So there's this person (whom we will call Bob * if the character is an Alice, in most cases she is made to sound less ambiguously Bi the Way) who seems to flirt with everyone. Maybe he has a suspiciously large number of Stupid Sexy Flanders moments; or maybe he just doesn't care about the sheer amount of Ho Yay that he seems to have. They might not say so, and their sexuality might not even become an issue, but there is a decent chance that they might be bisexual.
NOTE: If a character has Ho Yay with their Heterosexual Life Partner and no one else it's not this trope; nor is it this trope if they get shipped with every other character. In regards to the "suspiciously large Stupid Sexy Flanders moments" if an otherwise heterosexual character repeatedly mentions that they think one particular character of the same sex is attractive it's not this trope, and is more likely If It's You, It's Okay. If they say something along the lines of "I'd tap that" or makes a pass at several other people of the same sex it's probably this trope.
Compare/Contrast Ambiguously Gay, Bi the Way, and Depraved Bisexual.

Anime and Manga
- In Angel Beats!, Hinata often tells Otonashi he likes him (it's used as a joke, maybe). Later, he tells Yui he likes her and would marry her if they met when they were still alive.
- Rosiel of Angel Sanctuary. No Sense of Personal Space in a Cast Full of Pretty Boys? Yes. Combine with the outfits and dilute with No Sex Allowed In Heaven? Oh yes.
- A few characters in Axis Powers Hetalia are this. Most of the rest are Ambiguously Gay or outright bisexual.
- Graham Spectre from Baccano! tends to come off like this. His utterly massive man-crush on Ladd Russo, his complete disregard for the personal space for pretty much every male he comes in contact with, offhand comments about other men's attractiveness ("Firo, or whatever his name was… Who could have expected such a cute face to ever be capable of such horrifying cruelty?"), and then there's that thing he seems to have for Jacuzzi ("Should I let this woman go in deference to you locking up my heart?"), which peaks when he waltzes up to Jacuzzi entirely unprovoked and declares "I like you", while cocking his head as if he were about to kiss him
 ◊ before telling him he has free access to his warehouse and wandering off. But he also expresses some interest in Chane, claims that he likes older woman, and he supposedly has a thing for his own sister. He's a total nut, so who knows.
- Suruga of Bakemonogatari. Despite declaring herself a lesbian, she seems to have a number of lewd ideas involving Koyomi.
- Griffith of Berserk, at least before the Eclipse where he probably doesn't concern himself with sexuality or romance anymore. Even though we know that Griffith screwed Princess Charlotte just to make himself feel better after Guts left, he might very well have had some unrequited feelings for both Guts and Casca, judging from the fact that a) he was a complete Yandere when it came to Guts, through and through, b) before activating his crimson behelit a la Despair Event Horizon, Griffith did have a vision of he and Casca sharing a quiet, peaceful life together, child and all and to top it off, c) he gave Guts and Casca the Kubrick Stare when it was evident that they had become a couple.
- Viscount Druitt of Black Butler. He takes a liking to the maid Hannah and plenty of pretty ladies but also appears to flirt with Ciel both when he's Disguised in Drag and when he's dressed normally as a boy.
- Sebastian. To the fans he is either this, or Ambiguously Gay, but he did have sex with Matilda and it is heavily implied that he did the same with Beast. He also has a ton of Ho Yay with Ciel and other males.
- Bleach: Lisa Yadomaru clearly has feelings for her former captain Kyoraku, but is often seen reading porn magazines with lots of bikini-clad women on them.
- In Code Geass, Lelouch, as if he weren't busy enough, finds himself in the center of a Love Dodecahedron that is too complex to get into here, but suffice it to say, he's apparently been romantically linked in-universe to most of the female student body of Ashford Academy, as well as at least two of his own sisters, but also has strong feelings toward Suzaku and Rolo. Of course, he thought Rolo was his brother and Suzaku's been a close friend since early childhood, but the series never fully resolves that.
