| 6 | On many mainstream TV shows, there are NoBisexuals. Not just in the casts, ''anywhere'' -- once a person has realized their attraction to the same sex, the opposite sex is expected to be discarded utterly. A bisexual, at best, is either a [[ExtremeOmnisexual kinky guest star]] or [[DepravedBisexual the one who did it]]. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | WellThisIsNotThatTrope. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | This is the ''other'' extreme: Everyone Is Bi. Gender -- aside from a few token comments -- is hardly a factor in the characters' relationships; the [[JumpingTheGenderBarrier gender barrier]] seems an alien concept. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | What this trope is ''not'' is, for example, ''Webcomic/UmlautHouse''. While about half the cast is bisexual, the other half is explicitly not -- and even if the ratio were different, the fact that [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday neither half will]] ''[[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday shut up about it]]'' makes it the antithesis of this trope, in which it's rarely, if ever, mentioned at all. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | In video games where you can choose your gender, this trope is increasingly common -- not out of any desire to make a particular statement about the characters, but because game developers and writers don't see any reason to cut off any possible {{Romance Sidequest}}s just because of gender selection, plus it would be more work to put in these limitations anyway. Characters in such games are sometimes described as "player-sexual". |
| 15 | |
| 16 | Common in works set in TheFuture. Often overlaps with FreeLoveFuture, but not always. Sometimes used in the same way as OutgrownSuchSillySuperstitions, to show how "advanced" the future people are, in terms of social norms rather than classical sci-fi technical progress. Expect any straight or gay FishOutOfTemporalWater to be mocked for their "closed-minded" and "restricting" lifestyle. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | While it's not quite TruthInTelevision, it ''is'' truer than people often think. People can be attracted to multiple genders (or none), and if someone's previously expressed an attraction to their opposite gender, bisexuality can be a safe assumption. If you're counting homoflexibility and heteroflexibility, then there certainly are '''lots''' of bi people -- but still, not '''everyone''' is bi. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Can sometimes be used for ThreeWaySex, AThreesomeIsHot (or even APartyAlsoKnownAsAnOrgy) and/or {{Polyamory}}. If one were to [[InvertedTrope turn this trope upside-down]], then either there are NoBisexuals, or everyone is asexual. This may be related to BisexualLoveTriangle, but is not necessarily the opposite, as that still requires the different gender characters to contrast against one another. Compare CastFullOfGay.

| 25 | |
| 26 | [[foldercontrol]] |
| 27 | |
| 28 | [[folder:Anime and Manga]] |
| 29 | * ''Anime/RevolutionaryGirlUtena'': The TV series contains suggestive scenes and dialogue between nearly ''every'' pair of major characters, [[BrotherSisterIncest including siblings]] and completely regardless of gender. The director kept pushing the envelope until not even the most die-hard of HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday fans could call it "just HoYay". Even the manga artist, initially disinterested in the plan for girl-girl intimacy, came around near the end of the series. The brakes came all the way off for the ''Anime/AdolescenceOfUtena'', where the main couple went from the heavy subtext of the series to unambiguous female/female romance. |
| 30 | %%* The second half of ''Manga/{{Gravitation}}''. |
| 31 | * Seems to have been the general assumption in ''Literature/KyoKaraMaoh'', as it is 'not uncommon' for two men to marry, and the maids who have a betting pool on the main character's relationships don't even take gender into consideration despite his having explicitly stated his heterosexuality several times. [[TransparentCloset Or perhaps they just know better.]] |
| 32 | * It seems like absolutely everyone in ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'' is at least bi, which is pretty much what happens when 90% of the cast is male but romantic/sexual tension between the characters is still desired. At the very least, WordOfGay has confirmed that France is bisexual and Sweden is [[SingleTargetSexuality gay for Finland]] (probably alluding to how [[NationalStereotypes Finnish people sometimes stereotype all Swedish men as gay]]) |
| 33 | ** This extends to the women, too. Hungary, Liechtenstein, Taiwan, Seychelles, and even Belarus have shown interest or have been {{Ship Tease}}d with both male and female characters. |
| 34 | ** FanFic often portrays bisexuality as an integral part of being a nation, since technically they don't count as normal humans ''and'' they've been around for enough time to not be fazed by same-sex relationships any longer. |
| 35 | * ''Manga/KaguyaHime'': Mostly everyone but not only because of [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Miller]] and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer Akira]]. Except for [[PsychoLesbian Maggey and Mayu]], who both definitely think men are dicks. |
| 36 | * In ''Anime/{{Mnemosyne}}'', the entire issue of gender in sex is just discarded. For example, the main character Rin has been shown to have sex with both males and females, with [[spoiler:the one person she's loved for over a millennium being the guardian of the Tree]], and the rest of the cast is implied to simply go with what feels good to them. That said, however, gender is an issue to the greater storyline... [[spoiler:well, actually it's rather the ''mix'' of gender that's important. The point? The only character with real tangible power in the entire anime is a hermaphrodite, Apos, at least until Rin becomes the new Guardian.]] |
| 37 | * ''Manga/GorgeousCarat'': Characters' sexualities are never addressed (except for a couple "are you gay?" jokes at Ray's expense). [[EvenTheGuysWantHim The guys just all want Florian.]] |
| 38 | * ''Manga/VampireGame'': ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, with the exceptions of Darres, Falan, Vord, and Ishtar, several of which still encourage all sorts of bizarre matchups. |
| 39 | * While almost ''any'' manga by Creator/{{CLAMP}} may qualify, ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' in particular stands out, what with most of its main characters having both opposite-sex and same-sex attractions. |
| 40 | * Seems to come with the badge if you are a male police officer in ''Manga/{{FAKE}}''. |
| 41 | * In ''Literature/FromTheNewWorld'', all of the main characters except Mamoru. When they're 14, their entire class (save him) appear to be in a relationship with someone of the same sex. It's also a case of NoHeterosexualSexAllowed at a young age. |
| 42 | * While structured heterosexual and homosexual relationships certainly do exist in ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', the main characters (Usagi, in particular) are just as likely to blush and be smitten with a beautiful member of the opposite gender as they are someone of the same gender. The series in general also seems to have no stigma in-universe when it comes to straight or gay relationships, as long as the relationship is romantic in nature, it is considered perfectly acceptable (even if said relationships [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes occur between the villains]]). |
| 43 | * Seems to be the case with ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamWing'', with both male and female characters coming across as potentially having feelings for both same-sex and opposite-sex characters. |
| 44 | [[/folder]] |
| 45 | |
| 46 | [[folder:Comic Books]] |
| 47 | * In ''ComicBook/StrangersInParadise'', most of the female characters have slept with each other, [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday even if they self-identify as straight]]. However, even if they [[DoesNotLikeMen do not like men]], [[IfItsYouItsOkay they have also slept with David]]. LoveDodecahedron does not even ''begin'' to describe it, and it is one of the only series to have the characters ''themselves'' actually suggest multi-partner pairings in order to [[OneTrueThreesome deal with the results.]] |
| 48 | * Wendy and Richard Pini, creators of ''ComicBook/ElfQuest'', have explicitly stated on several occasions that every single elf in the series is at least potentially bisexual. Although most of the characters seem to express a preference for one sex or the other there are several examples of elves in heterosexual relationships taking time out to have same-sex flings as well, perhaps the most notorious being [[http://www.p-synd.com/wild/lndance.gif Leetah and Nightfall's nude dance]] in Volume 5 of the collected series. |
| 49 | * Similar to the [=51st=] century in ''Series/DoctorWho'', the eponymous superhero of ''[[ComicBook/TheAuthority Midnighter]]'' was hit on by a woman in the [=96th=] century who became very confused when he told her he was gay, asking him [[HaveAGayOldTime what the hell being happy has to do with anything]]. After he explained that he's only attracted to men, she just became even ''more'' confused, since she'd never heard of anyone only being attracted to one sex before. In this century, to quote Midnighter himself, "everyone just does everyone". The woman then points to two of her male squadmates who got together after both of their girlfriends dumped them for the other man's girlfriend. Midnighter thought this was hilarious because it meant all of the {{Heteronormative Crusader}}s in his own time are just wasting their time fighting a battle they will inevitably lose. |
| 50 | * In Creator/AlanMoore's ''Comicbook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', the character of Orlando is definitely bisexual, but this makes sense because Orlando is an immortal who changes sex randomly and without warning. However, pretty much all of the female characters (be they historical or mythological) that Orlando spends any amount of time with are bi for Orlando. This includes Mina Murray, the heroine of the series, Fanny Hill, Venus (of course), Marguerite Blakeney, and others. And when Orlando is a male, it's at least hinted at and also sometimes explicitly stated that many of his male companions are bi for him also. |
| 51 | ** In ''Century: 1910'', Mina, angry with both Orlando (who's male at this point) and her partner Allan, announces that she'll be in self-[[ExiledToTheCouch Exile To The Couch]], and they'll have the bed to themselves. She also comments that she likes Orlando better when they're female. |
| 52 | *** In ''Century: 1969'', Orlando, who's in the middle of a transformation from male to female, offers to let a sexually frustrated Allan have a go at them. Allan takes them up on this offer. |
| 53 | * In ''ComicBook/{{Artesia}}'', all the Daradjan women seem to be bi, and the men at least have no problem double, triple, or even quadruple-teaming a willing woman. No male characters have yet been shown to be explicitly bi or even homosexual, though. |
| 54 | * In Jaime Hernandez's "Locas" stories in ''ComicBook/LoveAndRockets'', practically every female character is bi, even the lesbian-identifying ones. Except for Vicki, who's a homophobe. |
| 55 | ** One of the ''Palomar'' stories features Guadelupe, still reeling from Doralis' coming out, wandering around and hearing seemingly everyone else confess to having some same-sex attraction. |
| 56 | * Save [[TwoferTokenMinority Penny]], this basically applies to the women in ''The Adventures Of Olivia'' as even if they haven't been ''seen'' making out with other women, it's more of a sense that they ''would,'' but there's only guy(s) around. [[RuleOfSexy Basically, if you're hot, you're getting some, too as far as they're concerned.]] |
| 57 | * Pretty much everyone in ''Lost Girls''. |
| 58 | * In some continuites [[ComicBook/WonderWoman Themiscyra]] doesn't have sexual orientation as a concept. Most Amazons end up in homosexual relationships because it's a LadyLand, but that doesn't mean that Amazons won't be equally attracted to men if that's an option. |
| 59 | * Within ''Comicbook/TheWickedAndTheDivine's'' CastFullOfGay, five out of thirteen of the protagonists are bi, six if you count [[IfItsYouItsOkay Ammy]]. |
| 60 | * Many works by ''Creator/GailSimone'' have explicitly bisexual characters, characters with heavy bi subtext, and in at least one case characters that Simone wanted to make bisexual but was forbidden to do so, which often gives her works this feel. |
| 61 | * Both Cupids and Cubi from ''ComicBook/FinePrint'' are polymorphic in nature and [[SexShifter they can shift between sexes at will]], so their sexual preference is just as fluid. The same applies to the protagonist Lauren Thomas, who's attracted to both men and women, including having threesomes. All these make up most of the characters. |
| 62 | [[/folder]] |
| 63 | |
| 64 | [[folder:Fan Works]] |
| 65 | * Choose two characters in all of fiction. There is a fic pairing those two. Now notice how gender was not specified in the prompt. That is because everyone can be bi in FanFiction. |
| 66 | * The slight majority of the shipping fanfiction about ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' is generally female on female pairings. Predilections of the fanfic-writing fanbase aside(see above), the fact that the cast is a good 80% female is a big factor. However, the use of humans, {{Original Character}}s, crossovers, as well as RuleSixtyThree have created plenty of heterosexual ships. Females becoming paired up with characters such as Soarin, Dr. Whooves, Big Macintosh and Spike have become more popular as well. As a result, the shipping fandom of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' can be equated as this. |
