conan and Subotai are at the sight of so many buxom naked women, while she's already become Conan's lover. |
| 135 | * ''Film/{{Confidence}}'': King, the BigBad of the film, comes on to both Jake and Lily, though whether he's attracted to both of them, or is just trying to intimidate both of them (or a combination of both), is the ambiguous part. |
| 136 | * ''Film/DarkHarvest'': Alex is dating Darcy, who thinks she has BelligerentSexualTension with Sean. |
| 137 | * ''Film/DeadHookerInATrunk'': Badass and Junkie are both seen having sex with men, but can't dismiss hiring a female prostitute in a drunken bender. |
| 138 | * ''Film/{{Deathgasm}}'': Medina is Brodie's LoveInterest, and her metal fantasy has heavy lesbian imagery. |
| 139 | * ''Film/DoctorSeries'': |
| 140 | ** ''Film/DoctorInTheHouse1954'': When Mrs. Groaker explains the house rules to her lodgers, she makes sure to let Mr. Williams know that she doesn't approve of male ''or'' female visitors in his room. |
| 141 | ** ''Film/DoctorInTrouble'': When giving Captain Spratt advice to relieve his constipation, Dr. Burke tells him he is not to have any women, before pausing and telling him he is not to have any men, either. |
| 142 | * ''Film/DuckButter'': Nima and Sergio both relate that they had sex or were in relationships with men before. However, as in both cases they did this [[CastingCouch for career advancement]], it isn't clear whether they actually find men attractive. |
| 143 | * ''Film/EloisesLover'': It's left vague as to whether Àsia is attracted by her boyfriend, or indeed men generally. She cares about him, but their relationship (from her at least) is not much different than friends (aside from a few kisses, which he mostly initiates, they aren't intimate onscreen). |
| 144 | * ''Film/FasterPussycatKillKill'': Billie implies that she's bisexual during the whole "AM and FM" speech to Rosie, saying that "one-band broads are a drag". |
| 145 | * ''Film/TheFavourite'': Sarah is HappilyMarried to her husband and her relationship with Anne is clearly at least partially to control her and push her political agenda, but at the same time she does seem to have genuine affection for the monarch. Abigail meanwhile [[spoiler:seems to be ''just'' using Anne in her relationship with the Queen]] and has some interest in Masham, but [[spoiler:can only be bothered to give him a handjob after their marriage, more or less ignoring him subsequently and is at least implied to be using him to increase her station much as she is using Anne.]] Anne herself has been pregnant 17 times and her husband is presumably dead [[note]]He was Prince George of Denmark and he was still alive at the time part of this film was set, though he died of an illness before her[[/note]], and the film doesn't address her relationship with him. Of course, it was expected that monarchs marry and continue the royal line, so the fact that she took a husband doesn't preclude her from being a lesbian — it could have simply been her duty. |
| 146 | * ''Film/FeastOfLove'': It isn't clear if Kathryn ever found men attractive, or was just kidding herself before she fell for Jenny. |
| 147 | * ''Film/FemmeFatale2002'': It isn't really clear if Laure is attracted to men, women, both or neither. Though she deftly seduces Veronica and then Bardo, Laure uses them both times to get what she wants, so it's possible she's just [[PragmaticPansexuality willing to have sex with both for manipulation]]. |
| 148 | * ''Film/TheFinalGirls'': Kurt hits on literally every woman he sees, but briefly mentions that he thinks gay men have a cool lifestyle. |
| 149 | * ''Film/FourWeddingsAndAFuneral'': Fiona, when a guest at Bernard and Lydia's wedding wonders if the reason she isn't married is because she is a lesbian (finding it a more interesting follow-up than just "Haven't met the right chap?"), admits, "Well, I ''was'' a [[ExperimentedInCollege lesbian once at school]], but only for about fifteen minutes." and it's left unclear if she's attracted to women or it was just a one-time thing. |
| 150 | * ''Film/FraternityMassacreAtHellIsland'': Sarah is married to Clark, but is flattered by her friend's offer of lesbian sex. |
| 151 | * James (Will Ferrell) in ''Film/GetHard'' was disgusted over having to give oral sex to a man and is married to a woman, but also didn't mind getting close to Darnell (Kevin Hart) and using suggestive double entendres in regards to him. |
| 152 | * ''Film/GiantLittleOnes'': Both Ballas and Franky. While Ballas initiated oral sex, Franky tells his father that he wasn't uncomfortable with what happened. Both also have sexual encounters with girls throughout the film and nothing definitive is said about their sexualities. |
| 153 | * ''Film/GoryGoryHallelujah'': Jessie, the feminist Jesus, hooks up with Sky and later has lesbian sex at a feminist cult orgy, but she was clearly brainwashed with the latter, so it's not clear if she's interested in women or not. |
| 154 | * ''Film/GreenBook'': Don was once married to a woman, though in the film he's caught naked [[GayCruising having a tryst]] with another man in a public pool by the cops. It's never made clear if she was [[TheBeard cover]], a heterosexual relationship [[LastHetRomance before he embraced being gay]], or he's bi. The fact he shows no interest toward a waitress flirting with him may indicate Don is gay, not bi, though. |
| 155 | * ''Film/TheGuestHouse'': Rachel was dating Jason, but doesn't seem to have been happy with him even before he dumps her. It may be she just hadn't realized she's a lesbian, or wasn't into him specifically too much. Even prior to her relationship with Amy, she's shown masturbating while watching lesbian porn. Amy similarly says that she's been with men and also uses her sexual wiles on them to get things, but that she'd never known love until Rachel, which makes her sexuality equally ambiguous. Neither one ever states an opinion on the matter. |
| 156 | * ''Film/{{Gutterballs}}'': Hannah has threesomes with Steve and the canonically bi Julia, but it's not clear what these threesomes entail. |
| 157 | * ''Film/{{Hatchet}}'': Jenna is introduced making out with Misty [[GirlOnGirlIsHot for a porno film]], and later flirts with Marcus. However, she and Misty hate each other and are only doing it for the cash, so it's not clear if she's willing to sleep with women in her free time or [[SituationalSexuality just wanted the money]]. |
| 158 | * ''Film/HigherLearning'': It's never really made clear if Kristen is actually bisexual or just curious. Aside from the merest teasing of a sexual relationship with Taryn (although it's implied that they did), some hand-holding, and a kiss (which may or may not have really happened), we only actually see her have sex with men. Of course, when she was having sex with her boyfriend, she was thinking of Taryn. This lends a dollop of subtext to the scene in which Dr. Phipps is discussing his students' various backgrounds. |
| 159 | -->'''Dr. Phipps:''' ''[to Kristen]'' What are you?\ |
| 160 | '''Kristen:''' I don't know... |
| 161 | * Ryan from ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' was originally intended to be CampGay but Disney wouldn't allow it. He was paired off with a female character (and his relationship with his twin sister Sharpay is a tiny bit [[IncestSubtext unusual]]), yet at the same time he has a lot of HomoeroticSubtext with Chad in the sequel. Fans commonly read him as bisexual as a result. |
| 162 | * ''Film/HuntingScenesFromBavaria'': Abram is persecuted by both the villagers and society in general for being same-sex attracted, but also at some point was in a relationship with Hannelore, although whether or not he actually felt any attraction to her is a bit murky. |
| 163 | * ''Film/ILoveYouBethCooper'': Everyone is certain Rich is gay, but he insists he's straight. By the end, he admits he's into guys, but had a [[ThreewaySex threesome]] with Beth's two female friends which he'd enjoyed. After that, Rich tells Denis he might be bi and not gay, but isn't sure. |
| 164 | * David Skylark of ''Film/TheInterview''. Dave seems omni-sexual, judging from his obvious attraction to women like the CIA agent, as well as some weird things he says (apparently he watches gay porn). He also didn't mind kissing Kim, the male leader of North Korea, when playing spin the bottle with him or his best male friend Aaron. |
| 165 | * ''Film/InterviewWithTheVampire'': Louis has a deceased wife, and Lestat is perfectly willing to seduce women to drink from them, but their relationship is full of HomoeroticSubtext and it's strongly implied Lestat will seduce men too. |
| 166 | * ''Film/ITChapterTwo'': A rare example when a character's interest to the same sex is confirmed in canon, but their opposite-sex attractions are left more ambiguous. [[spoiler:By the end of the film it's been made clear that Richie is an ArmouredClosetGay who's been in love with Eddie since they were kids. What's far less clear is whether his elaborate bragging about his prowess with girls has any actual intention behind it, other than to hide his sexuality from his friends. On the one hand, as an adult he claims publicly to have a girlfriend who is clearly fabricated (but could conceivably be based on an ex); on the other, as a teenager he does join the other boys in briefly ogling Bev in her underwear (but it's established elsewhere that he overcompensates in order to fit in with his straight peers).]] |
| 167 | * ''Film/JennifersBody'': Anita "Needy" Lesnicki has a boyfriend, whom she cares about very deeply. She also makes out with [[DepravedBisexual Jennifer]], and seems to be really into it before she breaks it off. Also Creator/MeganFox said that she portrayed Jennifer [[spoiler:(who got around with ''many'' boys even before becoming possessed by a demon)]] as a deeply closeted lesbian. |
| 168 | * ''Film/JupiterAscending'': |
| 169 | ** The driving force of the film is the conflict between the Abrasax siblings and Jupiter, the genetic recurrence of their mother. While the Abrasax patriarch is never mentioned or seen, the two Abrasax brothers definitely have an unhealthy interest in their mother. Titus is TheCasanova whose defining scene is a ZeroGSpot pseudo-orgy of heavy petting with women. He plans to secure his claim to Earth by marrying Jupiter, and all that implies. There's also the scene where Titus tries to kill Caine which reeks of HoYay, complete with whispering his evil plan in Caine's ear while circling around him. |
| 170 | ** Kalique has two suggestive scenes with both genders. In one scene she strips naked in front of Jupiter, looks at her seductively, and then rises from her bath with a glamorous young body (in one of the only nude scenes in the movie). There's also her compliments on Caine's physique when he barges into her palace with no shirt on. |
| 171 | * ''Film/KissMe2011'': Elizabeth and Frida suggest that Mia is bisexual, having fallen in love with the latter while also being engaged to Tim. Mia doesn't say (or perhaps know) what her orientation is, though she admits her attraction to women. |
| 172 | * Elaine in the fourth ''Film/LakePlacid'' movie shows a lot of LipstickLesbian signs, particularly towards Brittany (such as telling a friend that Brittany is a skank, then adding "She does have a great ass though", holding Brittany's hand at one point as they're running together, and giving her a shoulder massage) but also takes part in a couple conversations about cute boys. |
| 173 | * ''Film/LovingAnnabelle'': It's unclear if Ms. Bradley is bisexual (as she's with a man, and is shown having sex with him) or just a closeted lesbian in denial trying to pretend she's straight (also possible, given her unhappiness, which he senses). |