- Milly is hinted to have feelings for both Shirley and Lelouch.
- Death Note drops strong hints that Touta Matsuda is this, if not just outright gay - though he does seem attracted to Light's pretty sister Sayu in the second half of the series. He is known to be quite "fond" of Light, following him in a manner that could easily be indicative of a crush. He shows no jealously whatsoever when seeing Light with women, but this may just be him believing that Light is straight and would of course have no interest in him. His actions near the end as he shoots Light and screams at him almost look like the reaction of a lover learning the truth about his significant other. And then there's his throwing an arm around a blushing male coworker...
- Sayu, whose interest seems to be primarily in women; she happily flips through the Porn Stash she finds in her brother's room, states that Misa is "her type", and says she has no interest in dating men. However, she also mentions having a crush on a male celebrity.
- L is definitely sexually attracted to Misa (even though he says he finds her annoying), but he has enough Ho Yay/Foe Yay with Light to power a small village. L also has No Social Skills, so his tendency to stare creepily at/obsess over men and women might just be him being weird.
- Lavi of D. Gray-Man. He goes nuts whenever he sees a pretty girl but he also seemingly has considerable Ho Yay towards Allen and Kanda.
- D.N.Angel: Satoshi Hiwatari. It's hinted that he may have feelings for Risa. In the anime, it is also hinted that Satoshi may have romantic feelings for Daisuke. When this is brought up, he doesn't openly confess to anything, though he never denies the accusations either. If anything, he encourages the idea, which has led to the source of much confusion regarding his motives. It has even been stated outright by Dark that Daisuke is the one who causes Satoshi to turn into Krad. Krad himself has also hinted at Satoshi possibly wanting more than a friendship from Daisuke at least once in the anime, and more than twice in the manga. In any case, he at least wants to be close to Daisuke despite the danger of Krad to both of them.
- Ayame of Fruits Basket, unless he's straight. He is in love with his adorable assistant Mine Kuramae but has no trouble flirting with Shigure. Apparently, when he was Student Council President he claimed that if needed, he'd give himself to both men and women alike.
- Haru too, based on how he has a female Love Interest, flirts with Tohru and seems to like to hit on Yuki. He even told Tohru that Yuki was his "first love".
- Hinako of Goshuushou Sama Ninomiya Kun. On the one hand she seems to like, whether jokingly or not, to flirt with and harass Shungo but also appears to like to Skinship Grope Mayu (whether or not its out of genuine interest or because Mayu is a succubus is never made clear).
- Ippo Makunouchi of Hajime No Ippo. He's got a quite sweet crush on Kumi Mashiba and she more or less reciprocates, but his attitude towards his very handsome rival Ichiro Miyata is so tinted with Ho Yay that his friends don't hesitate to say he's "gay for Miyata". And there's his also very good-looking Russian friend Volg, too...
- Itsuki Koizumi from Haruhi Suzumiya seems to like invading the main male character's personal space a little too much in the anime, and in the novels especially he makes it quite clear that he trusts and likes Kyon. He claims to act the way he does because Haruhi expects it and would make it real if he didn't, which would be a plausible explanation if he actually did do so while Haruhi is watching. Also, in the 4th novel his alternate universe self admits to having a crush on Haruhi, but this isn't brought up in the main storyline - although many of his actions and words towards Haruhi, especially his constant claiming of being "the expert of her heart" imply some secret affection for her. Whatever the case may be, Itsuki's bond with Kyon could be seen as a fumbled attempt at a bromance or an actual romance slowly developing.
- Haruhi Suzumiya herself. She makes it very clear right from the start that she doesn't care about the gender of the one she is with, as long as he or she is not an ordinary human being. She doesn't seem to have been dating girls though, but perhaps that was simply because only guys confessed to her. Also, she seems to like Kyon and also likes to Skinship Grope Mikuru (whether its out of genuine interest or not remains to be seen).