| 67 | ** Some stories, in particular, take advantage of this trope; in ''Fanfic/TwilightsList'', Twilight Sparkle expresses interest in both stallions and mares, and when she considers asking her friends out on a practice date, she doesn't even consider the possibility that they may not be interested in mares themselves. Then again, it may have simply been her not thinking about it, because it wasn't supposed to be a ''real'' date... |
| 68 | ** ''Fanfic/{{Green}}'' relies on this as everyone--down to the Princesses--expresses interest in mares, and several characters express interest in (or reminisce on past experiences with) stallions as well. |
| 69 | ** In ''Fanfic/AuntieTiasMatchmakingService,'' all of the young mares and stallions Celestia helps seem open to dating mares or stallions, and it's treated pretty casually and not even something worth discussing with them before she starts looking for matches. |
| 70 | * Everyone in the That Damned [[MisterSeahorse MPreg]] universe is bi unless specifically stated otherwise, exclusively straight and gay characters are few and far between. |
| 71 | * ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'': This seems to be the case, though only the guys show it, per the author's opinion that GuyOnGuyIsHot. For the girls, it's just an InformedAttribute. Ebony herself flip-flops between proclaiming her bisexuality and HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday for no adequately explored reason. |
| 72 | * ''Fanfic/NewTamaran'': |
| 73 | ** Amazons, Atlanteans, and Tamaraneans are all proudly bisexual and [[SexIsGood sex-positive]]. |
| 74 | ** As are Supergirl, Oracle, Aqualad, Speedy, Bumblebee, Argent, and Pantha ... and probably Jinx. |
| 75 | ** On the villain side, Cheshire and [[spoiler: Blackfire]] engage in threesomes with [[spoiler:Scarecrow (who consents) and Red X (who doesn't)]]. |
| 76 | * Absolutely everybody in ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' fanfic, DependingOnTheWriter. |
| 77 | * In C'hou across ''Fanfic/WithStringsAttached'' and ''Fanfic/TheKeysStandAlone: The Soft World'', there are no sexual taboos among the C'hovites and outworlders; hence, Everyone Is Bi. For example, when Ma'ar asks George to have sex with her, she tells him to invite the others in and they'll all enjoy one another. (Given that the four are firmly heterosexual, George agrees to sex but asks to leave the others out of it.) Grynun says that inside the castle walls, the four can have sex with each other but with none of the Idris until she has them first. And As'taris ogles the naked Paul and comments to Grunnel that if he'd known what he was missing, he wouldn't have treated Paul so indifferently. |
| 78 | ** This doesn't apply on the Hunter's world; he talks of the “shameful female-men.” |
| 79 | * In [[http://archiveofourown.org/series/25778 this]] ''Series/TeenWolf'' fic, Lydia, Jackson, Scott, Allison, Stiles, and Derek are all bisexual and part of a queer advocacy group that Lydia starts because their college's actual LGBTQ group isn't very accepting of [[NoBisexuals bi]] and trans people. |
| 80 | * In the ''Observe The Viewing Globe'' fan work archive for the ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' fandom, this can be easily [[HandWave handwaved]] by the fact that Rangers whose powers connect them directly to the Universal Morphing Grid frequently face a MateOrDie scenario due to the Morphing Grid messing with their hormones (i.e. causing "trips" or "spikes" of sexual arousal) as a side effect of holding the Power. The Morphing Grid also causes Rangers, regardless of gender, to feel "sympathy spikes" of hormones in response to the close proximity of horny teammates, so that any Ranger who experiences a hormone spike has at least one teammate, at any given time, to whom he/she may turn for release. |
| 81 | ** As masturbation is not considered a viable release mechanism to those who hold the Power, it's very fortunate that the Morphing Grid appears to grant immunity to [[FantasyContraception pregnancy]] and [[STDImmunity venereal disease]] for Rangers on active duty. |
| 82 | * This seems to be the default in ''Fanfic/ThePowerOfFriendshipAndThisGunIFound''. The characters who are currently explicitly bisexual include Yugi, Atem, TĂ©a, Mai, Tristan, and the Thief King. |
| 83 | * ''Fanfic/WeissReacts'': Everyone except [[OfficialCouple Cardin and Melanie]] seems to be bisexual. Ren and Nora have had ShipTease with other characters of the same gender, Weiss had a crush on Jaune, Pyrrha is implied to crush on Weiss, and so on. Glynda is the greatest example of this; despite ostensibly crushing on Ozpin, she spends half of her own story secretly [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial not crushing on]] Cinder, [[Anime/{{AKB0048}} Chieri]] and Yin. |
| 84 | * ''Weaponized'' in ''Fanfic/TheEditWarForAshsFreedomToNotBeBetrayed''. During the edit war between the Pokémon god Arceus and the mysterious Darkern Edgier, Darkern (as part of his attempts to "improve" the Pokémon world) tries to give Ash a harem; when Arceus prevents him from adding the girls he wants to said harem, he tries to make them [[GirlOnGirlIsHot bisexual]]. However, he wrote down "they will all be bisexual" without specifying ''who'' he wanted to be bisexual; as a result, everyone in that universe becomes bisexual. When Arceus points out that he has made both Ash and all his male rivals bi and thus (per Darkern's earlier logic) canonized such pairings, Darkern has a VillainousBreakdown. |
| 85 | * The oneshot ''Fanfic/ButYouWontHaveToDoItAlone'' takes all the subtext from the ''Sailor Moon'' series and rolls with it: every one of the Senshi ''are'' queer, though not all realize it yet (especially the [[TransparentCloset very transparently bi]] Usagi). Most are bisexual/pansexual, but ''Rei'', out of any of the girls, is a lesbian (with her boy-crazy nature from the 1990s anime being [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday overcompensation]]). The fic revolves around one big ComingOutStory. |
| 86 | * ''Fanfic/KingdomHeartsPsiTheSeekerOfDarkness'' plays with this: not everyone is Bi (specifically, Aqua is straight, Lea and Naminé are gay, and Ventus is later revealed to be asexual), but enough of them are that Xion ends up being genuinely confused by the notion that anyone ''isn't'': |
| 87 | -->'''Naminé''': (''while reassuring Xion that she's not interested in Roxas'') I like girls. Only girls. Not boys.\ |
| 88 | '''Xion''': (''still looking dumbfounded'') I don’t understand? Just girls? Why not boys, too?\ |
| 89 | Abruptly, several things lined up for Naminé.\ |
| 90 | Point the first: Xion had been created as a Replica of Sora, but her appearance and bearing had been greatly informed by Sora’s impressions of Kairi.\ |
| 91 | Point the second: Sora was, obviously, either bi or pansexual, given that he was dating both Riku and Kairi.\ |
| 92 | Point the third: No matter [[TransparentCloset how in denial she was]], Kairi was obviously bisexual.\ |
| 93 | Question: Would Sora have picked up on Kairi being bisexual, oblivious as he could sometimes be?\ |
| 94 | Consideration: Kairi was incredibly obvious about being bisexual, to the extent where she was the only person who wasn’t aware of it.\ |
| 95 | Answer: He might not be actively aware of it, but Sora had incredible subconscious perception and intuition. He’d at least be subconsciously aware of it, if not consciously.\ |
| 96 | Point the fourth: Any sexual education Xion had would have come from either Lea, or Sora’s mother.\ |
| 97 | Point the fifth: Lea had had no reason to discuss sexuality with either of them, since as Nobodies lacking emotional connections, it wouldn’t have been relevant.\ |
| 98 | Point the sixth: Sora’s mother had met Xion only just before she and Roxas started dating, so she would have assumed anything relating to that had already been figured out.\ |
| 99 | Point the seventh: Xion’s comments indicated she was likely, without knowing the terms for it, also bisexual.\ |
| 100 | Point the eighth: Xion would have had no reason to question her worldview, since the only relationships she was exposed to with regularity was her own, and Sora, Kairi, and Riku’s.\ |
| 101 | Conclusion: Xion had no idea it was possible to be attracted to only people of the same gender as oneself, or only people of a different gender than oneself. |
| 102 | * In the ''Webcomic/SinKidsAU'', there doesn't seem to be any character, original or [[AdaptationalSexuality canon]], that's strictly hetero or strictly gay. While most of the characters have preferences for the opposite sex, they have zero problem with the same sex either. |
| 103 | * ''Fanfic/PokemonCrossing'': All three of the leads are bisexual and nobody actively discriminates them for their sexuality. Several supporting characters are bi or implied to be. |
| 104 | * ''Fanfic/TheInfiniteLoops'' has a justified example, as the coding regarding a looper's sexuality was among the first stuff to be lost during the event that caused the loops, and, considering that there are more pressing things to be recovered, the admins don't really attempt to recover it. Thus, a lot of characters who appeared be to straight in baseline will mention taking lovers of both genders. |
| 105 | [[/folder]] |
| 106 | |
| 107 | [[folder:Films -- Animation]] |
| 108 | * In ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'', [[spoiler:there is an orgy scene where all the food characters have sex with each other, regardless of gender.]] |
| 109 | [[/folder]] |
| 110 | |
| 111 | [[folder:Films -- Live Action]] |
| 112 | * ''Film/BedroomsAndHallways'': The premise of the film is that sexuality is not set in stone. |
| 113 | %%* ''Film/{{Gia}}'' |
| 114 | * ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''. In fact, this is pretty much the entire ''point'' of the movie. Pretty much the only two characters who show no bi tendencies are Dr. Scott, who is wheelchair-bound, and the Criminologist, who doesn't interact with any of the other characters. |
| 115 | * ''Film/VelvetGoldmine'' has Brian and Mandy and a host of glam rock fans. |
| 116 | * While it's never shown on screen, the script for ''Film/{{Alien}}'' was written with the idea in mind that all of the crew members would've banged without regard to gender, except [[spoiler: [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Ash]], who [[BarbieDollAnatomy couldn't]] even if he wanted to]]. Part of the reason for that is none of the characters were written with a specific gender in mind. |
| 117 | * The extraterrestrials of ''Film/{{Paul}}'', at least according to Paul. He also says "It's all about the pleasure." |
| 118 | * Most mainstream porn, of course, meets this trope halfway--it's true by default for women, but not for men. (There's a fairly small subgenre where it's true across the board.) |
| 119 | * In ''Film/SixTheMarkUnleashed'', the Community's holographic program instructs new initiates of the [[MarkOfTheBeast Holy Implant]] that with the New Order brought about by [[TheAntichrist the Leader]], things such as monogamy have been done away with so that people are free to move about with partners of either sex. Procreation is only allowed according to the will of the Leader. |
| 120 | * ''Literature/{{Crash}}'': Almost all of the lead characters (save for Catherine) are seen having sex with both men and women, including Ballard, Vaughan, Gabrielle, and Helen. Catherine is also canonically bisexual, as per the novel, but her affair with a female coworker isn't depicted in the film. |
| 121 | * ''Film/WhatHaveYouDoneToSolange'': [[spoiler:Turns out all the victims, along with Solange, enjoyed having regular sex with older boys and each other.]] |
| 122 | * ''Film/ShesGottaHaveIt'': Opal, Nola's lesbian friend, claims everyone is sexually flexible, though they usually settle on a preference (as she has). |
| 123 | * ''Film/TheBridesOfSodom'': Every character who expresses any interest in sex at all has sex with both men and women over the course of the film. |
| 124 | [[/folder]] |
| 125 | |
| 126 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 127 | * In ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'' it is hinted at that premarital relationships to women are nothing unusual. Exactly how common this is remains unclear, but Jerin is not at all surprised when Cira mentions a female lover in her past. There are also female prostitutes for women, although those do pretend to be male, so there might be an overlap with SituationalSexuality. |
| 128 | * The Mina Davis books ''[[Literature/HungoverAndHandcuffed Hungover and Handcuffed]]'' and ''[[Literature/AssholeYakuzaBoyfriend Asshole Yakuza Boyfriend]]'' are somewhere between this and CastFullOfGay. More than half of the main cast is bi (though in some cases only by WordOfGay), but several are of them are gay. A few are straight, though none explicitly so. |
| 129 | * In Creator/MarionZimmerBradley's ''Literature/{{Darkover}}'' series bisexuality is very much a social norm on the titular planet. In fact, in many cases, it is actively encouraged, especially among adolescents who are too young to marry and same-sex relationships serve to help prevent teenage pregnancies. Also, as expectation of monogamy is rather lower on Darkover due to it having originally been a LostColony with a small initial population, even adults who are married may have ongoing extramarital relationships with people of the same or opposite sex. Because of the age of these works, this was sharply contrasted with the Terran Empire, which reflected more mainstream American social values of the time and thus, despite the setting being in the distant future, had mid-20th Century sexual values. Terrans frequently found Darkovan sexuality more than a little discomforting. |