| 174 | * Implied in ''Film/MammaMiaHereWeGoAgain'', when Donna sings [[Music/{{ABBA}} "When I Kissed the Teacher"]] to a female professor. Donna never exhibits any romantic interest in women after graduation, making it likely a case of experimentation. |
| 175 | * ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'': |
| 176 | ** In ''Film/IronMan2'', Justin Hammer is briefly seen with Christine Everhart who seemingly flirted with him... until she left him when Tony told her Hammer lost his contract with the Government. He also calls Tony gorgeous. In the short film ''Film/AllHailTheKing'', Hammer has a boyfriend who constantly follows him and strokes his shoulder to comfort him (Justin even calls him "baby"). |
| 177 | ** While Bucky generally treats Steve as HeterosexualLifePartners throughout ''Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger'', the SuspiciouslyAproposMusic that plays in the background of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVoS67Zl1Kc one scene that takes place in a bar]] is a song about a woman whose lover left her for another. The HomoeroticSubtext being implied by the usage of that song is that Bucky has an unrequited crush on Steve, and the real reason he's upset is because he thinks Steve is leaving him for Peggy, as well as foreshadowing his DisneyDeath protecting Steve. |
| 178 | *** In Episode 1 of ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'', he mentions attempting online dating and complains about running into a lot of "tiger photos". "Tiger photos" are a Tinder and Grindr meme overwhelmingly associated with ''men's'' profiles. |
| 179 | *** In episode 3, Sharon criticizes Bucky's devotion to Steve by calling him "Mr. America", and immediately follows it up with "[[JustFriends Cap's best friend]]", with her mocking lip bite right afterwards suggesting that she's [[DoubleSubverted being]] [[LampshadedDoubleEntendre sarcastic]]. One of the implications of her comment is [[HomoeroticSubtext an insinuation that he's biased due to having a crush on Steve]] and [[MrsHypothetical he fancies himself as Captain America's husband]]. While it's implied in context that part of it is Sharon projecting her frustrations over [[WomanScorned her own failed romance]] with Steve onto Bucky, and Bucky is insulted by her comments, [[MathematiciansAnswer he doesn't deny her accusation either]]. |
| 180 | ** Drax misses his wife deeply and isn’t shy about going into detail about his love for her (both emotional and physical), but also remarks on how handsome Thor is in ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'' in a tone that suggests more than just mere admiration, although this could just be Drax being Drax. |
| 181 | ** Kamala’s attraction to boys like Kamran is evident in [[Series/MsMarvel2022 her debut series]], but some of her gleeful fangirling over Captain Marvel can sound borderline infatuated. [[https://youtu.be/S_zWPfd6OWY?si=hf-sBXi8WNxccXPq A deleted scene]] from ''Film/{{The Marvels|2023}}'' makes this even more apparent, as Kamala's reaction to meeting [[AmazonianBeauty Valkyrie]] (who is bisexual) is blurting out “I’m single”, she flusters at the thought of being married to Carol, and echoes Val’s pet name for Carol “Oh Captain, My Captain”. |
| 182 | * ''Film/{{May}}'': May is clearly drawn to Adam, but also seems into Polly's advances toward her. She looks a bit bored when Polly is going down on her though, and it's left unclear if she's bisexual or DesperatelyCravesAffection from them, not so much it being sexual primarily. |
| 183 | * ''Film/MeanGirls'': |
| 184 | ** Damian appears to be a CampGay, but he does go in for an AlmostKiss with Janis at the Spring Fling. So you never know. They both agree it's a bad idea though. |
| 185 | ** Regina claims Janis is a lesbian. Her outfits reinforce the stereotype, as does her close friendship with the openly gay Damian -- they wear matching suits to the Spring Fling. However, by the end of the film, she is dating [[spoiler:Kevin]], so she's probably at most bisexual, since it's not indicated explicitly if she's also into girls. |
| 186 | * ''Film/{{Monos}}'': Rambo is obviously attracted to Lady and regrets being spurning by her for Bigfoot. It's unclear if Rambo is attracted to Wolf. Wolf says she's "like a brother" to him. When Lady tells him to kiss Rambo, she kisses him back without complaint. |
| 187 | * ''Film/NaomiAndElysNoKissList'': Bruce 2 goes out with Naomi before falling for Ely, her friend. She thinks he was just using her as a "gay test drive" though Bruce isn't entirely clear himself by the end on his orientation, except that he isn't straight. It's left unclear if he was attracted to her genuinely (or other women). |
| 188 | * ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreetPart2FreddysRevenge'': While Jesse appears to genuinely love Lisa, the screenplay is by the writer's own admission a pretty thinly-veiled allegory for someone coming to terms with this, and Mark Patton (who is gay in real-life) also said that he played Jesse as someone unsure of his sexuality. There's also how he's very close to his best friend Grady. |
| 189 | * ''Film/TheNorthman'': During the celebrations after the knattleikr game, [[MatingDance Olga is shown dancing rather sensually with another woman.]] That said, she also sleeps with [[TheHero Amleth]] that very same night and is devoted to him ever after. |
| 190 | * In ''Film/OperationFortuneRuseDeGuerre'', Greg Simmonds is clearly interested in Sarah, but also has interest in [[CelebrityCrush Danny Francesco]]. |
| 191 | * ''Film/PalmSprings'': Nyles casually tells Nana he had sex with Jerry during one of his loops. It isn't clear if this was just experimenting, or genuine attraction, though everyone else he's been with have been women. He doesn't appear to have disliked it though. |
| 192 | * Jack Sparrow of ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean''. He's shown on screen to be interested in women and has considerable HoYay with other male characters, and Creator/JohnnyDepp (the actor who plays him) [[WordOfGay has said that he's bisexual]]. |
| 193 | * In ''Film/PlanB'', Bruno pretends to be attracted to his ex-girlfriend Laura's boyfriend Pablo with the end goal of [[RelationshipSabotage making Pablo sexually confused enough to dump Laura and clear the path to him getting back together with her]] but the more his homoerotic-laden friendship with Pablo develops, the more his fake attraction to him starts to look not-so-fake. [[spoiler:The ending confirms that Bruno did fall in love with Pablo for real, but it's still ambiguous whether he really is bisexual and was in denial about it or if Pablo is [[IfItsYouItsOkay just an exception for him]].]] |
| 194 | * ''Film/PromWars'': |
| 195 | ** Rupert has some stereotypically effeminate tastes, admires a statue of a naked man, and seems to admit that he's gay during the paintball scene. However, he also seems to be flirting with Jen L. at the end of the movie. |
| 196 | ** Hamish grabs another boy and kisses him during a moment of excitement, but he also invites several girls to have a foursome with him in one scene, raising the question of whether he is bisexual or in denial about his sexuality. |
| 197 | * ''Film/AReflectionOfFear'': [[spoiler:Marguerite, who desires her father and sexually assaults her victims both male and female. It's left unclear if the latter represents her though, or just Aaron, her apparent split personality.]] |
| 198 | * ''Film/RepoTheGeneticOpera'': Amber Sweet sleeps with the Graverobber and is implied to tap the Genterns. |
| 199 | * ''Film/RoomInRome'': Natasha seems to be bi, as she insists she's into men but has sex with Alba more than once that she clearly enjoys, and flirted with her before. However, neither discusses her orientation, and since Natasha says she's never been attracted to a woman before it's obviously still new to her. Given that a lot of what she says is dubious, some or all of this may be an act too. |
| 200 | * ''Film/ScaryMovie'': Buffy and Cindy have boyfriends, but mention going down on each other one time. However, given that they swore to never speak of it again, it could have just as easily been bicurious experimentation. |
| 201 | * Franchise/JamesBond villain Silva in ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' aggressively flirts with both Severine and Bond. While Bond's tied to a chair and Silva is suggestively touching him, the following exchange happens. |
| 202 | -->'''Silva:''' Well... first time for everything, yes?\ |
| 203 | '''Bond:''' What makes you think this is my first time? |
| 204 | * ''Film/ScoobyDoo2002'': Velma is implied to have a crush on Fred, but also shows signs of being interested in Daphne as well. When telling the story of the day Mystery Inc. kicked Scrappy-Doo off the team, Velma describes Daphne as "so beautiful" and Fred as "so handsome". For what it's worth, Velma was originally going to be depicted as a lesbian in the film's much raunchier original cut, and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOOEwMOtvLI&pbjreload=101 deleted scene]] from the final film has her singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" while dancing sensually and making motions towards Daphne and/or Fred (they're both standing next to each other and the scene is framed in such a way that it's not clear if she's singing to Daphne, Fred, or both.) |
| 205 | * ''Film/Scream2022'': Amber is hinted to be in a relationship with [[spoiler:Richie, with the two calling each other "Hon" and "Baby" multiple times, in a UnholyMatrimony-like situation]]. However, she is very touchy-feely and close with Tara beyond even being a "best friend", actually naming IfICantHaveYou as a potential reason to have attacked her. In an earlier draft Tara and Amber were even girlfriends, before this was removed, leaving her romantic preferences for either a massive question mark. |
| 206 | * ''Franchise/StarWars'': Poe Dameron doesn't have a LoveInterest and his romantic history is never discussed; ''The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary'' uses the unisex term "partner" to describe his potential lover; and Oscar Isaac, when asked about the character's sexuality, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNWGSy2wrrI gave no definitive answer and admitted he'd be open to gay storylines]]. It helps that he has an easy chemistry with Finn, on top of his actor mentioning in interviews that he deliberately played his side of their friendship up [[HomoeroticSubtext as if it were a romance]]. However, one scene in the ''Film/TheForceAwakens'' novelization (loosely copied in ''Film/TheLastJedi''), gives him some ShipTease with Rey and it's strongly implied in ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' he was once in a relationship with Zorii Bliss, to whom he is still attracted to an extent. |
| 207 | * ''Film/StealingHarvard'': Honorable Judge Emmett Cook was married and denies being homosexual. However, he has Duff, John Plummer and later, Mr. Warner and many other males (as evidenced by photos he takes of them all) dress up and role-play as his deceased wife because he misses her too much. He also lies in bed with the men and spoons with them. |
| 208 | * ''Film/Stitches2001'': [[BigBad Mrs. Albright]] is perfectly willing to act seductive towards men and women, and has sex with Ms. Lester to get what she wants. It's unclear if she would have sex with men too. |
| 209 | * ''Film/TheSummerOfSangaile'': Sangaile has sex with Saulius, a male friend of Auste, early on. She doesn't seem to be very into it, however, only having enthusiastic encounters with Auste. It's left unclear why she even did it, as there was no buildup before the act. |
| 210 | * ''Film/TankGirl'': Tank Girl has a boyfriend in the beginning, and hooks up with a guy at the end. But her immediate response to Jet Girl being sexually harassed is to pretend to be her girlfriend, and she refers to past sexual partners in the gender-neutral unless referring to a specific one. |
| 211 | * ''{{Film/Thelma}}'': Anja is dating a guy at the start, then breaks up with him and grows attracted to Thelma. However, [[spoiler:it's left unclear if she genuinely felt this way, or was compelled by Thelma's powers.]] |
| 212 | * ''Film/TragedyGirls'': [=McKayla=] and Sadie both express interest in men, but it's clear that their only true emotional connection is with one another. They're extremely affectionate towards each other, do everything together, and would do anything for their friendship. [[spoiler:In fact, both kill the guys they were interested in at the other's behest.]] |
| 213 | * In ''Film/TheTruthAboutCharlie'', the female detective is sleeping with her male partner, but much of her dialogue regarding Reggie, the protagonist, implies that she's attracted to her--talking about how beautiful she is, how fortunate any man who gets to sleep with her is, etc. |
| 214 | * In ''Film/TheUnbearableWeightOfMassiveTalent'', Javi Gutierrez's idolization of Creator/NicolasCage sometimes seems like a CelebCrush, especially when he blurts, "I fucking love you!" to Nick's face. Nick also shares a very strong affection for Javi, on top of [[spoiler:fantasizing about making out with a younger Nicolas Cage]]. However, both guys also have long-lasting relationships with female love interests (Olivia for Nick and [[spoiler:Gabriela]] for Javi). |
| 215 | * Jay of ''Film/TheViewAskewniverse'' enthusiastically hits on women, but when accused in ''Film/{{Dogma}}'' by Rufus of fantasizing about other men while masturbating, his response is "Dude, not all the time!" Later, when waking up suddenly, he babbles "I didn't come in you, Pete, I swear!" Wikipedia [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_and_Silent_Bob lists most of the many times he and Bob do something ambiguous]]. WordOfGod is that Jay ''is'' most likely bi. |
| 216 | * ''Film/WhenEvilCalls'': Victoria has a boyfriend but gets fixated on Samantha upon seeing that she's beautiful now, flirting with her, indicating she at least is bi-curious. |
| 217 | * In ''Film/WhiteChicks'', Latrell spends most of the movie trying to court Russ who is disguised as Tiffany. Towards the end, Russ decides to reveal his true identity to Latrell and the latter is more appalled at the fact that Russ is black, not a man. |
| 218 | * ''Film/TheWorldUnseen'': It's never explicitly stated where Miriam falls on the sexuality spectrum, given that she's been married to Omar but gets into a relationship with Amina having never (so far as we know) found women attractive before. |
| 219 | * ''Film/{{Wrestlemaniac}}'': Dallas, Debbie, and Daisy are willing to be sexual with each other and Alphonse on camera, but it's unclear how much (if any) of their activity is based on actual sexual interest and how much is [[SituationalSexuality the pay]]. |
| 220 | [[/folder]] |
| 221 | |
| 222 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 223 | * ''Literature/AdrianMole'': In the second book, Adrian's best friend Nigel is unsure if he's gay, straight or bi. When Adrian asks him what he's more comfortable with, he says "All three, Moley!" However, he's mostly portrayed as gay, having previously said that "girls make him sick". |
| 224 | * Graham Spectre from ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' tends to come off like this. His utterly massive man-crush on Ladd Russo, his [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace complete disregard for the personal space]] for pretty much every male character he comes in contact with, offhand comments about other men's attractiveness ("Firo, or whatever his name was... Who could have expected such a cute face to ever be capable of such [[{{Fingore}} horrifying cruelty?]]"), and ''then'' there's that thing he seems to have for Jacuzzi ("Should I let this woman go in deference to you locking up my heart?"), which peaks when he waltzes up to Jacuzzi entirely unprovoked and declares "I like you", [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/justmakeoutalready.jpg while cocking his head as if he were about to kiss him]] before telling him he has free access to his warehouse and wandering off. But he also expresses some interest in Chane, claims that he [[LikesOlderWomen likes older women]], and he [[AllThereInTheManual supposedly]] has a thing for [[BrotherSisterIncest his own sister]]. He's [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} a total nut]], so who knows. |
| 225 | * ''Literature/BakaAndTestSummonTheBeasts'': |
| 226 | ** Hideyoshi is flustered whenever he's forced into the girls dressing room, suggesting that he may be attracted to women. While he's annoyed by all of the male attention he gets, Akihisa included, there are occasional hints that he may like Akihisa as more than a friend, which pushes him into this territory. |
| 227 | ** Akihisa's borderline obsession with Hideyoshi, which, while seemingly excused by his confusion over the latter's gender, is made rather ambiguous by the occasions when Akihisa admits that he knows Hideyoshi is a guy. He's also quite touchy-feely with both Yuuji and Kouta, which is once again always played for laughs, and he's also a CluelessChickMagnet (though he occasionally shows interest in the girls who like him). |
| 228 | * Suruga of ''Literature/{{Bakemonogatari}}''. Despite declaring herself a lesbian, she seems to have a number of lewd ideas involving Koyomi. |
| 229 | * ''[[Literature/AmaranthineSaga Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox]]'': Perhaps it's just his [[TheTrickster mischievous]] nature, but Argent enjoys teasing (and feeding) Jaques' hopeless infatuation with him a little too much, including, it's implied, distracting him with dirty dreams at one point. Otherwise, the [[SingleTargetSexuality only person]] Argent ever shows any romantic interest in is Tsumiko. |
| 230 | ** Jaques himself counts, as his attraction to Argent is obvious (and the ongoing serial "Lord Mettlebright's Man" makes it clear he [[EatingTheEyeCandy appreciates]] male beauty in many different persons, but it's less clear whether his pursuit of Tsumiko (and the flirtation he employs towards it) is solely materially based in an effort to get his hands on her fortune--and Argent--or whether he is also attracted in any way to women. |
| 231 | * ''Literature/BeMoreChill'': Despite Jeremy's crush on Christine and insistence that [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday he is totally, 100% straight,]] he does jerk off while on the phone with his friend Michael. |
| 232 | * Many women in ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' are well able to appreciate beauty in their own sex. Cira is the only one who is explicitly bi, but as her homosexual relationship is treated as nothing unusual, it can be assumed that bisexual women wouldn't exactly feel the need to "out" themselves. |
| 233 | * ''Literatute/BridesheadRevisited'': Charles's relationships with Sebastian and Julia suggest this, although he shows no interest in men other than Sebastian. It's also worth noting that romances between Oxford undergrads were ubiquitous at the time and [[SituationalSexuality not seen as indicative of future orientation]]. |
| 234 | * ''Literature/TheCatcherInTheRye'': |
| 235 | ** Holden describes Luce as a "flitty" seeming guy who has a strong {{gaydar}}. He also notes that Luce seems to talk about sex with, presumably, women a lot. Luce himself mentions that he likes "a mature ''person''", not "a [[LikesOlderWomen mature woman]]", though he could have been referring to in general. |
| 236 | ** Holden's former Mr. Antolini teacher is either this or AmbiguouslyGay. He married a much older woman, which might make her a [[TheBeard Beard]]. Later Holden wakes up in an AmbiguousSituation where Mr. Antolini is petting his head in his sleep. It's vague whether it's paternal like Mr. Antolini implies or sexual like Holden thinks. |
| 237 | * ''Literature/TheDayOfTheJackal:'' The Jackal is an assassin who has been hired to do a big job in Paris. When the Jackal is heading to Paris, he seduces a woman, which allows him to sleep indoors without leaving a paper trail at a hotel. Having arrived in Paris, instead of looking for a suitable woman he lets himself be picked up at a gay bar. He is not shown having any trouble finding the bar, and knows how to dress and act to get the right type of attention ... it's almost like he's familiar with the gay scene in Paris. |
| 238 | * ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid'': Sometimes, Rowley's actions are a bit suspect, especially with Greg. You'd think that a 12-year-old boy would realize that sharing a "Best Friends" locket (in the shape of a heart) with another 12-year-old boy isn't something that looks like platonic friendship or realize that being a fan of a rather effeminate pop singer isn't exactly manly. It could be argued that he's just completely unaware of these things considering that he is a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} and is completely sheltered, however. Also supporting this is that he's the one who gets a girlfriend in ''The Third Wheel''. |
| 239 | * In the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' novels, Leonard of Quirm generally gives the impression of not being sufficiently aware of other people to have ''any'' sexuality, but in ''Literature/{{Jingo}}'', when designing a bigger version of The Boat, it says "his pencil caressed the paper" as he sketched the "well-muscled and not overdressed" oarsmen. This is in keeping with a character based on Creator/LeonardoDaVinci. On the other hand, he's also implied to have had a relationship with Gytha Ogg when he was painting the ''Mona Ogg'' and ''Woman Holding Ferret''; among the [[ReallyGetsAround many]] initials in her SweetieGraffiti in ''A Tourist's Guide to Lancre'' is "L d Q" in mirror writing, and ''The Art of Discworld'' has a sketch of them together based on ''The Hireling Shepherd'' by William Holman Hunt. |
| 240 | * ''Literature/DontCallMeIshmael'': In ''Hoops of Steel'', Jimmy (the BigManOnCampus) and Bill covertly attend a dance together, but earlier in the book, Jimmy drunkenly offended a lot of girls by comparing his penis to a javelin. It's unclear if Jimmy likes boys and girls, [[ArmoredClosetGay staged that incident to make other people and/or himself think he was heterosexual]], or was drunkenly hitting on nearby boys and people only thought he was talking to girls. |
| 241 | * ''Literature/{{Dracula}}'' |
| 242 | ** {{Dracula}} himself is suggested to have bisexual tendencies. While most of his victims are female, he all but openly flirts with Jonathan and at one point tells the other vampires of his castle that Jonathan "belongs to him and him alone". |
| 243 | ** Mina is very much in love with Jonathan, but her diary entries frequently talk about how beautiful Lucy is. And then there's the fact that she first noticed Dracula because they both happened to be admiring the same pretty girl. |
| 244 | * Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden of ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'' dates women, but spends nearly as much time waxing poetic about the men he encounters. |
| 245 | * ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'': |