| 130 | * ''Literature/ThatIrresistiblePoison'' by AlessandraHazard: People on the planet of Calluvia can be romantically involved with people of any gender. |
| 131 | * In the ''Literature/KushielsLegacy'' series, nearly every d'Angeline character is bisexual. But in other countries, this isn't the case--or at least, if their cultures don't allow them to express it. Much of the story is spent in countries other than Terre d'Ange, and sometimes this is a point of CultureClash. |
| 132 | * In Creator/DianeDuane's ''Literature/TheTaleOfTheFive'' fantasy series, bisexuality is culturally universal in the world it takes place on. To the extent that they have laws dictating that everyone must have at least enough heterosex to produce a couple of children. After that, they can go back to their real loves. |
| 133 | * In Creator/PiersAnthony's ''Literature/ApprenticeAdept'' series, the serf class on Photon can be inferred to be mostly bisexual--mostly out of having to cater to the whims of the Citizen class (lead character Stile mentions "consensual heterosexual encounters", implying there's been homosexual ones and possibly voluntary). There are, however, only two verified bi characters (Tania and Tsetse--naturally both female and hot.) |
| 134 | ** Note that this only became the case [[AssPull in the last book.]] Prior to that, homosexuality was barely even sidebarred. |
| 135 | * In the Literature/MerryGentry series, pretty much all of the Fey are supposed to be openly bisexual. Merry herself is all about the heterosex, of course, so that she can [[AuthorAvatar reflect the author's own feelings]] about sex with another woman, which seem to be "ewww gross but that's actually kind of interesting". |
| 136 | * In Hamilton's other series ''Literature/AnitaBlake: Vampire Hunter'' the number of minor and major male characters who ''aren't'' bisexual can probably be counted on one hand (and there are quite a few male characters) including just about every one of Anita's love interests. Interestingly it is made very clear more than once that Anita herself is not interested in women and most of the female characters that are tend to be pretty villainous. |
| 137 | * In S.M. Stirling's ''[[Literature/TheDraka Draka]]'' novels, the old 20th-Century genetically-unmodified-human Draka are straight, gay, or bi as the case may be (and with no shame or self-consciousness about their orientation ever); but the genetically-engineered New Race or ''Homo drakensis'' Draka, portrayed in ''Drakon,'' are all bisexual (and their sexual appetites always ravenous). |
| 138 | * Creator/AnneRice's ''Literature/TheVampireChronicles'': |
| 139 | ** Lestat is absolutely bisexual; he has an intense love affair with his male best friend before becoming a vampire (nothing subtextual about it; they kiss multiple times, live and sleep together, and are strongly implied to have sex), and harbors deeply erotic thoughts about him even after the transformation. Considering the nature of his inclinations and relationships afterward, it's pretty obvious that he retains a pronounced attraction to men even after his ability or desire for physical sex is lost when he becomes a vampire. |
| 140 | ** In Armand's book, she finally had the main character have sex with persons of different genders before he was turned. |
| 141 | ** The same author's ''Cry to Heaven'' runs on this trope. The main (castrated) male character has love affairs with people of both genders, although his same-sex relationships are more numerous and generally more dwelt upon by the author. His two most lasting affairs are with another castrated man and a woman, respectively, and he thinks of both of them as the loves of his life at different points in the novel. He even carries on a sexual relationship with a cardinal in Rome, who (at first) justifies the affair with the church's belief that castration renders the person neither male nor female, and thus [[TooDumbToLive a loophole to rules about celibacy.]] It doesn't last. |
| 142 | * Creator/LarryNiven's ''Literature/KnownSpace'': According to one interpretation, which is in line with the way the Puppeteers themselves generally explain it to non-Puppeteers, Pierson's Puppeteers can be regarded as an entire race of bisexuals. Males are sapient and produce gametes, while females are non-sapient and provide gestation space. There are males who produce sperm and males who produce eggs, while females contribute no gametes but carry and bear the offspring. The female dies after childbirth, and the gay couple raises the kids, no sex except reproduction though. Would be CastFullOfGay if the couple didn't have sex with a female at one point. An alternate interpretation, one that a human character stumbles upon and considers more accurate, is that the non-sapient "females" are in fact a different species that the Puppeteers are parasitic upon--similar to the Ichneumon wasps that lay their eggs in live insects so that the wasp larvae can eat the host alive. The "sperm-producing male" is the Puppeteer male, while the "egg-producing male" is the Puppeteer female. |
| 143 | * Basically every book by Billy Martin, a.k.a. Creator/PoppyZBrite. The exception would be when [[CastFullOfGay everyone is gay]]. |
| 144 | * Most of the characters in Creator/JeanGenet's ''Literature/QuerelleDeBrest'' have sexual relations with both men and women. In the opening chapter, the author underscores that Lt. Seblon is the only primarily homosexual character, the other men, including Querelle, are either bisexual or else engage in SituationalSexuality in either direction. |
| 145 | * An astonishing number of the female characters in the ''Claudine'' stories are bi. This is shrugged off with the ignorant contemporary views of sexuality--as Claudine's husband says, "What you little animals do is charming and doesn't mean anything." It's [[DoubleStandard another matter entirely]] if a man should be interested in both sexes. |
| 146 | * In the novels by Gregory Maguire (especially ''Literature/TheWickedYears''), everyone is bisexual until they state they don't care for one or both genders. (Especially if you're descended from the Thropp line.) Hell, in terms of ruining your childhood, it wouldn't be much of a stretch to pin this on the [[Literature/LandOfOz Baum Oz books]]. |
| 147 | * In Fiona Patton's ''Literature/TalesOfTheBranionRealm'', pretty much everyone is bi, and this goes completely unremarked. There is even a Guild of Companions (a cross between bodyguard, courtesan, same-sex sexual partner, and spy) who are contracted to the nobility. The first book revolves around the Crown Prince's relationship with his mother--she wants him to get married and have an heir, he would prefer to shack up with his Companion. He starts a civil war over this. His mother, BTW, has four Companions of her own. |
| 148 | * In Creator/RobertAHeinlein's ''Literature/TimeEnoughForLove,'' Ishtar and Galahad agree to "Seven Hours of Ecstasy," even though they have so far seen each other only in all-concealing biohazard-protection suits and, thus, neither knows the other's sex. It is strongly implied that in their society (the Howard Families colony-world of Secundus), it is considered in bad taste even to care. |
| 149 | ** Each one is pleasantly surprised to learn the sex of the other, as Ishtar is oddly tall and Galahad is oddly short. And both are absurdly beautiful, particularly Galahad (think the statue of David, except not terrified). |
| 150 | ** It's also implied in ''Literature/StrangerInAStrangeLand'' that sexual bonding in the Church of All Worlds can occur between any water brothers regardless of gender, although this is done extremely subtly by Heinlein's standards. |
| 151 | ** In ''Literature/IWillFearNoEvil'', Johann (a dying billionaire) has his brain transplanted into a new, young body and becomes Joan. With the body of a woman and the brain of a man, is his attraction towards women or men the gay one? |
| 152 | * An InformedAbility in the ''Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse''. In ''All-Consuming Fire'' Benny says that bisexuality is the norm in the 25th century (although she personally isn't). Subsequent books set in Benny's home era have offered no evidence of this. |
| 153 | * ''Literature/TheNeanderthalParallax'': |
| 154 | ** Every Neanderthal shown has a male and a female mate. "Nearly all" are said to, but the exceptions aren't seen. Enforced by virtue of living in a segregated society (females all live in the city center, males all live on the rim; the two meet for four days out of every month that they periodically adjust to avoid or encourage fertility, with the latter occurring only once a decade to limit population growth). May also invoke SitchSexuality and/or IfItsYouItsOkay. |
| 155 | ** It's unclear if the "exceptions" are those who aren't bi, or are those like Ponter, whose woman-mate Klast died of cancer before the events of the series, so he just has a man-mate [[spoiler:until he and Mary are bonded at the end of the third book]]. Daklar Bolbay was Klast's woman-mate, and she split up with her man-mate as well after [[spoiler:he was castrated when his brother assaulted somebody]] so she has ''no'' partner as of the time of the novel. |
| 156 | ** We might surmise that some Neanderthals with purely straight or gay orientations also exist and just have a close friend/housemate instead, though it isn't made explicit. |
| 157 | * WordOfGay about the ''Literature/LiadenUniverse'' novels is that Liadens should be assumed to all be bi. We see several homosexual encounters but all the permanent arrangements we see on screen are heterosexual--unsurprising for a culture that puts huge weight on providing an heir. |
| 158 | ** However, the ''Literature/LiadenUniverse'' novels don't feature all that many permanent partnerships. Liadens tend to contract a temporary marriage where it is agreed in advance which House will have permanent sole custody of the child to be produced. |
| 159 | * ''Literature/{{Swordspoint}}'' and ''The Privilege of the Sword''--perhaps not ''everyone'' is bi, but the only monosexual major characters are the villainous Lord Ferris (a depraved heterosexual, perhaps?) and [[spoiler:Marcus]], whose straightness may or may not have been caused by childhood trauma (thereby inverting RapeAndSwitch). |
| 160 | * Due to the nature of a dragon's mating flights and the fact that over 50% of the dragon population are females that mostly take male riders, it's implied that at least 80-90% of dragonriders in Creator/AnneMcCaffrey's ''Literature/DragonridersOfPern'' series are at least bisexual. Only Gold riders (1%) and Bronze riders (5%) are exclusively heterosexual. |
| 161 | * In Janet Morris' ''The High Couch of Silistra'' and sequels, while being straight seems to be the social norm, homosexual sex is apparently commonplace and completely acceptable. Estri, who begins the novel as a [[HighClassCallGirl well-woman]] has a lot of experience servicing men, but when a customer essentially forces her into lesbian sex with another well-woman, she admits to being very aroused by the experience. Chayin and Sereth, two of her primary lovers, also have sex with each other, though only off-screen. |
| 162 | * In ''Literature/TheCulture'', considering that the line between species and gender is completely blurred and deconstructed, everyone just seems to go with what they like, no matter what that is. And considering that Culture humanoid citizens can change gender and move into non-humanoid bodies with multiple sexes and... Look, suffice to say that if you brought up sexual orientation to a culture citizen they'd presume you were from a very ''very'' backwards planet. |
| 163 | ** This is reflected in their language, which does not differentiate between sexes. |
| 164 | ** In fact, Gurgeh from ''Literature/ThePlayerOfGames'' is considered bizarre because he's straight and has never changed his sex. A friend of his also seen as weird because she spends almost all of her time as female. |
| 165 | * Explicit in the [[Literature/PostSelf Post-Self]] setting, where life sys-side is all but queer-normative. The exception is intraclade relationships. This is intentional: [[spoiler:True Name and Jonas encouraged a queer-normative society, with Jonas suggesting the intraclade relationship taboo as a way to control True Name via her relationship with Zacharias]]. |
| 166 | * In ''Literature/TheStoneDanceOfTheChameleon'' by Ricardo Pinto, sexuality is pretty much discarded as a point of interest, where straight and gay relationships are equally commonplace. The problem comes where you have the Chosen (who are the undisputed [[MasterRace "supreme race"]] so to speak) and the other races (who act as their slaves and who aren't even allowed to look at their faces). Considering that all subservient races are completely oppressed by the Chosen and horrifically bound by The Law, there tends to be a ''lot'' of sexual abuse, rape, and subjugation of both genders of those races... and some of the stuff the more sadistically-minded Chosen are into crosses the line of "torture" and becomes BrainBleach incarnate. In fact, when the main character (who is a Chosen, but brought up away from their culture), finds out that another Chosen has raped his half-slave brother, said Chosen can't understand why he's so upset and is genuinely shocked that he cares so much. Nuff said. |