| 246 | ** Izaya loves humanity. In the light novels, Izaya thinks that Mikado is "humanity itself!" He also directs other HoYay towards Mikado and has told a girl trying to kill him that he loves her and jokingly comments on her becoming his "girlfriend". He also comments to Celty that he's not turned on by her disembodied head (like Seiji is) or her headless body (like Shinra is) implying that he is turned on by regular full-bodied women with her head in place in general. |
| 247 | ** Mikado has a [[{{Yandere}} psychotic devotion]] to Kida and Anri and is mutually fascinated with Izaya. |
| 248 | * ''Literature/EarthsChildren'': |
| 249 | ** Vincavec from ''The Mammoth Hunters'' is clearly into women, given his attraction to Ayla. It's possible he's also attracted to men; when he's trying to persuade Ayla to create a hearth with him, he says he doesn't mind if she brings Ranec with her and that he'll "take you both". He then adds "It would not be the first time. A man has a certain appeal, too!" It's not entirely clear if Vincavec means it wouldn't be the first time a man has chosen to co-mate with another man and had feelings for him, or if he himself has found men attractive before (especially given that in the setting, people with same-sex attraction often end up becoming [[MagicalQueer One Who Serves the Mother]], as Vincavec himself is). |
| 250 | ** Shamud, if not AmbiguouslyGay. While talking with Jondalar about relationships, Jondalar gets the impression that Shamud could be attracted to both men and women, and it's [[AmbiguousGender not stated what gender Shamud themselves are]]. Shamud talks about having the "essence" of both a man and woman within them, but it's not entirely clear if they're talking about their sexuality, their gender or both. Although they're unmated, Jondalar gets the impression that Shamud hasn't been celibate their whole life and Serenio states they "have the body of one and the inclinations of another" when it comes to relationships. |
| 251 | * ''Literature/EndoAndKobayashiLive The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte'': |
| 252 | ** Fiene, in both the original and the novel timelines. In the original game, her "reverse harem" route also includes Lieselotte along with several boys. In the novel timeline, despite being close to Baldur, her interactions with Lieselotte are noted by the commentators as [[HomoeroticSubtext "yuri developments"]]. |
| 253 | ** While Lieselotte is very likely bisexual in the game's timeline--being in love with Siegward yet her love with Fiene is strong enough to invoke LoveRedeems--the question of whether she is still attracted by women is rather ambiguous in the novel's timeline. |
| 254 | * ''Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero'': |
| 255 | ** Julio is canonically in love with Louise, but may or may not also have an interest in her boyfriend Saito as shown when he tells Saito whether jokingly or not that he loves him and wants to kiss him as well as Louise. |
| 256 | ** Kirche is very fond of both Saito and Colbert, and she seems to like Louise and Tabitha as well. |
| 257 | * Rinaldi of ''Literature/AFarewellToArms'' [[LatinLover talks about sleeping with women constantly]], but he is also very affectionate towards Frederic, trying to kiss him on several occasions. He calls Frederic "baby" and appears slightly flamboyant, though this may be DeliberateValuesDissonance being used to contrast him against his American friend. |
| 258 | * In Erica Jong's ''Literature/FearOfFlying'', it's easy to make a case for Adrian's bisexuality. While he's deeply enamoured with Isadora's body and mind, he also hints at an attraction to her husband Bennett at times, up to [[spoiler:stroking Bennett's back after Bennett and Isadora have sex in front of him]]. |
| 259 | * The protagonist of ''Literature/TheGallagherGirls'' has several relationships with men of varying importance, but she also has a tendency to describe the beauty of her female TrueCompanions, ''[[spoiler:even while bleeding out from a gunshot]]''. |
| 260 | * ''Literature/GoodLuckNinomiyaKun'': |
| 261 | ** Hinako. On the one hand she seems to like, whether jokingly or not, to flirt with and harass Shungo but also appears to like to SkinshipGrope Mayu (whether or not it's out of genuine interest or because Mayu is a succubus is never made clear). |
| 262 | ** Ryoko. While it's not made clear if they're dating, Ryoko and Mikihiro are often seen [[BattleCouple battling together]] and often spend time together and get along quite well. What's more clear is that Ryoko has a [[LesYay crush on Reika]] what with her molesting her despite her protests and dragging her off for some "alone time". |
| 263 | * ''Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya'': |
| 264 | ** Itsuki Koizumi seems to like [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace invading Kyon's personal space a little too much]] in the anime adaptation, and in the novels especially he makes it quite clear that he trusts and likes Kyon. He claims to act the way he does because Haruhi expects it and would make it real if he didn't, which would be a plausible explanation if he actually did do so while Haruhi is watching. In the 4th novel [[spoiler:his alternate universe self admits to having a crush on Haruhi]], but this isn't brought up in the main storyline - although many of his actions and words towards Haruhi, especially his constant claiming of being "the expert of her heart" imply some secret affection for her. Whatever the case may be, Itsuki's bond with Kyon could be seen as a fumbled attempt at a bromance or an actual romance slowly developing. |
| 265 | ** Haruhi Suzumiya herself. She makes it very clear right from the start that she doesn't care about the gender of the one she is with, as long as he or she is not an ordinary human being. Despite this, she doesn't seem to ever have dated any girls, but perhaps that was simply because only guys confessed to her. Kyon is the only person she's shown any real interest in, but also likes to SkinshipGrope Mikuru (whether it's out of genuine interest or not remains to be seen). |
| 266 | * ''Literature/TheHeartsWeSold'': Dee is very much in love with James, but is flustered by a pretty girl she meets at a party, and deeply admires her roommate and best friend, Gremma. Gremma actually ''is'' an out-and-proud lesbian, which doesn't help. |
| 267 | * ''Creator/RickRiordan'': |
| 268 | ** ''Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians'': |
| 269 | *** Percy mentions how attractive both male (Luke, Beckendorf, Apollo, etc.) and female characters (Annabeth, Rachel, etc.) are on numerous occasions, but only ever dates girls. |
| 270 | *** The characters of Clarisse and Silena both have in-text boyfriends but are heavily coded to being interested in each other romantically. Silena and Chris (Clarisse's boyfriend) are the only people that can truly get through to her. Silena and Clarisse also parallel Achilles and Patroclus, two figures from the Trojan War who have been interpreted as lovers for literal millenia. When Clarisse refuses to assist with battle, Silena [[ElCidPloy puts on her armor]] and rallies the Ares Cabin in her stead but gets killed in the process. Silena's sacrifice motivates Clarisse to take up arms again and fight for the loss of her friend. |
| 271 | ** ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'': |
| 272 | *** Annabeth and Piper are vaguely implied to be attracted to each other despite their canon boyfriends. Piper mentions that her charmspeak power only works on people that are attracted to her, and Annabeth mentions that it takes a lot of willpower to resist it. Piper also mentions how pretty Annabeth is multiple times. |
| 273 | *** A typo mentions Reyna and her sister Hylla getting stuck on Calypso's island instead of Circe's. For context: people can only leave Calypso's island once they and Calypso fall in love with each other. |
| 274 | ** ''Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo'': |
| 275 | *** Continuing off of her coding in ''Heroes of Olympus'', Piper breaks up with her boyfriend Jason. She comments that it felt fake and forced, like she wasn't being her true self when she was with him. She eventually is shown with a female love interest, which turns the coding into actual text. But whether or not she was actually attracted to men is now up for debate. |
| 276 | *** Again continuing off of her previous appearances, Reyna is shown to have a very close relationship with head of the Hunters Thalia. But, she is very insistent that the relationship is purely platonic and gets annoyed when people imply otherwise. |
| 277 | * In ''Literature/HeraldsOfValdemar: Winds of Change'' Darkwind is shown with women and has a slow romance with Princess Elspeth, only for Firesong, a [[AgentPeacock fantastically flamboyant and beautiful]] LongHairedPrettyBoy, to arrive and revel in making [[OvershadowedByAwesome Darkwind]] jealous that Elspeth will prefer Firesong. Eventually Firesong tells them both that of the two of them he's only attracted to Darkwind and ''very'' attracted at that. Coming as he does from a NonHeteronormativeSociety with absolutely no stigma against same-sex relationships, Elspeth becomes sick with jealousy and the fear that Darkwind will choose Firesong. The pair manage to regroup and complain to each other about how Firesong ''loves drama'' and set this whole conflict up; when Elspeth confesses her jealousy Darkwind doesn't say she has nothing to fear, and in fact later asks, with a pause, "Do you think he meant what he said about - about me?" |
| 278 | ** Herald Vanyel Ashkevron in the ''Literature/LastHeraldMageTrilogy'' is unquestionably attracted to men. In the middle book, though, he finds himself questioning his feelings for Shavri, a close friend who [[ChosenConceptionPartner chose him to sire her daughter]]. The way he feels about her isn't nearly as strong as the way he feels about his lost true love Tylendel but it's not normal friendship either, and he wonders if he's really gay or if he simply hates being aggressively pursued. Eventually he basically concludes that like Tylendel at his best Shavri is just glad he's in her life without needing him to be something specific like his other good friends. |
| 279 | * The ''Literature/{{Hurog}}'' duology has Ward, who is attracted to women, according to himself, but does notice that his [[OurGhostsAreDifferent newly inherited, immortal slave]] Oreg is a pretty boy. It causes him to pity Oreg, as he suspects some of his ancestors to have been rapists. ''However'', later on they become quite close friends, and Ward notices that Oreg working magic is a beautiful sight, and he can also feel the magic, and is a bit embarrassed because it feels like "a hand touching [him] intimately". Ward is also well able to understand why the king's "favourite" has this position - Garranon is an exceptionally beautiful and elegant man, and Ward mentions that he likes Garranon better than most of the other courtiers. |
| 280 | * ''Literature/InCryptid'': Antimony has mentioned being open to liking women, though for most of her life her family thought she was too prickly to get romantically involved with ''anyone''. Now that she's with [[spoiler:Sam]], it's unlikely she'll ever find out for sure. |
| 281 | * Eragon from ''Literature/InheritanceCycle'' comes off as this. Despite his obsession with an unattainable elf girl, he travels and becomes EXTREMELY close to [[spoiler:his half-brother]] Murtagh, and starts getting vengeful and sulky when Murtagh turns out to think he's an annoying little twerp. Additionally he never notices Arya's characteristics (read: breasts), but he spends a lot of time ogling his master's muscles, "port-red lips" and long, flowing hair, and starts staring intently at the guy's "hairless groin" during a naked bath scene. [[FoeRomanceSubtext He also ogles the "hard and lean" muscles of his crippled ex-nemesis]]. |
| 282 | * Both Bunny and Raffles in the ''Literature/{{Raffles}}'' stories: the two have female love interests, but were partially modeled after Creator/OscarWilde and Lord Alfred Douglas and are closer than male friends would be even in Victorian times. While the books never go beyond (heavy) subtext, some adaptations and pastiches make Bunny and Raffles explicitly a couple. |
| 283 | * ''Literature/JaneEyre'' gets together [[spoiler: with Rochester]] by the book's end but there's also the ambiguous LesYay she gets with Diana, Mary, and particularly Helen. |
| 284 | * ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh'': |
| 285 | ** Sara flirts with everyone especially with Yuuri and both the girls and the [[EvenTheGuysWantHim guys]] want him. |
| 286 | ** Conrad is implied pretty heavily as having been in love with Julia when she was alive, but he also has a lot of [[HoYay homoerotic subtext]] with both Yuuri and Josak. [[spoiler: Doesn't help that Yuuri is Julia reincarnated]]. |
| 287 | ** Yuuri actually seems appreciative of the HoYay he receives from his male comrades (and especially gets ShipTease moments with Wolfram whom he's accidentally engaged to be married to) and even seems to reciprocate some before responding with his usual [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday "I'm heterosexual"]] comment. |
| 288 | * In ''Literature/TheLongWalk'', [=McVries=] seems to care about Garraty in a way that extends beyond friendship. He's also mentioned to have had a girlfriend. |
| 289 | * ''Literature/LesMiserables'': Victor Hugo never explicitly states the nature of Grantaire's love towards Enjolras, but he ''does'' compare them to several pairs of mythological/historical male lovers and that was probably as close as you could get to WordOfGay in the 19th century. At least, without being thrown in jail like Creator/OscarWilde. Unlike Enjolras, however, Grantaire is also said to show interest in women. |
| 290 | * Sachiko from ''Literature/MariaWatchesOverUs'' has an extremely strong relationship with her friend Yumi that is [[HideYourLesbians all but confirmed]] to be romantic. Despite the fact she DoesNotLikeMen, she apparently has had feelings for her [[KissingCousins male cousin]] in the past. |
| 291 | * ''Literature/MyNextLifeAsAVillainessAllRoutesLeadToDoom'': |
| 292 | ** While Catarina considers herself straight, she ''does'' spend a suspicious amount of time thinking about how gorgeous her female friends are, especially Maria, and other rather suspect thoughts. |
| 293 | ** In a rare twist, the homosexual attraction is ''not'' what's in question; without any doubt, Sophia is in love with Catarina. The ambiguity comes from whether or not [[BigBrotherAttraction she is still in love with Nicol]]; it is implied that she is [[ShipperOnDeck pushing Nicol to marry Catarina]] simply because [[ShipperWithAnAgenda she sees it as the surest way to bring Catarina into the Ascart household]], so that she can have both at once, since unlike homosexual or incestuous relationships Sorcier society has nothing against a girl [[ConfirmedBachelor living with her]] brother and his wife, and what goes on behind closed doors is nobody's business. She also shows clear interest in [[GuyOnGuyIsHot an all-guys slumber party]]. [[spoiler:Of course, there's also the question of how much of this is "Sophia", how much of this is Acchan, and to what degree there's separation (if there is any at all).]] |
| 294 | * Hikigaya Hachiman of ''Literature/MyYouthRomanticComedyIsWrongAsIExpected'' is definitely attracted to girls (he isn't averse to enjoying the eye candy surrounding him), but he's also definitely attracted to his [[DudeLooksLikeALady girly-looking]] male classmate Totsuka Saika, often blushing and spacing out around him even after [[UnsettlingGenderReveal learning his true gender]]. This initially gives him mixed feelings, but he seems to get over it in time. |
| 295 | * ''Literature/No6'': Possibly inverted. When [[spoiler:Safu]] tells [[spoiler:Shion]] she wants to have sex with him, he is taken aback because to him they are JustFriends, but gets flustered at the idea and pledges to do it with her when she comes back from studying abroad. Of course, this gets derailed entirely when [[spoiler:Safu AscendsToAHigherPlaneOfExistence]], and [[spoiler:Shion]] appears to be much more infatuated with Nezumi anyway. |
| 296 | * Aiden from ''Literature/OfFearAndFaith'', who flirts with literally every woman he meets but also admits to using his [[TheCasanova considerable charms]] on men to get what he wants and he seems to flirt with his male friend Tel on occasion. |
| 297 | * ''Literature/ParaisoStreet'': Isis appears to appreciate Henshaw’s nervous interest in her, but this might also be because [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer she’s used to it]]. MadScientist Cali also offhandedly mentions previous flings but feels her first true romantic connection with a woman. |
| 298 | ** Downplayed with Henshaw, who clearly prefers women but is also not human. |
| 299 | * Ilke from ''Literature/{{Phenomena}}'' is either this or AmbiguouslyGay, her ShipTease with Jolsah is mostly from his side. Yet does it seem that she LikesOlderWomen by her [[NarmCharm weird]] over-attraction to mothers, and a slightly PseudoRomanticFriendship with Millian that sorta resembles [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Korra and Asami's]] the way it was in the beginning, except in that Millian is in love with [[FishPeople Azur]], [[spoiler:and they (Millian and Azur) become a couple if it'll last is yet to be seen]]. [[NatureSpirit Hisj]] has shown some interest in a WifeHusbandry way only to be told by her that she doesn't belong to anyone. According to WordOfGod is she not UsefulNotes/{{asexual}} either, but her type is someone as powerful as herself, and her being one of the most powerful characters in the series will it not be an easy task. And with Norwegian sharing words for both girlfriend and boyfriend, kjæreste (word he used for partner), meaning 'dearest', does it stand as ambiguous. |
| 300 | * Both lord Henry Wotton and Dorian Gray himself from ''Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray''. While the third main character Basil Hallward is pretty explicitly gay, Dorian and Henry are more ambiguous. Henry has a wife whom he seems to like at least on some level, but his interest in Dorian id s bit suspicious and similar to Basil's. Dorian has had many female lovers throughout the book but his relationship to Alan Campbell raises questions. Dorian blackmails Campbell to help him get rid of Basil's body but it is never told with what information he blackmails him with. The most commom interpretation is that Campbell is gay, possibly Dorian's former lover, and Dorian threatens to out him and ruin his life. Dorian's case is much less ambiguous is the film version, where he is shown kissing men and sleeping with Basil. |
| 301 | * Amaliya of ''Literature/PrettyWhenSheDies'' has a lot of hints dropped that she's attracted to women as well as men. It's practically text at some points that she's had lesbian relationships in the past. |
| 302 | * Kavinsky of ''Literature/TheRavenCycle'' is hinted to be a DepravedBisexual. |
| 303 | * Fitchner au Barca of the ''Literature/RedRising'' trilogy had a loving relationship with his wife Bryn. However, the [[ComicBook/SonsOfAres prequel comics]] introduce his old friend Arturius, who was implied to have been in a relationship with Fitchner during their year at The Institute. |
| 304 | * Protagonist Richard Papen of ''Literature/TheSecretHistory'' insists he's straight, has one-night stands with girls at his college, and has a crush on the one female member of the Classics group, but he also endlessly speculates which men of the Classics group are gay and [[spoiler:puts up only token resistance as the one confirmed gay member starts kissing and undressing him]], with the implication that they would have gone all the way if not interrupted. |
| 305 | * In ''Literature/TheShipWho Sang'', [[SapientShip Helva]] has preferences for [[BrainsAndBrawn brawns]], people who will be her partners and {{Handy Helper}}s hopefully for the long term. LongLived, she refers to choosing her first brawn as [[MayflyDecemberRomance entering her first of many marriages]] and calls rejecting one "divorce". Helva distinctly prefers men and is a bit put out to be temporarily assigned a female brawn, but after that assignment ends she's open to choosing women. |
| 306 | ** During ''Dramatic Mission'' [[MissionControl Niall]] suggests that she use [[MyselfMyAvatar mind-projecting technology]] to inhabit the vacated body of an actress, or if she doesn't care for that, a male actor if she wants "a change in pace". We find later that he's secretly in love with Helva and concerned that because she's at the intersection of a ManInTheMachine and a WetwareCPU they CantHaveSexEver. |
| 307 | * In ''Literature/TheSorcererOfTheWildeeps'', two of the relationships Demane has been involved in so far have been with men, including his first love, but he also mentions almost marrying a woman at some point, and expresses some regret about not having done so. Though it's not entirely clear whether he loved her or it was just a 'she's been courting me for a year, that's got to mean something'-thing. |
| 308 | * Kumiko in ''Literature/SoundEuphonium'' has a strong connection with Reina. The two have a very touchy-feely PseudoRomanticFriendship. Kumiko is ObliviousToLove to her childhood friend Shuuichi, but they do have their ShipTease together. [[spoiler:After Kumiko is told about her feelings for Shuuichi by her other friends, the two become the OfficialCouple]]. |
| 309 | * Jenna, the main character of the YA novel ''Squad''. |
| 310 | ** She expresses attraction to men and has a boyfriend over the course of the novel, but the main plot follows her "friendship break-up" with her [[PseudoRomanticFriendship BFF Raejean]]. Back when they were close, they frequently [[HoldingHands held hands]], shared a bed, and even almost had a three-way together (which Jenna fantasizes about). Jenna's utterly devastated by losing Raejean, and spends much of the first half of the story either trying to win her back, or get revenge. She becomes so depressed she briefly contemplates suicide, though she quickly tells herself she's overreacting. Things get better when she starts hanging out with her brother's friends, but it's clear that losing the friendship she and Raejean once had is a life-changing experience for Jenna. |
| 311 | ** Notably, Jenna admits she's this ''in-universe''. When asked if she's possibly bisexual, she's about to say "no," but then pauses and gives the question some serious thought. Upon reflection, especially when it comes to her relationship with Raejean, Jenna decides that she can't be 100% certain she's straight, and answers accordingly. |
| 312 | * ''Literature/TheTeresaKnightTrilogy'': In the first book, Carl turns out to be secretly with Andre, his boyfriend. He'd also had sex with several women, Teresa included, though without as much enthusiasm. She isn't sure whether this means he's bisexual or really gay. |
| 313 | * ''Literature/{{Toradora}}'': Minori admits [[spoiler:she's in love with Ryuuji]], but her PseudoRomanticFriendship with Taiga is so suspect that Minori herself isn't quite sure if it's platonic or not. She even makes an off-handed comment during the cultural festival wondering if she's more into girls. |