| 167 | * Creator/ArthurCClarke's novel ''Imperial Earth'' includes a line in which the protagonist's best friend is described as "aggressively normal," because he seems to have ''no'' preference between males or females--most people in the late 23rd Century go both ways but have at least a slight inclination toward one gender or the other. |
| 168 | * Creator/UrsulaKLeGuin's works: |
| 169 | ** The Literature/{{Hainish}} story "Another Story or a Fisherman of the Inland Sea", introduces the traditional culture of Planet O where pretty much everyone has to be bi for a successful marriage. Marriage is not between two people but four, two men and two women--a man and woman of the Morning moiety and an Evening man and woman. Every partner in the marriage has a husband and wife from the opposite moiety but has a strictly chaste marriage with their partner of the same moiety. The story "Mountain Ways" features a newlywed man struggling with the fact that he doesn't want intimacy with men-- he is, in fact, "straight" as we on Earth would term it. His more worldly husband assures him that people who ''aren't'' bisexual do exist, even on O. |
| 170 | ** In ''Literature/TheLeftHandOfDarkness'', the setting is a planet where the dominant species are asexual and agender most of the time, but periodically go into heat, becoming male or female at random once a month. Not only do Gethenians find it strange to prefer loving one sex or another, they find it strange to prefer ''being'' one sex over the other. |
| 171 | * In ''Literature/{{Palimpsest}}'' it's not as much as Everyone Is Bi but "Everyone is so desperate to go back into Palimpsest that they will slept with anybody with the mark, no matter the gender". |
| 172 | * Many Creator/MaryRenault novels fit this trope. She wrote a lot of historical fiction set in ancient Greece, where bisexuality was considered the norm, for males at least. Some of her Greeks are exclusively or near-exclusively heterosexual or homosexual, but many aren't. The characters in her contemporary novels are also often quite flexible about gender. |
| 173 | * In the ''Lyremouth Chronicles'' series by Creator/JaneFletcher, this is the standard situation for the people on the mainland (the islanders have a more [[BuryYourGays mediaeval]] approach towards same-sex relationships), to the point where being exclusively attracted to a single sex is almost incomprehensible and rather rare. The closest the mainlanders get to homo/heterosexuality is preferring a single sex, which is put on the same level as a preference for tall people, or people with blond(e) hair. |
| 174 | * Most of the characters in Creator/BretEastonEllis' novels are bisexual. They are usually depicted as having sexual encounters of both kinds within the storylines. It may be a bit of WriterOnBoard. |
| 175 | * In ''Literature/OutlanderLeander'' by Eisah, Leander and Ellora argue which one will flirt with a Geuranian man to get information. Neither ever considers that the other man would prefer one gender or the other. |
| 176 | * Dorne in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' has this reputation as its [[PlanetOfHats hat]], having a more liberal take on homosexuality -- and sexuality in general -- than the rest of Westeros. However, while several Dornish nobles ''are'' openly bisexual, Martin's standard treatment of [[PlanetOfHats sweeping generalizations]] suggests this reputation is exaggerated. |
| 177 | * About half the cast of ''Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray'' is bi. Then again, it was written by Creator/OscarWilde. |
| 178 | * In Daniel Handler's ''Adverbs'', the narrator states that everyone is bi. Many otherwise straight male characters have sex and/or fall in love with other male characters. |
| 179 | * In Joan Slonczewki's ''Elysium'' novels, everyone is bi in the FreeLoveFuture. In ''Brain Plague'', one male character only dates women, "his obsession medieval." He does get into a relationship with another man but asks him to become a woman. |
| 180 | * In Creator/SamuelRDelany's ''Triton'', not everyone is bi but most people are. The plurality sexuality for females is male-oriented bisexual and males are most often female-oriented bisexuals. |
| 181 | * In ''Literature/ThePardonersTale'' Alex is openly bisexual with no clear preference for either gender. |
| 182 | * Strongly hinted to be the future of human society in the Creator/NeilGaiman short story "Changes". After all, when it's possible to [[GenderBender completely change to the opposite biological sex]] right down to the genetic level by [[EasySexChange popping a pill and waiting a few hours]] the whole question of sexual orientation and indeed gender identity becomes somewhat academic. |
| 183 | * Blink and you miss it, but it's implied in the ''[[Literature/MalazanBookOfTheFallen Malazan]]'' prequel ''Literature/TheKharkanasTrilogy''. It seems to be the norm that among the Tiste people, marriage happens between opposite-sex partners in order to produce children, but outside of marriage, no one seems to bat an eye at whoever anyone is sleeping with, and several point-of-view characters are shown to be attracted to people of both genders. |
| 184 | * In ''Lions Of Al Rassan'' by Creator/GuyGavrielKay, all ''men'' seem to be at least AmbiguouslyBi. Could be a subversion as it seems to be culturally expected (in-universe) of men, especially nobles or royals, to be {{Extreme Omnisexual}}s. |
| 185 | * In ''Literature/TheMachineriesOfEmpire'', everybody seems to be pansexual, though it's hard to tell, given how little attention anyone is paying to things like sexual orientation. |
| 186 | * In the ''Literature/ImperialRadch'' series, the Empire of the Radch has no societal concept of gender, and one Radchaai expresses confusion at how the specific kind of genitalia people have is such SeriousBusiness in some cultures. If anyone in the series is particular about their partner's sexual characteristics, it goes unmentioned. |
| 187 | * In Tansy Rayner Roberts's ''Literature/MusketeerSpace'' (''Literature/TheThreeMusketeers'' [[RecycledInSpace gender-flipped IN SPACE]]), assume everyone is bisexual unless specified otherwise - Aramis is a lesbian and Porthos is the only explicitly straight character in the book. |
| 188 | * {{Downplayed}} in ''Literature/Aeon14'': many characters do prefer partners of one sex or the other, but bisexuality is common and unremarkable. This includes viewpoint characters Jessica Keller and Sera Tomlinson in the main series, and Kylie Rhoads in ''Perilous Alliance'' (divorced from a male spouse and currently in a relationship with a lesbian woman [[spoiler:[[LoveCannotOvercome at least at first]]]]). |
| 189 | * ''Literature/BooksOfTheRaksura'': The titular {{Humanshifting}} species' genders, gender roles, and social organization are considerably different from humans', and none of them show any indication of caring about gender where potential romantic or sexual partners are concerned. |
| 190 | * ''Literature/CaptivePrince'': Most characters in the series are fine with either gender, although their preferences might lean one way or the other and a few are exclusively gay or straight. Sexual orientation is never mentioned explicitly, but Damen makes a note of the fact that Laurent isn't interested in women at all. |
| 191 | * Because WizardsLiveLonger in the ''Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant'' series, WordOfGay says there is no straight after a few centuries. |
| 192 | * In the ''Literature/{{Nightrunner}}'' series Skalans and the [[OurElvesAreDifferent Aurënfaie]] don't even blink at same-sex relationships and nobody seems to question it if somebody has lovers of either gender. Protagonists Seregil and Alec are both bisexual and people speculate that they are lovers long before they actually are, even though both have publicly been with women. Also, the Street of Lights, a neighborhood of UnproblematicProstitution, has houses with different colored lights indicating whether they offer women for men, men for women, women for women, or men for men so that patrons can select based on what they are in the mood for. Some houses show more than one color of light. |
| 193 | * ''Literature/SoThisIsEverAfter'': No character is ever explicitly referred by one sexuality or another and seem to all be interested in anyone regardless of gender. Arek sees all members of his party as possible romantic prospects and possibly attracted to him, despite some of them also being blatantly attracted to women. |
| 194 | * The lead character in ''Ancestral Night'' by Creator/ElizabethBear would be gay if she hadn't adjusted her brain chemistry to be ace, but this is apparently uncommon enough in galactic society that one male pick-up artist suggests only being attracted to one gender is ''pathological'', and she should probably adjust her brain chemistry to "fix" ''that'' as well. |
| 195 | * ''Literature/TheQueenOfIeflaria'': No one sees anything odd about Esofi marrying a woman; the only question is the heir, [[GenderBender but that's not an insurmountable obstacle]]. She explicitly notes that, like most other people, a person's gender doesn't really matter for her in terms of picking a spouse. |
| 196 | [[/folder]] |
| 197 | |
| 198 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 199 | * ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'': |
| 200 | ** Everyone in the main cast is at the very least bi-curious. The ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode that introduces Jack Harkness states that [[ExtremeOmnisexual his omnisexuality]] is common for the century (51st) that he grew up in, in which the [[Franchise/StarTrek Captain Kirk]]-style [[BoldlyComing approach to first contact]] has been the norm for so long that species and gender lines have become muddled. As Creator/StevenMoffat explains, it's a future where the whole human race is pansexual. Of the Torchwood gang, Tosh and Owen are properly bisexual, Ianto is either just [[IfItsYouItsOkay bi for Jack]] or lying about not being into men who are not Jack, Suzie is seen snogging Gwen, and Gwen doesn't elaborate on which aspect of being kissed by various female villains weirds her out. (WordOfGay has confirmed that Gwen is also bisexual). |
| 201 | ** A flashback involving two female members of Torchwood 3 in the 19th century (Alice and Emily) shows that they are a lesbian couple. At least one of them may be bi, given that she finds Jack to be pretty, but that may simply require the possession of sight. |
| 202 | ** You can probably just safely assume that everyone in a Creator/RussellTDavies show is bisexual unless explicitly stated otherwise. Davies has explicitly stated that he doesn't really believe in rigid definitions of sexuality and that all self-identified straight people have at least minor gay tendencies and vice versa. Creator/StevenMoffat uses this trope a fair amount, too, though not as much as Davies. |
| 203 | ** PlayedForLaughs in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS36E10TheEatersOfLight The Eaters of Light]]". The ancient Romans consider 2017 native Bill Potts's lesbianism to be rather old-fashioned. NotThatTheresAnythingWrongWithThat, it's just that normal people like both instead of restricting themselves like that, that's all. Bill is suitably confused. |
| 204 | * ''Series/TheDailyShow''. ''Everybody'' on the show has either shown bisexual tendencies on screen or simply mentioned having had sex with both genders. More often than not, the bisexuality is played as either comedic misunderstanding themed (Jason Jones once mentions that he married a gay man, after misinterpreting a recent ruling allowing gay marriage) or the correspondent is gay for pay (as seen with Rob Riggle, who had sex with men for money in order to earn the cash to buy an iPhone.) |
| 205 | * Creator/JMichaelStraczynski's philosophy for ''Series/BabylonFive'' was that in 2258, sexual orientation is a non-issue--not that everyone is bi, people just don't make a point of it. He suggested early on that one of the main characters was bisexual. This turned out to be Commander Ivanova, but it only came up a couple of times. |
| 206 | ** Another interesting note is in the movie ''[[Film/BabylonFiveTheRiverOfSouls The River of Souls]]'' we find out that a holographic program in a holo-brothel was illegally created with an image of Captain Elizabeth Lochley. Mr Garibaldi discovers this program is especially popular with women. |
| 207 | *** It's never established in canon whether Lochley's relationship with her late friend Zoe (who was temporarily resurrected in [[Recap/BabylonFiveS05E08DayOfTheDead "Day of the Dead"]]) was a sexual one, especially since they spent her one night alive just talking. On the other hand, it turns out that Lochley has missed her enough to be using "Zoe's dead" as her ''computer password'' twenty years later. ([[WordOfGay Word]] of Creator/NeilGaiman, who wrote the episode, is that [[https://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/183433704896/ they were indeed a couple]].) |
| 208 | ** In a subtler incident, Marcus Cole and Dr Franklin pose as a newlywed gay couple when undercover on Mars. Nobody considers this unusual, though people aware that it's a cover do consider it funny--not the idea that they might be gay, but because they make such an ill-suited couple. |
| 209 | * WordOfGay for ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'' is that all Cylons are bi. This is actually seen in the Three and Six models. |
| 210 | * ''Series/SexAndTheCity'': In the episode "Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl...", Carrie dates a man who later reveals himself to be bisexual. In the last scene, Carrie meets his group of friends at a party and discovers nearly all of them have dated each other at some point, with gender apparently being a non-issue, though there is one effeminate man they refer to as their "token straight" friend. |
| 211 | * ''Series/{{Farscape}}'': |
| 212 | ** Sexuality is completely bypassed as an issue. When you have trans-alien relationships, the actual gender of whom you're attracted to becomes moot. It's also implied that humans are comparatively very rigid and backward when it comes to sexuality. Both D'Argo and Chiana seem surprised that humans generally start having sex so late (D'Argo first had sex when he was... seven, Chiana's just confused that they dress provocatively if they're considered underage), and Aeryn illustrates how in the Peacekeepers sex is fine as long as it doesn't involve any emotions. Chiana at least certainly doesn't make any distinction... |
| 213 | ** If you count dreams, fantasies, illusions, and mind probes, Crichton had sex with every single member of the crew, including a BDSM fivesome with Rygel. Part of the point of all of these incidents is that even if Crichton never acted on them, he certainly ''thought'' about sex with all his crew members. |
| 214 | ** One particularly amusing episode featured an alien who, after being annoying comic relief for 47 minutes, closed out the show by coming on to D'Argo. Up to that point, D'Argo and the viewers had assumed the alien was male (the role was filled by a male actor), but she assures everyone that she is, in fact, female and "Quite the looker." It's not clear whether D'Argo is more turned off by her masculine (by everyone else's standards) appearance or just by her personality. At episode's end, Chrichton asks Aeryn if she is in fact "The female of her species" (although he was probably just joking, since Peacekeepers are HumanAliens). It's hard to say where this episode puts the cast in terms of this trope, except to demonstrate just how weird and unpredictable ideas like sexual identity and gender roles become in a cross-species environment. If everyone isn't bi, they might as well be, because all terms and definitions are more or less out the window. |
| 215 | ** Chiana is quite obviously an ExtremeOmnisexual, but there are plenty of comments by/about D'Argo in particular that reveal he just might go both ways as well. The two that come immediately to mind are when Chiana proposes that Crichton have sex to get over his writer's block and when asked with whom, Chiana replies "Me, him, whoever", referring to D'Argo. Also, in the episode when John gets married and asks D'Argo to be his best man, D'Argo replies "I'm with Chiana now, John", the implication being that he'd be perfectly willing to be John's ''best man'' if he were single. In the episode ''Scratch and Sniff'' John and D'Argo may or may not have slept together; they were so incredibly drunk and drugged up that they blacked out afterwards and couldn't remember if there were girls involved. |
| 216 | ** This may be verging into Everyone is Gender-Fluid, but in an episode where the crew keep switching bodies, it's shown that both Aeryn and Crichton are intrigued by temporarily possessing each other's anatomies. |
| 217 | * ''Series/NipTuck'': Several of the characters have been bisexual and several of the heterosexual men have been raped by other men. Julia becomes a lesbian in season 4 but goes back to her usual two men, Christian and later Sean. Liz, a staunch lesbian, relaxes her standards for Christian. Matt falls in love with Ava, almost gets compelled to do gay porn to pay for his meth habit, and briefly becomes a prison wife in the final season before reuniting with Ava. Merril Bobolit becomes Escobar Gallardo's prison bitch. Gina is seen to have had sex with several men and one woman in one episode. Kimber as a porn star frequently slept with women for work, and frequently had threesomes to make Christian happy. Quentin Costa is a bisexual intersex rapist. Christian briefly had gay dreams about his best friend/business partner Sean. |
| 218 | * ''Series/TheMightyBoosh'': Ended up like this by season 3 for the most part, if the character wasn't gay. Virtually every minor or major character mistook Vince for a woman and hit on him, and didn't seem put off when he turned out to be a man. Male villains fell for Howard as well, notably the Hitcher, who only wanted to rape women before him. In season one, Howard's female crush showed lots of interest in Vince, but her last appearance saw her falling in love with a female panda, who had previously been on a date with Vince and had an abusive panda ex-boyfriend. Vince himself is AmbiguouslyBi. |
| 219 | * ''Series/ATouchOfCloth'', thanks to RuleOfFunny and the StylisticSuck of the 'writers' ignoring characters' sexualities when it suits them. Ann Oldman is a lesbian but her main love interest is Jack, Jack mostly has female sexual partners but inexplicably hooks up with Tom Boss at the end of Part II, and the HoYay is omnidirectional. |
| 220 | * [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]] by ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia''. Co-writer Glenn Howerton said he sees every main character this way, except Mac, who is gay. |
| 221 | * ''Series/BlackSails'' qualifies for this trope. Most of the characters that are shown in romantic/sexual relationships have them with both genders -- Eleanor, Max, [[spoiler:Anne Bonny and Captain Flint]]. It's not majorly remarked upon either. |
| 222 | * ''Series/{{Hannibal}}'': It would be far easier to list the major characters who haven't shown some sign of sexual fluidity or outright gone for both sexes. Hero Will Graham and the title character long had a romantic subtext that eventually became text. Alana Bloom had an affair with Hannibal before marrying Margot Verger, who had previously seduced Will for a baby. Jack Crawford would seem to have SingleTargetSexuality for his dying wife, but even he seems to be charmed by Hannibal on some level. |
| 223 | * In the future world of ''Series/TheExpanse'', a significant fraction of humanity appears to identify as pansexual. |
| 224 | * ''Series/{{Westworld}}'': The robotic Hosts in the park are all programmed to not be picky in regards to gender so that they can be seduced by any guest. This is most clearly seen in the saloon, where the prostitutes proposition all guests that enter, regardless of gender. |
| 225 | %% ''Series/LostGirl'': Everyone being bi for Bo is EvenTheGirlsWantHer, not this |
| 226 | * ''Series/WhatWeDoInTheShadows2019'': The three main characters, Nadja, Lazslo and Nandor are all bi/pansexual, with the creators confirming the same of all vampires in their universe. |
| 227 | * ''Series/BraveNewWorld'': Bernard comments that "savages" usually have an odd pickiness over gender in their sexual partners, implying in New London no one does (or at least is meant to). This is backed up by numerous orgies which show a lot of people switching between opposite- and same-sex pairings, along with Lenina's friend Frannie casually wanting a "[[UnusualEuphemism tickle]]". |
| 228 | * ''Series/FeelGood'': {{Discussed|Trope}} by Mae in a standup routine, where as a result she thinks people can be "moved" somewhat from one side to another. |
| 229 | * ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'': This is a frequent joke within the fandom, as the characters of Sara Lance, John Constantine, [[GenderBlenderName Charlie]], and Gary Green within the main ensemble are all canonically bisexual/pansexual. There are also recurring jokes in the show that suggest that other main characters, like Nate Heywood, Ray Palmer, or Zari Tomaz/Tarazi, may also be bisexual. |
| 230 | * ''Series/RoswellNewMexico'': 2 out of the 3 main aliens have come out as bisexual and Isobel outright states that this trope may apply to the aliens. |
| 231 | -->'''Isobel:''' I mean, what does an alien care about human gender constructs? |
| 232 | * ''Series/SearchParty'': Most of the main cast is revealed to be bi in the final season. [[spoiler:Dory and Portia were assumed to be straight until entering into a relationship, and while Elliot identifies as gay, he has sex with Dory. Drew is never confirmed to be bi, but he did kiss Elliot while drunk.]] |
| 233 | * ''Series/IKnowWhatYouDidLastSummer2021'': Nearly half of the main characters (Alison, Lennon, Johnny, and Margot) are bisexual. |
| 234 | * ''Series/GenV'': Out of the main cast, Luke and Andre are at least AmbiguouslyBi, Jordan is both bigender ''and'' bisexual, and [[spoiler:Marie has InterruptedIntimacy with Jordan in their male form, and after a period of lost time, she's cuddling up to a female Jordan]]. Emma admits to entertaining the idea of a threesome with Golden Boy and his girlfriend Cate early on, too. |

| 244 | * Just about the entire pantheon in Myth/ClassicalMythology. There’s a few asexuals like Hestia, Athena, and Artemis, and then there's Hades and Persephone who only had eyes for one another (very rare case in the Pantheon), but aside from that, basically everyone else is so casual with sex the idea of heterosexuality is down-right quaint. |

| 246 | |
| 247 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 248 | * ''TabletopGame/MaidRPG'' includes seduction rules that are specifically mentioned as "not in any way governed by gender." |
| 249 | * ''TabletopGame/BlissStage'', as the trope namer for LevelUpAtIntimacy5, tends to have a lot of this. |
| 250 | * In ''TabletopGame/ChangelingTheDreaming'', bisexuality is extremely common among the Kithain, and their society is extremely tolerant of the idea. This is mainly because fae souls keep {{reincarnati|on}}ng throughout history, most changelings have changed genders between incarnations at least once, and [[ReincarnationRomance true love that defies the tides of time]] is pretty much a proven fact in their society. |
| 251 | * ''TableTopGame/TwilightSparklesSecretShipficFolder'' is a game about {{Shipping}}, so ubiquitous bisexuality helps keep the options open. |
| 252 | * Dragonblooded ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'' are nobility, and part of the standard sort of breeding program where the goal is plenty of children, but none out of wedlock. Being eminently practical, they encourage Dragonblooded to take same-sex lovers during youth, so there is no chance of producing bastards, but eventually settle down in a heterosexual pairing to generate the next generation. |
| 253 | * In ''TableTopGame/{{Monsterhearts}}'', the "turn someone on" move can succeed against any character, regardless of gender or stated sexuality. |

| 261 | [[folder:Video Games]] |
| 262 | * In the main ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games, "Attract" only works on Pokémon of the opposite gender, but in ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonRescueTeam Red and Blue'', where only the player character has a definite gender, Attract works on (virtually) everyone. While "Attract" affects only the opposite gender in the main series, the same cannot be said to "Charm" and "Sweet Kiss", though the earlier might apply to the Pokémon's cuteness. |
| 263 | * ''VideoGame/TheSims'': For the sake of simplicity, every Sim can romance any other Sim, at least as far as gender goes. There are some obstacles, but none of these are gender. |
| 264 | ** The ExpansionPack ''VideoGame/TheSims2: Nightlife'' complicates things: positive romantic interactions increase a Sim's invisible attraction score to that gender, allowing better chemistry. Gender preference can also decay, so if your Sim flirts with male Sims all the time, they can suddenly stop being attracted to female Sims. Pretty weird, even for a game like ''The Sims''. Whereas if they flirt with both they will be attracted to both. |
| 265 | ** The issue with ''The Sims'' was that a Sim would flirt with everyone. They changed it in ''2'' so that while a Sim would be amenable to sex with either sex, they would only autonomously have one preferred sex, defaulting to heterosexual but homosexual if the user chose to play them that way. |
| 266 | *** In ''The Sims 2'', Sims are asexual by default until a romantic interaction is performed by or on them. |
| 267 | ** In ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', inactive sims default to heterosexual unless the active sim performs a homosexual interaction with them. This can then result in [[{{Gayborhood}} an entire town of gay people.]] |
| 268 | ** Much like ''The Sims 2'', upon the game's release everyone started off with no gender preference in ''VideoGame/TheSims4'' unless they were created as a married couple in Create a Sim, where their preference would then be maxed out for their spouse's gender. A patch introduced sexual orientation in CAS for the first time, allowing players to set Sims as attracted to men, women, both, or neither. However, Sims are still bisexual by default. |
| 269 | * The [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe asari]] in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' are a OneGenderRace of blue women (or at least, female-presenting blue people who all go by she/her pronouns) who can breed with anyone of any species or gender, because asari conception is kicked off by a mind meld during intimacy and the resultant offspring are always asari. Needless to say, many asari appear to be bisexual, because they seek people to mate with based on different criteria (with a focus on species, not gender). A few side conversations suggest they don't fully understand the concepts of gender and orientation; for instance, an asari's father is the parent who didn't give birth, even if both parents are asari or the non-asari parent is a human woman. While the asari are noted to be extremely attractive by just about everyone, and it's implied that IfItsYouItsOkay is in effect for some of their partners, this is also [[AvertedTrope averted]] in regards to other species partnered with asari. A straight human female character in ''VideoGame/MassEffectAndromeda'' notes that she's not interested in women and turned down advances from her asari colleagues while serving in their military. |