| 314 | * Shreve from ''Literature/TheTwelveFingeredBoy'' has some rather suspect moments (to the point where he himself wonders. [[spoiler:Complicated by him being an EmotionEater with a taste for love and happy memories, regardless of the gender of the people involved.]] |
| 315 | * ''Literature/TrappedInADatingSimTheWorldOfOtomeGamesIsToughForMobs'': Leon's first two [[HaremSeries haremettes]], Olivia and Angelica, become extremely close friends due to his intervention in the first volume, and by the time of volume 3, their RelationshipValues are so high that they can run the royal flagship, which explicitly runs on ThePowerOfLove. By that point the ambiguity is not so much whether they're in love as whether they were both biromantic all along or if [[IfItsYouItsOkay this is a special case]]. |
| 316 | * ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'': Bella is in a steady relationship with Edward. His adopted sister, Alice, is her best friend. Many of Bella and Alice's interactions mirror her interactions with Edward, particularly when Bella gets very huggy and clingy towards Alice. This includes a scene in ''New Moon'' where the two basically snuggle on the sofa. Bella also repeatedly talks about how "breathtaking" and beautiful Rosalie is. |
| 317 | * In ''Literature/TheUnlikelies'', while Andie has attraction to men and [[spoiler: eventually gets with Otto]], she has a lot of LesYay subtext with Izzy, even though they're just friends. |
| 318 | * ''Literature/WarriorCats'': |
| 319 | ** Jake, the father of half-brothers Firestar and Scourge, has had kits with two she-cats but is also very close to Tallstar (who is AmbiguouslyGay in his own right). Two of the writers have [[WordOfGay stated]] that they view Jake and Tallstar as in love, but [[HideYourLesbians the publisher won't allow]] same-gender couples. |
| 320 | ** Leafpool is attracted to Crowfeather but also has ambiguous behavior with Mothwing. |
| 321 | * Patches of ''When A Man's A Man'' (by Harold Wright) unsuccessfully proposes to two women over the course of the story and has no problem understanding the other cowboys' attraction to Kitty. However, his happy ending is riding off into the sunset with Yavapai Joe, saying he's going to teach him "how to be a man". This is meant to be interpreted philosophically rather than sexually, but you have to wonder. |
| 322 | * ''Literature/TheWickedYears'': |
| 323 | ** Whether Elphaba is in love with Glinda is left vague, but they share a lot of HomoeroticSubtext. Elphaba does have an affair with Fiyero and [[spoiler:ends up pregnant by him]]. |
| 324 | ** Glinda is canonically in love with Elphaba, even decades after her death--however, she is married to a man. She uses him for money and it's unknown if she's attracted to any men or if he is [[TheBeard a beard]]. |
| 325 | * ''Literature/WonderWomanWarbringer'': Poornima "Nim" Chaudhary likes girls, and maybe guys as well. She's rather unclear on the matter, and later says that she's not yet sure whether she's gay or bi. |

| 328 | [[folder:Music]] |
| 329 | * VisualKei as a genre is somewhat notorious for people both being and pretending to be this, at least with onstage fanservice. It actually pre-dated its current use as YaoiFangirl fanservice, though, with an outsize population of ''actual'' bisexuals or at the very least [[SituationalSexuality men willing to touch, kiss, flirt with, and occasionally even possibly have sex with other men]] from the very beginning of the scene, with ''at least two'' founders of the scene itself being bisexual offstage, although concealing that they actually were. This led to a very accepting climate for gay and bisexual men and [[GuyOnGuyIsHot man on man fanservice]], which began as a way to flip off a conservative Japanese society that believed same-sex attraction among men was "excessive" and "perverted" and a "phase" to be grown out of to marry a woman and have children and to provide a plausible cover story of "it's just fanservice," to protect everyone and their reputations. Music/XJapan was the band that kicked off the entire idea of man-on-man fanservice onstage - and still holds the title for some of the most RefugeInAudacity examples, ''and'' has had members eventually subtly come out, albeit not in press conferences or exact words. Music/{{Adams}} is a duet centered around the idea of being a male couple, though in their case it's inverted - both members are suspected to actually be heterosexual offstage. |
| 330 | * The LoonyFan in "Stan" by Music/{{Eminem}} sounds like he is in love with Eminem and says that they should be together. His girlfriend is even jealous of his obsession with Eminem. |
| 331 | * "Girl Crush" by Little Big Town is about someone who is jealous of a woman because she's with the man she loves. She also sounds like she wants the object of her jealousy. She sings lyrics like "I want to taste her lips, yeah, 'cause she tastes like you", "I wanna drown myself in a bottle of her perfume", and other romantic-sounding lyrics about the woman she's jealous of. |
| 332 | * Much of Music/SufjanStevens' music has an ambiguously bi aura to it. In some songs ("Casimir Pulaski Day," for instance) he seems to be singing about a female love interest, in others ("The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades," "Drawn to the Blood") it's pretty clearly a man, and in a few ("Impossible Soul") it could go either--or both--ways. As Stevens has never spoken publicly about his sexuality, his fans tend to read into his lyrics whatever they want to see in them. |
| 333 | * In "Bad Decisions" by Music/RedHook, the singer gets drunk and gets it on with her best friend, his roommate, and his roommate's girlfriend. While she definitely had sex, it's unclear if she was already bisexual or if it was a case of AlcoholInducedBisexuality. |

| 337 | * ''Podcast/DiceFunk'': Rinaldo is introduced as a suave lady's man who hits on the first female NPC the party meets. He then proceeds to flirt with a number of male characters. |

| 340 | [[folder:Professional Wrestling]] |
| 341 | * After gay rights activists [[GenreBlindness complained]] about Wrestling/{{Goldust}} on [[Wrestling/WWERaw Monday Night Raw]] for his AmbiguouslyGay [[GorgeousGeorge gimmick]], Goldust instead began showing an equal amount of interest in men and women. |
| 342 | * Matt Striker seems like a straight man, never expressing attraction to anything but women, but he once had an affair with Buff E [[SecretTestOfCharacter to prove the man wasn't ready for marriage]]. Mace Mendoza, claims to be gay but when the affair was exposed he also revealed he had been cheating with his bride's maid and had gotten her pregnant. Also, Mendoza once stuck his junk in the face of [[Wrestling/MickieJames Alexis Laree]] because he thought it would make Allison Danger happy. |
| 343 | * Wrestling/JimmyJacobs. His StarMakingRole in Wrestling/RingOfHonor revolved around his attempts to woo The Lovely Lacey but he showed an equal amount of interest in later ROH Champion Adam Cole. |
| 344 | * Wrestling/TripleH: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65OkA2HHLYA There's a lot of bi things I am, but -lingual isn't one of them.]]" |
| 345 | * Wrestling/MickieJames was initially portrayed as an obsessed Trish Stratus fan, even going so far as to corner Trish under the mistletoe. She would soon develop a finishing move where she would surprise her opponents with a kiss and then knock them out with a kick. But then she started dating John Cena on screen for a few months. |
| 346 | * Wrestling/LisaMarieVaron as Victoria had a twisted relationship with Steven Richards, but also a fixation on Trish Stratus that bordered on {{Yandere}}. In TNA as 'Tara' she openly flirted with both members of The Cult of the Serpent, brought in Jesse Godderz as her boyfriend and yet also would share a kiss on the apron with her tag team partner Wrestling/BrookeAdams. There was also a bit of LesYay between Victoria and her Vince's Devils partners Torrie Wilson and Candice Michelle. |

Cindy had just got married to restaurateur Guy Starkman and [[UrbanLegendLoveLife reportedly]], it's an [[EthicalSlut open marriage]]. [[Creator/HowardStern Howard]] then asks Cindy and Elisa if they're [[GirlOnGirlIsHot lesbian lovers]] and Elisa says that that's their secret. |

He then says that he doesn't care that the man is beautiful and that he'd be willing to suck his dick. When referring to men who perform oral sex on other men, rather than being repelled by it, he defends it as being one of the gutsiest things a man can do. |

| 358 | * In ''TabletopGame/FreedomCity'', third edition, the write-up of Magpie, the {{Gender Flip}}ped Catwoman to Raven II's Gender Flipped Batman, says that his battles with the third (male) Raven involve "less flirtation". Maybe that's an understated way of saying "no flirtation". Or maybe it isn't. |

| 363 | ** Supplementary material makes mention of Darling being attracted to boys. ''Dragon Games'' implies that she's [[spoiler:Apple's PrinceCharming]] when she [[spoiler:wakes her up using CPR]]. |
| 364 | ** Apple is both this and AmbiguouslyGay. While she is destined to be with Daring and does fawn over him, she doesn't mind him flirting with other girls and is instead more emotionally invested in Raven. In ''Dragon Games'', Daring tries to kiss her awake [[spoiler:and fails]]. [[spoiler:His sister Darling]] does CPR on her as well but [[spoiler:that works]]. |
| 365 | [[/folder]] |
| 366 | |
| 367 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 368 | * ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' has several examples: |
| 369 | ** The titular character, Phoenix Wright, has shown visible attraction to women, and had a girlfriend while in college, but his relationship with Miles Edgeworth can easily be read as romantic. Their interactions and banter remind one of [[LikeAnOldMarriedCouple a married couple]] and Phoenix behaves like a jilted lover in the wake of Edgeworth's disappearance in the second game. Not to mention that Phoenix owes his ''entire career'' to Edgeworth, as he became a defence attorney just to reunite with him. The fact that Edgeworth is himself is AmbiguouslyGay and Capcom inserts copious amounts of ShipTease between them does not help. |
| 370 | ** Dick Gumshoe has a visible crush on Maggie Byrde, but also behaved as though he had a crush on Miles Edgeworth in the first game of the trilogy. He shows UndyingLoyalty to the latter in spite of constant salary cuts, claims they have a "strong working relationship", and will rush to his defence if anyone speaks ill of him. And his requesting Phoenix to "stand by Mr. Edgeworth" came across as [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy accepting]] that they were in a relationship in spite of his own feelings. In the third game, Phoenix also asks him if he "can't stop thinking about" Jean Armstrong, to which Gumshoe responds that he's "not his type." |
| 371 | ** Max Galactica is mostly a CampStraight circus performer who has his heart set on marrying Regina, the daughter of his boss at the circus, still flirts around with both Phoenix and Maya. He might have been joking when he did that but he does qualify since this is called "Ambiguously" bi. Of course "Max Galactica" is a stage persona and he's actually GoodOlBoy [[HayseedName Billy Bob Johns]] underneath all that fabulousness, but he definitely seems to ''prefer'' being Max whenever possible. |
| 372 | ** Klavier Gavin, from ''VisualNovel/ApolloJusticeAceAttorney'', flirts with just about every girl he comes across but also acts ''very'' flirty towards Apollo. It's also mentioned that he personally writes all of the Gavinners' songs, one of which is called "My Boyfriend Is the Prosecution's Witness", though we never hear it so we don't know if it's written from his perspective or not. |