| 270 | * In the cutesy ''VideoGame/AnimalCrossing'' clone ''VideoGame/MagiciansQuestMysteriousTimes'', any classmate can be romanced by either gender. |
| 271 | * ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'': |
| 272 | ** One of the succubus's abilities, Seduce, can affect males and females equally. |
| 273 | ** Similarly, each version of the Theramore's Fall scenario has a male enemy that using a stun ability called "Dashing Smile", which affects players of either gender. |
| 274 | ** During the Valentine's day event, [[PlayerCharacter PCs]] can exchange pledges of adoration with [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] for love tokens. Gender is only a factor in that female [=NPCs=] will romance [=PCs=] wearing cologne and male [=NPCs=] will romance [=PCs=] wearing perfume. Either gender can wear either cologne or perfume. Worth mentioning that to get the Largest prize you need at least twenty pledges from each city, Darnassus is all female and Ironforge is all male. On Horde-side, Silvermoon is all male. |
| 275 | * In ''VideoGame/CityOfVillains'', Succubi have a power called "Come Hither" that prevents players from being able to attack them directly. Interestingly, it works on both genders just as easily. The spell is broken immediately if the Succubus attacks the player. |
| 276 | * In ''VideoGame/CultOfTheLamb'', [[PlayerCharacter the Lamb]] has the option to marry any of their disciples regardless of gender (with their own being [[AmbiguousGender ambiguous]]). |
| 277 | * ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'' is of the "player-sexual" variety. In a notable departure from past entries in the series, any character who can romance Alear via an S-Support (i.e. most characters who aren't a minor, a relative of Alear, or physically much older than Alear) can do so regardless of Alear's sex. Reportedly, the Japanese version has age be less of an issue and makes romance in some of the conversations more obvious. Downplayed beyond this, as romantic implications between other characters are rare regardless of sex and don't go beyond implications as none of them have paired endings with anyone except Alear. Alear's sex likewise doesn't really get mentioned as a factor in their attraction to Alear (who is often noted to simply be an inspiring and attractive presence), so its unclear if all romance-able characters consider themselves bisexual, they simply have the orientation the player wants them to have (player-sexual), or if for a number of them it is IfItsYouItsOkay. |
| 278 | * Quite possibly the men of ''VideoGame/MetalGear'', in which there are three canon bisexual characters -- Colonel Volgin, Vamp, and Dolph himself. There's also [[HomoeroticSubtext subtext]] between Solid Snake and Otacon despite their own things for the ladies, and while Big Boss has no canonical partner he benefits from [[EvenTheGuysWantHim Everyone Being Gay For Big Boss]] with [[spoiler:EVA/Big Mama]] and especially when [[spoiler:Ocelot goes so far as to sacrifice his own personality/self by using nanomachines and hypnotherapy to make himself think that he was Liquid Snake]] -- hence "Liquid Ocelot" -- throughout the events of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots''... all for the cause, all for Big Boss. |
| 279 | ** In ''Metal Gear Online'', both male and female characters can learn the Charm ability which causes them to do a sexy dance, stopping other characters in their tracks. The sexy dance does not discriminate based on gender. |
| 280 | *** Neither do the play-boy magazines |
| 281 | ** Big Boss can also go on a date with Miller at the end of Peace Walker and take photos of him on the beach in a thong. That they have sex afterwards may also be relevant. |
| 282 | ** Dr. Strangelove, she has taken a liking for Otacons dad, and she was totally into The Boss, much like Ocelot is to Big Boss. |
| 283 | * Parodying the RomanceSidequest, all of your homies in ''VideoGame/SaintsRowIV'' can be "romanced" with a single button press, regardless of your character's gender. And yes, ''all'' of them. In the same playthrough. As many times as you want. Even CID, the [[{{Robosexual}} spherical floating robot]]. But not Creator/KeithDavid, who just wants to keep things professional. Pierce is notable in that no matter which gender you are, he'll tell you he [[IfItsYouItsOkay doesn't normally swing that way]]. Also, romancing Ben King gives the longest cutscene, in which the Boss seemingly wants to confess his/her feelings for King but CannotSpitItOut, to which King reassures him/her that he already knows what he/she wants to say and that he wants him/her to say it, as the [[BowChickaWowWow porno music]] builds. [[spoiler:[[BaitAndSwitch The Boss just wants him to sign his/her copy of his book]]]]. |
| 284 | * ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' |
| 285 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', if you get Personality stat high enough, [=NPCs=] of either gender, ''everywhere'' that you go, will greet you with the phrase "I like what I see" or something similar. This is, of course, regardless of which gender (or even race) the PC is. Additionally, the response to many of the "Admire" [[CharmPerson persuasion options]] appears to be a response to a come-on or pickup line, once again regardless of the player character's gender (or race). |
| 286 | ** In ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'', which adds marriage as an option for the first time in the series, ''every'' marriageable NPC can be married by the player character, once again regardless of the player character's gender or race. Seems to be a bit of a case of GameplayAndStorySegregation though, as in-universe gay couples not involving player characters are extremely rare, though there still doesn't seem to be any prejudice against them. Of course, this gets {{Lampshaded}} by MetaGuy and FourthWallObserver M'aiq the Liar: |
| 287 | -->''"The people of Skyrim are more open-minded about certain things than people in other places."'' |
| 288 | * Downplayed in ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines'': most women who can be seduced are available irrespective of the player character's gender, though male [=NPCs=] are more likely to be heterosexual. |
| 289 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Cupid}}'', you can match up anyone with anyone. |
| 290 | * ''VideoGame/LiberalCrimeSquad'' allows you to seduce people of any gender (and you often don't know their gender before you try to seduce them). The chance of success depends solely on your skills. |
| 291 | * In ''VideoGame/StarOceanTheSecondStory'', any of the characters in the party can have [[RelationshipValues romantic feelings]] for any of the other characters, regardless of gender (or age, or marital status.) |
| 292 | * In ''VideoGame/FallenLondon'', there are storylines that allow the player to romance partners of any and every gender...including at least two threesomes. In fact, the text is always written so the PC's gender never makes a difference; "the Dashing Smuggler slips his arm around your waist", for example. (It helps that the PC's gender can be set as "Gentleman", "Lady" or "My dear sir, there are individuals roaming the streets of Fallen London with the faces of squid. Squid! Do you ask them their gender? And yet you waste our time asking me trifling and impertinent questions like that? It is my own business, sir, and I bid you good day.".) |
| 293 | * ''Franchise/DragonAge'': |
| 294 | ** In ''VideoGame/DragonAgeII'', all the main romance options are available to both genders (appropriately, one of them is voiced by Eve Myles from ''Torchwood''). DLC character Sebastian is the only heterosexual-only romance, as well as being celibate. Several of the non-romanceable companions are also implied to have bisexual tendencies to varying degrees. Aveline can kiss Hawke regardless of gender at the end of her Act 2 loyalty mission, Bethany expresses some curiosity about Isabela's sexual history with other women and Varric has some slightly flirty dialogue with Anders ([[CargoShip though his heart belongs to Bianca, his crossbow]]). Sebastian is implied to have had encounters with men as well as women before he took his Chantry vows, which prohibit sexual relationships. Even Bianca apparently feels some "confusion" when Isabela suggests she needs "a woman's touch on her trigger." |
| 295 | ** The nation of Orlais and the nobility. Because sleeping your way to the top is basically a necessity to play [[DecadentCourt the Grand Game]], and since there's no significant stigma against homosexuality in Thedas, it's a well-known fact that most Orlesian nobles will bed anyone, male or female, to climb the social ladder, regardless of their actual orientation. |
| 296 | ** The other games in the series avert this trope, with exclusively gay and straight potential romance partners mixed in. |
| 297 | * In ''VideoGame/GuildWars2'', the Sylvari are noted to be like this. They're a race of plants mimicking the humanoid form, are incapable of sexual reproduction, and socially have no concept of gender. Developer blogs about Sylvari society and culture have noted that Sylvari consider gender completely irrelevant, including in matters of love. |
| 298 | * In ''VideoGame/DragonsDogma'', you can end up with anyone. Whether it's a male or female Arisen, you can have male on male and female on female. Some scenes ''don't even change'' regardless of gender, and this will cause some characters to come across as this. |
| 299 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Borderlands 2}}'', any character that shows some attraction to the [[PlayerCharacter Vault Hunter]] will do so regardless of the Vault Hunter's gender, several gay relationships are mentioned in passing, and virtually everyone in Sanctuary has some interest in [[MsFanservice Mad Moxxi]]. Although this seems to be because the game didn't have any way of detecting which character you were playing as at all. The following game, ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'', ''could'' detect this, and as a result has more characters that are explicitly attracted to only one gender and even specific characters. Janey Springs for example crushes hard on Athena but says Nisha isn't her type and isn't into men at all (though she does admire Wilhelm's beard). |
| 300 | * In ''VideoGame/SpaceColony'', it is possible for any two colonists to become romantically involved. |
| 301 | * In ''VideoGame/HighSchoolStory'', you can pair up ''any'' two students and send them on a date. This includes [=NPCs=] who may canonically have a straight crush. |
| 302 | * ''VideoGame/HuniePop'' includes a setting for whether the PlayerCharacter is male or female. None of the girls you romance react any differently, and [[LoveFreak Kyu]] will express her...''appreciation'' of the girls the PC dates. Although it's implied that most of them are just attracted to whatever sex the protagonist is and the only truly bisexual characters are Kyu, Jessie, and probably Venus. |
| 303 | * In ''VideoGame/{{Elona}}'', you can marry and have a child with almost any NPC, regardless of sex or species. In fact, the only effect gender has in the game is [[spoiler:determining which form your pets will take when they evolve]]. |
| 304 | * ''VideoGame/WorldsDawn'' asks the player their gender preference at the start of the game, which determines whether bachelors, bachelorettes, or both are going to be interested in you. Given that the {{Gay Option}}s are one of the things most often mentioned in reviews, it's likely that this is the norm and the mayor simply tells the other townspeople to not hit on you if you say you're only interested in one gender. |
| 305 | * ''VideoGame/Fallout4'': Every companion that you can enter into a romantic relationship with, male or female, is bisexual. This isn't an instance of the game ignoring the Sole Survivor's gender, either -- a companion you're with may refer to you with gendered terms, such as [=MacCready=] saying, "Hey, handsome" if the Sole Survivor is man or "Hey, gorgeous" if the Sole Survivor is a woman. |
| 306 | * ''VideoGame/StardewValley'' features six bachelors and six bachelorettes you can romance and marry, regardless of the gender of your player character. Though it's quite played with, as many of them are shipped with an opposite-sex partner if you don't pursue them romantically, and pursuing a same-sex relationship with one will usually cause them to note that [[IfItsYouItsOkay they've never felt this way about another guy/girl before]]. The one exception is Leah, whose ex Kel will be brought up, and eventually show up, if you reach the romance stage with her. Kel will be the same gender as the player character, retroactively establishing Leah as whichever sexual orientation is needed. |
| 307 | * ''VideoGame/RuneFactory5'', as of its international release (and a subsequent patch for the Japanese version), allows players of either selectable gender to romance any eligible bachelor or bachelorette, regardless of the gender of their chosen love interest. |
| 308 | * ''VideoGame/CrushCrush'': While only Fumi and Pamu specifically mention an interest in women, all of the girls will date you regardless of whether you're playing as a male or female character. |