| 373 | * ''VisualNovel/C14Dating'': Deandre and Kyler, two of the male suitors for the female PlayerCharacter, towards each other. Despite starting on the wrong foot, Kyler's tendency to stick to his first impression of people and various incidents that have every reason to sour the mood between them even more, the two of them seem to be spending a lot of time together off-screen. The latter is to the point that when Shoji gets the news that his mother is in the hospital on Week 7, the two of them show up at the same time for no apparent reason. They are also seen deciding to exchange phone numbers at the last minute in Kyler's routes. On the individual level: |
| 374 | ** Kyler's attitude towards Deandre's friendly interactions with Melissa sometimes comes across as jealousy. In Deandre's friendship ending, Deandre mentions that Kyler came to watch one of his rugby games (something that ''doesn't'' come up in Deandre's romance ending) and claimed to happen to be in the area, yet Deandre knew Kyler was working in Germany at the time the game took place. |
| 375 | ** When the grades get posted, Deandre's phone can't connect to the website and the first person he asks to check his grade for him is Kyler. During that same event, he tricks Kyler into telling him to not "mate" him. A following event includes Deandre calling Kyler "cute if you squint". |
| 376 | * Monika of ''VisualNovel/DokiDokiLiteratureClub'' is explicitly interested in [[spoiler:the player. As in, you, the person playing the game. She even notes in Act 3 that she honestly doesn't know your gender, but she still considers herself your girlfriend anyways.]] The ambiguity comes in when [[spoiler:she generally refers to you using masculine pronouns and terms. It's unclear whether she's assuming your gender based on the player character being male or you being the kind of person who'd play a DatingSim, or if it's for simplicity's sake.]] |
| 377 | * Amy from ''VisualNovel/DoubleHomework'' expresses curiosity about lesbian sex, though she is never seen acting on this particular curiosity. |
| 378 | * Saber of ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' has her main relationship with the male Shirou, but she also doesn't mind Rin [[ThreeWaySex getting involved]], and in the end of the Unlimited Blade Work ending actually becomes part of ''Rin's'' harem along with Shirou. In ''Literature/FateZero'' her relationship with Irisviel is more than a little eyebrow-raising, though it never appears to go past the CourtlyLove level. And that's before remembering that Saber is actually [[spoiler:King Arthur]], and as we all know the legend states [[spoiler:s/he married Guinevere, and though it's specifically referred to as a SexlessMarriage that was only done so Saber's gender wouldn't be questioned the two of them seem to have had some affection for each other, though as another nod to the original legend Guinevere was ultimately in love with Lancelot and we all know how [[LoveRuinsTheRealm that worked out]].]] |
| 379 | * ''VisualNovel/HigurashiWhenTheyCry'': |
| 380 | ** Rena [[ImTakingHerHomeWithMe takes home]] anyone regardless of their gender, age, or species. |
| 381 | ** Shion has a considerable amount of IncestSubtext with her twin sister Mion, despite having a canon male love interest in Satoshi. |
| 382 | ** Rika and Satoko have a considerably LesYay filled relationship but there are implications that Rika is attracted to Keiichi, and arguably Akasaka. Rika also [[spoiler:has an incarnation in ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' who is in a relationship with a girl, who is literally a mishmash of Satoko and Miyo.]] |
| 383 | * ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'': |
| 384 | ** Hiyoko Saionji has a very close relationship with Mahiru Koizumi, to the point where she drags her to take a bath with her (which is an optional ShowerScene if a certain present has been obtained) and almost never leaves her side during the second chapter, though on Mahiru's end she seems to view Hiyoko as a cute little sister and nothing more. She also reveals herself to be quite a {{Tsundere}} towards Hajime in her Free Time Events when she starts opening up to him, and he can also get a romantic ending with her in the Dangan Island Mode. The implications of her relationship with Mahiru aren't lost on Ibuki. |
| 385 | --> '''Ibuki:''' "Welcome to the world of girl love! It's slippery when wet!" |
| 386 | ** If you complete Nagito’s Free Time Events, he will give an AbortedDeclarationOfLove to Hajime. The [[Anime/Danganronpa3TheEndOfHopesPeakHighSchool anime]] also has him blushing [[spoiler:after getting shot by Izuru]] and being ''very'' excited when speaking to Makoto. However, he also mentions getting embarrassed at the idea of asking a girl to feed him, and in ''VideoGame/DanganronpaAnotherEpisodeUltraDespairGirls'' he claims to both hate and love [[spoiler:Junko Enoshima]] more than anyone else. In the art book, he’s asked to describe his ideal girlfriend in an interview, and he says that he yearns for someone with a strong hope (though, not before saying he doesn’t believe anyone could love him). His report card has his likes listed as “beautiful people”, and when under the effects of an aphrodisiac in the anime, he only says that “hope feels awesome.” |
| 387 | * ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'': |
| 388 | ** Kokichi Ouma is constantly teasing Shuichi and at one point in Chapter Four attempts to convince Shuichi to work with him over Kaito. In addition to that, he had [[spoiler:Kaito (who was impersonating Kokichi for most of the fifth trial) say that he loved Himiko in Chapter Five]] and he makes a special point of teasing Himiko the trials and seems concerned enough for her wellbeing he [[CruelToBeKind forces her to confront her repressed emotions]] regarding [[spoiler: Tenko's death.]] He also repeatedly insults and [[SlutShaming Slut Shames]] Miu from the first trial onwards (even though Miu [[TooKinkyToTorture makes it clear she actually]] [[TheImmodestOrgasm enjoys it quite a lot]]), and in their relationship chart, he demands she get on her knees for him and actually makes her do so in Chapter Four. He also [[CassandraTruth attempts to warn Kaede about pursuing her own sense of right and wrong is going to get her hurt eventually]] during their freetime events and also tries to recruit her into his organisation. [[spoiler: He compliments her before she dies, telling her she "wasn't boring" and seems saddened by her death despite only knowing her a short time.]] |
| 389 | ** Keebo wanted to hold hands with Shuichi in his Love Hotel event and he has some quite strong chemistry with [[{{Robosexual}} Miu]], who is one of the few classmates who treats him with any respect. Which make sense with him being a robot with NoBiologicalSex. |
| 390 | ** Kaede Akamatsu has quite the strong ShipTease with Shuichi and other characters such as Rantaro, and when meeting Tsumugi for the first time, she comments that she has a "sexy aura" surrounding her and she says that she finds Tenko to be rather cute in both the prologue and her Free Time Events with her. During the chapter 1 investigation, in order to get Tsumugi to talk to her she threatens to ''lift up her skirt'', exposing her panties, though that was more to fluster Shuichi than a desire to see them herself. However, when Himiko asks her in her Free Time Events with her if she is "playing for the other team" she gets confused. |
| 391 | ** Miu Iruma has [[ShipTease good chemistry]] with [[{{Robosexual}} Keebo]] and she falls in love with Shuichi after he completes her Free Time Events. Not only that, but when Kokichi, as stated above, [[SlutShaming Slut Shames]] her on more than one occasion, [[TooKinkyToTorture she makes no effort in hiding]] [[TheImmodestOrgasm that she enjoys it]]. In her Free Time Events with Kaede, if she is given a gift that she really likes, Miu will assume that Kaede is in love with her which actually makes her ''more'' than happy, and she also tries to touch her breasts during said events. Later on [[spoiler:during the investigation in chapter 3, the first thing Miu does with the wax statue of Kaede that Angie had made is see if it was wearing any panties]]. In the extra modes, Miu reveals that she enjoys being [[SlutShaming Slut Shamed]] by both males and females alike. |
| 392 | ** Tenko Chabashira is a rare case of the ambiguity being on the heterosexual side. Tenko gets flustered when complimented by Kaede and is clearly infatuated with Himiko, which Tenko herself outright confirms. Additionally, despite the fact that she DoesNotLikeMen, it does not necessarily mean she is incapable of being attracted to them; her Love Hotel event shows she is not above allowing Shuichi to do what he wants with her, so she can develop feelings for a man that has gained her trust, if not that she has a romantic attraction to men that is heavily repressed. Also of note, her hatred of men apparently comes from her being [[SuperGullible gullible enough]] to take something her martial arts teacher said as an obvious joke at face value (that being that coming into contact with men will weaken her strength). Obvious because said teacher ''is a man'', which Tenko apparently [[FailedASpotCheck did not realize]] until Shuichi points it out, causing her to GoMadFromTheRevelation. |
| 393 | * [[{{Tsundere}} Icari Isidolde]] from ''VisualNovel/{{Sunrider}}'' is unquestionably attracted to Kayto Shields (much as she might try to deny it), but there’s also enough HomoeroticSubtext in her friendship with the AmbiguouslyGay Kryska Stares that other characters have pointed it out to her in-universe. She denies this the same way she denies her attraction to Kayto: by getting flustered and saying “I-it’s not like I like her or anything!” |
| 394 | [[/folder]] |
| 395 | |
| 396 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 397 | * The titular character of ''WebAnimation/HomestarRunner.'' He and Marzipan, the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple only female character,]] are technically dating (well, sometimes--their relationship is a bit of a revolving door). But he also once told Strong Bad he was "falling for him," seemed excited at the prospect of receiving a "deep tissue massage" from him, and also once proclaimed, about a celebrity, "He's positively dreamy!" (Said celebrity was a ''sound effect,'' but that's just the kind of show Homestar Runner is.) |
| 398 | * ''WebAnimation/NyanNekoSugarGirls'': Hitoshi-san's behavior towards the girls has flirtatious undertones (he calls them "lovely ladies") but has [[AbductionIsLove sexual fantasies]] about his male kidnapper [[spoiler:and hooks up with him in the final episode.]] |
| 399 | * ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': [[Characters/RWBYYangXiaoLong Yang Xiao Long]] and [[Characters/RWBYBlakeBelladonna Blake Belladonna]] have had growing ShipTease throughout the show, ranging from mild flirting in Volume 2 to Nora speculating about their relationship in Volume 7. However, when Yang first arrived in Beacon, she was also happy to be sleeping in the hall because she could check out all the boys. When Blake disappears after Volume 3, Yang takes it extremely hard, sobbing to Weiss in Volume 5 about how she needs Blake. Yang is also a GoodCounterpart to Blake's PsychoExBoyfriend Adam, who openly wonders what Blake sees in her when they fight. [[spoiler:Blake and Yang get together in Volume 9; while [[WordOfSaintPaul some members of CRWBY]] have speculated that Yang might be pansexual, her exact orientation has yet to be confirmed.]] |