| 309 | ** The same goes for ''Crush Crush'''s spin-off ''VideoGame/BlushBlush''; Eli is the only guy who specifically states that he swings both ways "like a pendulum", but all the guys will enter romantic relationships with you regardless of your in-game gender. |
| 310 | * In the original ''VideoGame/AvatarHigh'', any student could date any other. Its sequel ''Avatar University'' changed this so that characters have specific sexualities. |
| 311 | * ''VideoGame/DigimonStoryCyberSleuth'' has a ''lot'', especially if the main character is Ami. It'd be easier just saying Officer Date isn't one, despite being a {{Tomboy}}. |
| 312 | * In ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedOdyssey'', all romance options are available to the player regardless of whether they're playing as [[PlayerCharacter Alexios or Kassandra]]. Given that the game takes place in UsefulNotes/AncientGreece, it's probably as {{Justified}} as this trope will ever be. |
| 313 | ** Happens again in ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedValhalla'', where the main character, Eivor, can be played as male or female (though [[spoiler:they are canonically a woman]]), and [[ReallyGetsAround pretty much all of them can be romanced in a single playthrough with very little bearing on the plot]]. |
| 314 | * In ''VideoGame/MyTimeAtPortia,'' all the single characters can be romanced regardless of whether you're playing as a male or female character. This is especially notable in the case of Albert, who otherwise is [[CasanovaWannabe very vocal in his appreciation of pretty ladies]] (though this does [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday cast some suspicion on that...]]), and Antoine, who's unambiguously CampGay. |
| 315 | * ''VideoGame/GranblueFantasy'' has, with a few exceptions (Metera, who is straight, and Sandalphon and Vira, who are very deeply in love with a man and a woman, respectively), everyone is bisexual, or at least not explicitly leaning either way. Some of this is due to the player character of either gender being able to participate on both sides even in gendered holidays (Valentines and White Day are both gendered in Japan, with the latter even existing because of it), but many of them show interest in both sexes. In a rarity for fiction, the characters also have preferences for which gender they prefer, even having their lines changed depending on whether you play as Djeeta or Gran if it applies to them. |
| 316 | * Every party member in ''VideoGame/{{Tyranny}}'' is bisexual (except possibly Lantry, who's a bit too old for romance). Kyros is implied to be bi (having a RoyalHarem with both sexes) and their empire is very gender-equal in general. Attraction to both sexes seems to be common throughout. |
| 317 | * WordOfGay from [[https://twitter.com/DaveOshry/status/1277456089622081536 Dave Oshry]], CEO of New Blood Interactive, has confirmed that all characters in games developed by New Blood (including ''VideoGame/{{Dusk}}'', ''VideoGame/AmidEvil'', ''VideoGame/{{ULTRAKILL}}'', and ''VideoGame/{{Gloomwood}}'') are gay/bi. |
| 318 | * ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'': All of the potential companions can be {{romance|SideQuest}}d regardless of the player character's gender and, with a single exception, gender doesn't matter to the other [=NPCs=] with whom the PC can flirt. The closest anyone else comes to mentioning sexual orientation is a pimp who enquires after the PC's preferences for the night (and accepts "surprise me" as an answer). The same goes for the CreatorDrivenSuccessor ''VideoGame/BaldursGateIII''. |
| 319 | * {{Downplayed|Trope}} in ''VideoGame/{{Littlewood}}''. The Hero can date any of the Townsfolk, regardless of gender, but the Hero [[GenderInclusiveWriting doesn't have a defined gender themselves.]] Since many of the Townsfolk are implied to be attracted to the player even if they don't pursue their RomanceSidequest, it's more like everyone is [[SingleTargetSexuality Hero-sexual.]] The only character with obvious sexual preferences outside of the Hero is Bubsy, who seems to enjoy attention from anyone, but mostly directs his own attentions at men. [[spoiler: The epilogue, unlocked by getting married, [[PairTheSpares does feature the other townsfolk you didn't romance pairing up with their crushes]], and it does suggest that Dalton, Iris, Terric, Laura, Ash, and Lilith are all at the very least heterosexual, while the male Bubsy and Maximilian pair up while the female Zanna and Mel pair up, but most of this is un-hinted-at in the main game.]] |
| 320 | * ''VideoGame/Cyberpunk2077'': Well, not ''everyone'', but in addition to [[TheRockstar Kerry]] being bisexual,[[note]]In lore; in gameplay, he's only available romantically to a V with a masculine voice and body type[[/note]] BadassBiker Panam can be romanced by a female [[PlayerCharacter V]] with a masculine frame and vice versa for [[ByTheBookCop River]]. [[spoiler:[[CorruptCorporateExecutive Meredith Stout]]]] is available as a one-night stand for any V. [[TheFixer Rogue]] is willing to sleep with [[{{Deuteragonist}} Johnny]] regardless of V's body,[[note]]Though it's difficult to say if this is a reflection of her actual identity or more of an IfItsYouItsOkay kind of situation[[/note]] and Johnny himself alludes to [[ExtremeOmnisexual not really caring about the gender of someone willing to sleep with him]]. V can also be played as bisexual. The only character with an explicitly confirmed orientation that isn't bisexual is [[GadgeteerGenius Judy]], who's a lesbian. |
| 321 | * ''VideoGame/DarkestDungeon2'': The Amorous relationship can develop between any two heroes, regardless of gender. Whether, for example, the Man-at-Arms hooks up with the Grave Robber, the Highwayman or both (consecutively or concurrently) is entirely down to chance. |
| 322 | * ''VideoGame/HarvestMoonOneWorld'': The player can choose to play as a boy or girl farmer and can marry male or female love interests, it will make no difference. |
| 323 | * ''Abaddon: Princess of the Decay'': Any of the six party members can have an OptionalSexualEncounter with another party member, regardless of gender. It is entirely possible for a male and female party member to pair up in one playthrough, and for them to then form pairs with a member of the same sex in another. |
| 324 | * Starting with the remake ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasonsFriendsOfMineralTown'' and carrying through to ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasonsPioneersOfOliveTown'' and ''VideoGame/StoryOfSeasonsAWonderfulLife'', evey bachelor and bachelorette is availiable to be wooed and married by the player, regardless of gender. ''Friends of Mineral Town'' even has an achievement for wooing every potential canidate in town. |
| 325 | [[/folder]] |
| 326 | |
| 327 | [[folder:Visual Novels]] |
| 328 | * All of the main characters in ''VisualNovel/TheArcana'' is romanceable, no matter what your character is (your character's gender is never stated but you can choose pronouns and name) and WordOfGay has confirmed everyone in Vesuvia to be bisexual. |
| 329 | * Zigzagged in ''VisualNovel/ChoicesStoriesYouPlay''. In stories with a gender-customizable main character, they can date any of the love interests regardless of gender, and though it isn't usually commented on, some of them are canonically bi/pan (such as Emma from ''High School Story'', Lucas from ''It Lives in the Woods'', and Kieran from ''The Cursed Heart''). In gender-locked stories, most of the love interests are only into women, though there are still canon bi love interests in these stories (such as Zig and Becca in ''The Freshman'', Seth in ''Red Carpet Diaries'', and Lily and Kamilah from ''Bloodbound''). However, this trope is [[NoBisexuals inverted]] in some stories with only one love interest (regardless of whether the protagonist's gender is customizable), since the main character's sexuality is "[[SingleTargetSexuality exclusively the gender of the love interest]]" and vice versa. |
| 330 | * The entire cast of ''VisualNovel/DanganronpaV3KillingHarmony'' can be romanced by the PlayerCharacter in the game's bonus mode. |
| 331 | * ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'' [[Franchise/NasuVerse and its many spinoffs]] may or may not count, as several characters have been [[WordOfGay officially confirmed by the creators]] to be bisexual or explicitly stated so themselves in-universe. It makes sense on the Servants’ part, as most of them are from eras and cultures with very different views on sexuality and same-sex relationships than today. Non-servant characters are also subjected to having both canon opposite- and same-sex attractions or huge amounts of HoYay and LesYay. |
| 332 | * ''VisualNovel/LittleBusters'' has both [[HomoeroticSubtext subtext]] and ''outright text'' for both same-sex and different-sex attraction from a lot of characters, the protagonist included (even if the game only has het romance routes). For a bonus, both Riki and Komari either seem to be or outright are attracted to both Natsume siblings. |
| 333 | * In ''VisualNovel/MagicalDiary'', not only can the PC date both male and female options, but many [=NPCs=] have explicitly dated both, and no one raises an eyebrow. [[WordOfGay Hanako has also confirmed that this game is running on this assumption]]. |
| 334 | * ''VisualNovel/MonsterProm'': All four playable characters (two guys and two girls, though you can choose what pronouns any of them prefer) are able to date all 6-8 available romantic interests (three guys and three girls, plus a male-sounding computer and a dark god-turned-schoolgirl in the DLC). Even among the rest of the cast and secondary characters (many of which have secret romance routes), it's made no distinction of gender and pretty much everyone goes for everything. The sole aversions to this are [[spoiler:Kale and Coach, who are both asexual]]. |
| 335 | * In ''VisualNovel/Va11Halla'', Glitch City is particularly accepting of different sexualities for a {{Cyberpunk}} {{Dystopia}}, and Jill serves and encounters a lot of people who run the full spectrum of humanoid sexuality, from Alma, who is strictly hetero; to Dorothy, who services both men and women in her work as a {{Sexbot}}; to Mario and Betty, who are gay. Jill, herself, is bisexual, having had a slew of relationships with other men throughout high school and a very serious relationship with a lesbian in college. This acceptance isn't uniform, however; Jill's old girlfriend was disowned by her mother because her peers were homophobic. |

| 338 | [[folder:Web Animation]] |
| 339 | * {{Discussed|Trope}} several times in ''WebAnimation/OverlySarcasticProductions''. Red and Blue have both discussed how Ancient Greece had a different view of sexuality from modern western culture. For one, being bisexual was assumed to be the default, while heterosexuality, asexuality, and homosexuality were exceptions from the norm. While the number of bisexuals in real life may not have been much different from what it is today, characters in stories were generally assumed to be bisexual until proven otherwise, much like how heterosexuality is assumed until proven otherwise today. |

| 343 | %%* ''[[http://isukiyomi.comicgenesis.com Michiko Monogatari]]'' |
| 344 | * By this time, pretty much everyone in ''Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}}'' has had both a gay and straight experience with the exceptions of the boss Galasso and Ronald Reagan. Faz even refers to the Kinsey scale, albeit in its original, not modern, meaning ("Now, if I have sex with a woman, I will be a 3!"). |
| 345 | * Most of the cast in ''Webcomic/SparklingGenerationValkyrieYuuki'' have shown or talked about attraction to both genders. The rest aren't confirmed as either bisexuals or monosexuals as of yet. Of course, most of the cast are [[Myth/NorseMythology Norse mythological figures]], where this trope also applies. |
| 346 | * Bisexuality is the norm for the drow in ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'', with purely heterosexual and homosexual people as minorities. |
| 347 | * ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' is a funny case, since characters who have been genderbent by Tedd's TF Gun develop a temporary attraction to the opposite gender. Depending on how you look at it, between one and two characters are naturally bisexual (Ellen is an OppositeSexClone who has all the memories of her original male self, as well as those of a heterosexual alternate self from another universe, and is only just coming to understand that she's a bisexual homoromantic. Grace is [[SingleTargetSexuality "Teddsexual"]] regardless of Tedd's current gender.), but seven of them have been genderbent, and of those the four straight ones have all had to deal with attraction to both genders. (Justin and Nanase are exempt from this due to being naturally gay--when genderbent, they just get ''even more'' attracted to guys and girls, respectively.) And it turns out the straight ones aren't exactly straight--Sarah has recently started considering herself "A Kinsey 2 ''at most''", and [[spoiler:Elliott is starting to realise that the way he feels about guys when he turns into a girl has actually not got much to do with turning into a girl.]] It's unclear whether repeated transformations alter a person's sexuality and/or gender identity, or if it just allows them to realize feelings that were already there but unexplored. |
| 348 | * While only two characters in ''Webcomic/GhastlysGhastlyComic'' have ever been called "bisexual", almost every cast member has slept with, kissed, or had a StupidSexyFlanders moment with members of both sexes at one point or another. |
| 349 | * WordOfGay for ''Webcomic/TheChallengesOfZona'' is that [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy the Erogenians]] practice "situational bisexuality" as a matter of course and that Zona and Tula have had lovers of both sexes. |