| 402 | [[folder:Webcomics]] |
| 403 | * Valeria from ''Webcomic/DevilMayCare'' seems genuinely offended when Rangi denies wanting to get into her pants, implying that she on some level finds him attractive. However, she also gets heated when she sees the woman Nidhi plans on cheating on her wife with stripping down by her apartment window. |
| 404 | * ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'': |
| 405 | ** Noah, who is well aware of this. |
| 406 | --->'''Noah:''' You are surprised I have a girlfriend?\ |
| 407 | '''Elliot:''' I ASSUMED NOTHING!\ |
| 408 | '''Noah:''' ''(grinning)'' Of course not. |
| 409 | ** Ashley was attracted to Elliot just from watching him on his show with Susan and became even more interested in him upon learning he can turn into a woman. Her sexuality was discussed between Elliot and Tedd, but they aren't sure either. Turns out, she [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=2044 doesn't really like labels but can find both men and women attractive]]. |
| 410 | * ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'': |
| 411 | ** Kat has crushes on Alistair and Eglamore, her friendship with Annie has a lot of romantic tinges, and as of Chapter 42 she's [[spoiler:dating Paz]]. It's entirely probable that she's still discovering her sexuality, but bisexual seems the most likely. |
| 412 | ** Antimony Carver has an ambiguous relationship with Kat and Jack, and, if what Zimmy [[http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/?p=1036 found in her mind]] is any indicator, she is attracted to Jones. |
| 413 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': |
| 414 | ** Caliborn is clearly interested in "the bitches", but also has quite a bit of a (one-sided) VillainousCrush on [[spoiler:Dirk]], to the point of drawing fanart of the two of them being "more than friendly" together. (This being [[TerribleArtist Caliborn]], though, it's impossible to tell what he ''actually'' drew.) |
| 415 | ** Rose is dating a girl, but is also fond of certain masculine literary figures and implies that she and Dave treated one another differently before [[spoiler:they found out they were brother and sister]]. |
| 416 | ** Post-retcon, the Vriskagram suggests that Dave and [[spoiler:Karkat]] might be in a romantic relationship. In his later conversation with John, Dave resists identifying as either exclusively straight or exclusively gay. He crosses out of this trope and into explicit bisexuality after asking Dirk for advice on how to come out to one's friends. |
| 417 | ** Pre-retcon, Roxy had a staggering amount of ShipTease with Calliope and at least a little with Jane; post-retcon, she spends about 5 lines constructing an elaborate description of how hot Jane is. On the other hand, she's expressed much more direct interest in both Dirk and John. |
| 418 | ** Some of the [[AllTrollsAreDifferent trolls]] are only shown attracted to one gender or aren't shown in a relationship at all, but are assumed to be bisexual due to [[EveryoneIsBi that being the norm in troll society]]. |
| 419 | * ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' does this a lot, although over time it tends to settle down to making [[EveryoneIsBi most (though not all) of its characters definitively bi]]. |
| 420 | ** For example, [=DiDi=], Sandra, Sonya, and Gary have all claimed to be straight, but hinted at or dabbled in bisexuality at times from the first ([=DiDi=] and Sandra even went so far as to attempt lesbian sex with each other, only to conclude that they were really "two naked straight girls with poor boundary issues"); [=DiDi=] and Sonya are nowadays fully functionally bisexual. |
| 421 | ** Also, Zii always held that Yuki was not a lesbian; she just didn't like penises due to a childhood trauma from the work left lying around the home by her father, a manga-artist who became famous as [[AllAnimeIsNaughtyTentacles "The Tentacle King"]] -- and this now appears to be entirely correct. |
| 422 | ** After it seemed that Sandra's heterosexuality had been confirmed by her attempt with [=DiDi=], spinoff comic ''Webcomic/SandraOnTheRocks'' had Cammi bring the trope racing back to the surface for her. And then there's [[InVinoVeritas her tendency to grope other women when drunk]]. [[spoiler:Becoming a successful model does wonders for her confidence, and by the end she can comfortably flirt with women while sober. She officially ends the comic as ButNotTooBi due to not wanting to put a label on her sexuality, and in the final strip, she confesses her love to Cammi and the two get together for real]]. Also in that comic, teenage geek Alex seems increasingly ambiguous about his complete commitment to heterosexuality, especially after Sandra vomiting on him made him start to associate attractive women with vomit. However, the only "boy" he shows attraction to [[SweetOnPollyOliver is actually a girl in disguise]], and this subplot resolves itself off-camera during a TimeSkip with him [[spoiler:scoring a threesome with said girl and her girlfriend]]. |
| 423 | ** Another spinoff comic, ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'', has Jerzy, who keeps insisting that bisexuality was a stage on the road to homosexuality for him. This might be more convincing if he didn't still sometimes have sex with women. |
| 424 | * ''Webcomic/TheNightBelongsToUs'': |
| 425 | ** Ada specifically tells Hank that she's [[ExactWords "not gay,"]] but Ada's only love interests in the story, including her ex-girlfriend Miss Chief, are female. |
| 426 | ** Lendfire, though calling Ada beautiful, is also possessed of an unhealthy obsession with his master, Gustav. |
| 427 | * ''Webcomic/NineteenNinetySomething'': While Steve has never been explicitly stated as bi[[note]]Joel stated he's best described as "Whatever."[[/note]], he clearly has no issue doing things like kissing other guys in public. |
| 428 | * ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'': |
| 429 | ** [[TokenEvilTeammate Belkar]] kisses the genderqueer Vaarsuvius during a New Year's party and seems to love hitting on [[TheHero Roy]], especially when Roy is temporarily [[GenderBender turned into a woman]] and Belkar hits on "her" [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0244.html knowing full well who it really is]]. [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0698.html Much later]], he volunteers to investigate brothels for information on an elusive character, and isn't at all put out when Roy reminds him to check with prostitutes of both genders. |
| 430 | ** Elan is in a relationship with Haley, but he gets disappointed when he learns that getting bit by Vampire [[spoiler:Durkon]] won't draw them into a [[ILoveYouVampireSon blood bond]] filled with HomoeroticSubtext. |
| 431 | ** Durkon has sex with Hilgya at one point, but offhandedly mentions he has considered the entire Order (consisting of three other men) as potential marriage options. For what it's worth, his mother mentioned that she wanted Durkon to settle down with a nice "gal or fella" when he got older. |
| 432 | * In track 5 of ''Webcomic/TheRockCocks'', Elizabeth is sent to wake up a naked Steg and Suria in the grotto. When she finds the two on top of each other, she has a hard time deciding which she should look at; [[spoiler:Steg's "morning wood"]] or [[spoiler:Suria's "pretty"]]. |
| 433 | * Captain Tyr from ''Webcomic/{{Skins}}''. He likes a female soldier named Jordan but seems a little too enthusiastic when it comes to arresting the PrettyBoy male vampire, [[http://lj-phillips.deviantart.com/art/Let-s-Party-Thank-You-For-12-000-Views-376924194 Rabbit]] (who is openly in love with Tyr). The entire piece looks like a gay musical version of ''Film/TheBodyguard''. |
| 434 | * ''Webcomic/EnsignSueMustDie'': Empress Sue, the titular character's MirrorUniverse counterpart, "proves" that she's evil by [[PsychoLesbian making out with Uhura]], but is just as smitten with Emperor Kirk as Ensign Sue is with Prime Kirk. |
| 435 | [[/folder]] |
| 436 | |
| 437 | [[folder:Web Video]] |
| 438 | * Discussed by ''WebVideo/AlexanderAvila''. Alex finds that a lot of the characters he examines are purposely hinted as being bisexual but left vague enough to make it ambiguous whether they actually are or not. The most notable is his video on Bucky Barnes in his video on ''Series/TheFalconAndTheWinterSoldier'', where he brings up the fact that Bucky was seeing tiger photos while online dating was clearly there as a nod to the fact that a lot of fans interpret Bucky as bisexual but is not given any follow up on the show to confirm the theory one way or another. |
| 439 | * ''Series/TheCryOfMann'': Agent Martinez appears to have a crush on Berry and gets very happy when female callers tell her she's pretty, even calling one of them "sweet cheeks"; however, she also seems to have a crush on "George Washington", and has accepted a sex proposal from one male caller. |
| 440 | * ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'': Dende has a crush on Gohan and expresses a desire to "nestle inside" Bulma's boobs. The latter could just be alien curiosity, however. Granted, being an asexual being with similarities to a slug, it really calls into question whether any word on the sexuality spectrum can accurately fit. |
| 441 | ** Both Korin and Yajirobe. They are a couple,[[spoiler: and eventually get married]] so attracted to men is a check. However, Yajirobe thinks that watching Bulma breastfeed is "awesome." And Korin owns a car that they named the "pussy wagon." Neither of them is expressly labeled as "gay" in the series either. |
| 442 | * WebVideo/MatthewSantoro has been shown to have a girlfriend, but he's also expressed sexual attraction to the male UsefulNotes/AlGore. |
| 443 | * ''WebVideo/SailorMoonAbridged'': Serena is definitely into men, crushing heavily on both Tŭedo Mask and Andrew and thrice expressing attraction to Jedite, once in the radio episode, once in the diet episode, and once in the cruise episode. However, she makes some questionable comments towards three of her female teammates. Upon first meeting Raye, she says she would become a lesbian for her. When Jupiter is beating up a [=MOTW=] that attacked her, she exclaims "[[GratuitousJapanese Sugoi!]]" and in a later episode, she mentions that her boobs are fantastic/amazing. When Venus introduces herself to the rest of the Scouts, Serena's first words are to note how big her boobs look and when Venus [[JumpPhysics improbably jumps away]], she exclaims "Hot!" with enlarged eyes. Then in season 2, she feels the need to say her hugging Luna (an alien cat) while naked isn't what it looks like to her past-life mom. |
| 444 | * ''WebVideo/YugiohTheAbridgedSeries'': Yami Yugi. The gaydar in Bakura's Millennium Ring has reacted to him, he believes that the Millennium Puzzle is just fabulous, has an obsession with leather pants, and claimed that he was straight if Kaiba's ghost was real. Turns out the "ghost" was actually [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext a gay clown]]. However, he occasionally shows interest in both genders, including Téa, though in "They Saved Tristan's Brain," it's revealed that he isn't sure if she's a girl. And then there's Bonds Beyond Time Abridged, where he is openly attracted to Yusei and in "What Would Yugi Do" he pervs on Yugi. |
| 445 | * ''WebVideo/{{AFK}}'': Q seems totally comfortable having sex with Quinn, [[ScrewYourself her male alt]]. Since they're the same originally, it indicates they may be bisexual, though [[IfItsYouItsOkay it's possibly a special case]]. |