| 350 | * Most, if not all webcomics by Creator/GiseleLagace tend this way. It's justified in that SexComedy is her bread and butter; more possible pairings = more possible jokes. On the other hand, precisely because it ''is'' used for purposes of comedy, there tend to be a number of references to this pervasive bisexuality, so it isn't exactly "taken for granted". Also, most of these comics do have a few unambiguously straight or purely gay characters, even if some do discover otherwise as their stories develop. |
| 351 | ** ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' starts out with a varied cast of gay and straight guys and girls with one bi girl and, it soon emerges, one bi guy. By the end, pretty much every single named character (and plenty of one-off extras) have had at least two or three instances where they've shown some kind of attraction to both genders, with the exception of Eulice the scary landlady and Rob the shut-in neighbor. The fact is {{lampshade|Hanging}}d on occasion, perhaps in acknowledgement of increasing fan comment on the subject -- e.g. by Zii, the aforementioned bi girl, when she calls up Dillon the very CampGay (who experimented with heterosexuality just the once, unsuccessfully, but whose experiences are ... complicated), asking to be taught the kissing technique he previously taught Gary, which just so happened to give spectacular results when used for cunnilingus and turned Gary into an in-universe SexGod. She phrases her request... poorly. |
| 352 | --->'''Dillon:''' You want ''me'' to teach you how to go down on a woman?\ |
| 353 | '''Zii:''' ''[hanging up]'' That was a dumb idea. Why can't he be bi like the rest of us? |
| 354 | ** Pretty much the entire cast of ''Webcomic/MagickChicks'' has shown that they wouldn't turn down either sex, however [[spoiler:Faith's powerful psychic connection to the school may be causing a FisherKing situation, where all the girls like girls simply because ''she'' likes girls and wants all of them to be available to her]]. |
| 355 | * ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'': Alternian [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy culture]] is binormative. Trolls [[BizarreAlienReproduction reproduce]] rather like [[InsectoidAliens social insects]] and do not form families, so gender is pretty much cosmetic. Their emotional lives center around ''4'' types of romantic relationships, 2 of which are usually sexual. While monosexual trolls exist (like lesbian Kanaya), their [[LanguageEqualsThought language lacks words]] for orientation; Karkat is nonplussed when the human characters try to explain the concept to him. |
| 356 | -->'''Karkat:''' [[NoIndoorVoice HUMANS HAVE A WORD FOR THAT?]]\ |
| 357 | '''John:''' yes.\ |
| 358 | '''Karkat:''' HOW IS THAT EVEN A THING?\ |
| 359 | '''John:''' shrug. it just is.\ |
| 360 | '''Karkat:''' HUMAN ROMANCE SURE IS WEIRD. |
| 361 | * In ''Webcomic/{{Curvy}}'' everyone seems capable of making out and having sex with virtually anyone else, on a moment's notice. |
| 362 | * In ''Webcomic/{{UC}}'', only Nicodemus is [[http://www.wanderingchaos.com/uc/100305.html confirmed]], in comic, to have dated both genders, but [[http://littlestyo.deviantart.com/art/I-am-a-yaoi-FIEND-10044216 author]] [[http://littlestyo.deviantart.com/art/Naim-Kelsi-Cuteness-34910638?qo=14&q=by%3Alittlestyo+sort%3Atime+-in%3Ascraps created]] [[http://littlestyo.deviantart.com/art/Ikku-Kelsi-cuteness-20355133 art]] [[http://littlestyo.deviantart.com/art/Naim-and-Kelsi-cuddly-chibis-11669296 suggests]] that the rest of cast is also bi. |
| 363 | * Due in part to AuthorAppeal, [[Webcomic/ScandinaviaAndTheWorld most]] [[Webcomic/{{Niels}} comics]] [[Webcomic/ManalaNextDoor of]] Creator/{{Humon}}'s portray a high number of Bi characters. Of note is ''Webcomic/{{Niels}}'', where about 80 percent of the protagonists are queer in some way, particularly the title character. |
| 364 | * Almost everyone in ''Webcomic/{{Oglaf}}'', whether due to RuleOfFunny or RuleOfSexy. Notable exceptions are Ivan, who [[IncompatibleOrientation keeps getting hit on anyway]] by a DepravedHomosexual, and Kronar's tribe of butch gay {{He Man Woman Hater}}s. |
| 365 | * In ''Webcomic/TheGlassScientists'', The whole main cast is either bi, gay, and/or ace. It comes together nicely with a sub-theme of the comic being hidden/repressed sexuality. The author has also stated for the audience to assume all their characters are bisexual unless otherwise said, which gathers every single minor character under that umbrella as well. |
| 366 | * ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': Dream!Sam (a figment of Sandra's imagination) says that everyone is this to some extent. It comes up when Sandra asks why Dream!Crystal is trying to seduce her, and Sam says that [[spoiler:Incubus]] created her by reading Sandra's memories and found Sandra's clandestine feelings for her. |
| 367 | * In [[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/five-years-of-mgdmt this]] ''WebComic/ManlyGuysDoingManlyThings'' comic, [[Film/MadMax Max]] freaks out when he realizes he's the only one at the barbecue that ''isn't'' bisexual. Later strips expand on this, revealing a good number of characters (but not everyone) have had romantic relationships with both sexes. [[http://thepunchlineismachismo.com/archives/comic/you-all-knew-i-had-to-make-a-comic-about-the-hot-dad-dating-sim Commander is afraid]] after stumbling into a meeting of attractive single fathers that he might settle down again even though he's terrible at it. |
| 368 | -->''"Anyone else surprised to hear that come out of someone dressed that much like a [[ManlyGay Rob Halford]] body-double?"'' |
| 369 | * WordOfGay confirms that all characters in ''Webcomic/SaintForRent'' are some level of bisexual unless they're asexual. |
| 370 | * ''Webcomic/MrBoop'': Seemingly no one is immune to the siren call of a threesome with Alec and Betty. Subverted somewhat by the fact that Bugs seems utterly uninterested in Alec, and only has a threesome with him in order to have sex with Betty Boop. |

| 373 | [[folder:Web Original]] |
| 374 | %%* ''AudioPlay/DirtyPotter'' |
| 375 | * Applies to all the male characters of ''WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries''. The only exceptions are Marik, who is ArmouredClosetGay; Pegasus, who is {{Armoured Closet|Gay}} ''[[CampStraight Straight]]''; Bakura, [[CampStraight who's not gay]], [[IAmVeryBritish he's just British]]; and Yami Bakura, who's not British, he's just gay. |
| 376 | * Almost everyone on Website/ChannelAwesome will flirt or perv on a person of their own gender if it aids a joke or {{fanservice}}. Or in the case of WebVideo/DemoReel, pure AuthorAppeal. The reboot of WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic {{Lampshaded}} that all the (in-universe) characters are fluid when it comes to gender and sexuality. |
| 377 | * Website/GaiaOnline's Valentines 2009 event allowed the users to send Valentines to a number of [=NPCs=], who would respond or refuse according to programmed turn-ons or turn-offs. [[TheCasanova Liam]], [[PetHomosexual Devin]], and [[MsFanservice Vanessa]] refused Valentines based on the sex of the avatar who sent it to them; everyone else had qualifications based on other things and would respond regardless of gender. |
| 378 | ** In addition, there have been three Chance Item sets based on {{Dating Sim}}s. The user can freely choose whether to pursue a male or female love interest in each, and none of the interests are restricted by the user's gender. |
| 379 | * The [[FantasticNoir Juno Steel]] storyline of ''Podcast/ThePenumbraPodcast'' falls under this trope; centuries in the future, societal norms have changed to make sexuality a non-issue. None of the six main characters are heterosexual, and quite a few supporting characters are in same-sex relationships, with many of them married. There's one [[WordOfGod confirmed straight character]], and that's [[{{CloudCuckoolander}} Mick Mercury.]] |
| 380 | * In the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom many characters and members of the fandom seem to have sex with either gender. There have been repeated surveys of the fans and usually bisexuals make up 40-60% of the group. This is at least in part because LBGT people find the acceptance and openness of the community to be an attractive social group and get into the furry aspects after joining. |

| 383 | [[folder:Western Animation]] |
| 384 | * In ''WesternAnimation/{{Archer}}'', Pam is blatantly open about her equal attraction to both genders, Cheryl/Carol cares more about her [[EroticAsphyxiation choking kink]] than the gender of the person choking her, Archer has admitted to gay fantasies about [[IfItsYouItsOK Joe Frasier]] (not to mention [[LastRequest kissing]] Ramon), [[PitySex Lana]] and [[WhatDidIDoLastNight Malory]] have both slept with Pam, CampGay Ray admits to being attracted to Lana, and Krieger is...[[ExtremeOmnisexual Krieger]]. Cyril may be the only heterosexual member of the main cast. |
| 385 | * ''WesternAnimation/Animals2016'' kind of starts with the so-called dudebro type of humor and guys wanting to get laid with girls. This absolutely goes out of the window in the following two seasons, where every character is attracted to members of the same sex to varying degrees. [[spoiler:The finale has Phil and Mike having their [[TheBigDamnKiss Big Damn Kiss]].]] |
| 386 | * ''WesternAnimation/DrawnTogether'': Every cast member seems to have slept with or kissed at least one other character of the same sex. |
| 387 | * ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': The episode "Two Guys Naked in a Hot Tub" uses a variation on this as an Aesop when Randy and Gerald masturbate in front of each other in a hot tub. This culminates in almost all of the then-current male adult male townspeople admitting to having masturbated in front of another male, declaring that "everyone's a little bit gay". |
| 388 | ** Several episodes use this for RuleOfFunny purposes as well, with many male characters being depicted with attractions to both sexes in multiple episodes despite being identified as strictly heterosexual or homosexual, including Cartman, Craig, Mr. Garrison, Jimbo, Stan's Dad, Butters' Dad, Priest Maxi, and Detective Yates. |
| 389 | ** Also applies to several female characters (Liane Cartman has sexual relations with both male and female characters, [=Mayor McDaniels=] is implied to have a husband but has had sex with both Officer Barbrady and Liane Cartman.) |
| 390 | * ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'': Maybe? It's not even entirely clear about the ''gender'' of the collective main cast. In any case, no one seems to be deterred in their crushes by little things like transsexuality or gender-switched counterparts from another planet/dimension or people who can apparently spontaneously give birth through their anuses. Or ''death''. |
| 391 | * In ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' almost every main character has had bisexual leanings: |
| 392 | ** Peter had sex with Bill Clinton and claims the happiest day of his life was when Music/{{Usher}} invited him onstage to seduce him. He even explicitly came out as bisexual in a Season 16 episode. |
| 393 | ** Lois had a girlfriend in college, has frequent HoYay with Bonnie, and agreed with Peter's "Grinds My Gears" rant about how AllWomenArePrudes, saying it's why she switched back to men. |
| 394 | ** When Meg went to prison and came back a hardened thug, she bashed her AlphaBitch bully over the head with a sack full of soda cans and then made out with her unconscious body. Another episode revolved around her [[FauxYay faking lesbianism]] in order to have friends, but she ultimately couldn't go through with actually having sex with another girl and had to come out as straight. Although said girl then pretty much outright stated that all women in the ''Family Guy'' universe are bi and only men can be gay or straight. |
| 395 | ** Stewie's sexual orientation seems to be [[RuleOfFunny whatever the current joke calls for]]. |
| 396 | * WordOfGay from one of the storyboard artists for ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', Sage Cotugno, claimed this [[FlipFlopOfGod in response]] to another storyboard artist, Kristen Gish, trying to pull GodDoesNotOwnThisWorld on the characters' sexual orientations. Incidentally, Cotugno also happens to be the creator of ''WebComic/TheGlassScientists'' mentioned above. |
| 397 | -->'''[[http://arythusa.tumblr.com/post/158982851337/do-you-think-marco-is-bi-he-seems-like-he-is-bi Cotugno]]''': Marco is bi! Star is bi Everyone is bi! It's the law now! Everyone enjoy your brand new bisexuality™! |
| 398 | * Several main characters in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' are explicitly or implicitly bisexual. WordOfGod has confirmed that the concepts of homosexuality and heterosexuality don't exist on Etheria. |
| 399 | * Pretty much every character in ''WesternAnimation/AllHailKingJulien'' is implied to be bisexual, but because it is a children's show, it is never said out loud. Most obvious examples include Mort who has been married to 12 women but is explicitly attracted to Julien, and Julien himself who usually hits on women, but doesn't mind it when men are interested in him and even is willing to mate with a fossa despite not knowing its gender. |
| 400 | * ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'': The sixth season of this show revealed that the Smith-Sanchez family is either bi or pansexual with the only member who is seemingly heterosexual being Morty. |