- Her declaration to Kyon in the first episode "I like interesting people, whether it's a girl or a boy doesn't matter to me" makes her less Ambiguously Bi and more canonically Bi the Way, though Kyon is the only person (boy or girl) she shows real interest in (Les Yay with Mikuru aside).
- Gokudera of Katekyo Hitman Reborn! seemingly has considerable Ho Yay towards Tsuna (though its not clear if its really love or just Undying Loyalty). He also blushed and had a nosebleed upon seeing Lal Mirch (a beautiful woman) naked.
- Mukuro, who has subtext with Tsuna, Hibari, and Chrome.
- Yuuri and Sara in Kyo Kara Maoh.
- Sheryl Nome of Macross Frontier, definitely into guys, takes a seemingly random interest in Ranka when they first meet (and stares at her QUITE a bit), and makes an off-hand remark about Nanase's voluptuousness (which Nanase then calls her out to stop staring at her with those "lecherous eyes"). She also has a habit of creating multiple holographic versions of herself on stage in the movies, which she uses to french kiss herself; the second movie takes this one step further with the holographic Other-Sheryl appearing to be a guy. And the one guy she has an interest in suffers from Dude Looks Like a Lady.
- Vincent of Pandora Hearts. He seems to like Ada but he also is obsessed with and loves his older brother Gil. What kind of love is up for debate.
- Yuujirou of Princess Princess is shown to have an interest in girls but may or may not also have feelings for Tooru.
- A lot of characters in Revolutionary Girl Utena are Ambiguously Bi like Utena herself, Wakaba, and Akio as well as others.
- In Rosario + Vampire, young Yukari announces to her classmates that she's fallen in love with both Moka and Tsukune, but it's not clear if she herself fully understands the implications of that statement.
- Minto from Tokyo Mew Mew has a hero-worship for Zakuro that definitely verges into Les Yay at times (she even confesses her love at one point, though in context it's ambiguous what kind of love she was talking about), but also shows interest in guys and when Ichigo asked the other Mews what they considered attractive, she pictured a male dancer.
- Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru: Luka. He's was Yuki's lover when Yuki was a girl but now also seems to still have feelings for Yuki now that he's been reincarnated as a boy.
- In Zero No Tsukaima Julio is canonically in love with Louise, but may or may not also have an interest in her boyfriend Saito as shown when he tells Saito whether jokingly or not that he loves him and wants to kiss him as well as Louise. His supposed attraction to Saito is only mentioned twice though.
- Kirche is very fond of both Saito and Colbert and she seems to like Louise and Tabitha as well.
- Shinji Ikari of Neon Genesis Evangelion is shown to be attracted to both Rei and Asuka, and has Unresolved Sexual Tension with his guardian Misato, but also has much Ho Yay with Kaworu. His sexuality is never definitively stated, though given that this is Evangelion "screwed up" is always an option.
- Fate from Mahou Sensei Negima! is heavily implied to have been in love with Luna's older sister, and then later outright states that he has a crush on Negi.
- Sumire from Venus Versus Virus has a very intense bond with her friend Lucia, who is later confirmed in the manga to be in love with her, but also has a very important male love interest. The manga's end is rather ambiguous whether Sumire likes Lucia back or whether it's a one-sided love affair.
- Several characters Hourou Musuko. Nitori seems predominantly attracted to girls but has been stated to have a crush on her male friend at one point, though considering the events surrounding it may have been her being confused. Momoko has a Romantic Two-Girl Friendship with her best friend but has been teased for liking a former male classmate.
- Nyamo from Azumanga Daioh. She has a rather Les Yay filled relationship with her friend Yukari and it would fit the "lesbian PE teacher" stereotype. Yukari mentions a love letter in the past and the manga confirms they went to an all-girls school, so unless Nyamo fell for a male teacher or a boy outside of school it's probable she gave a girl the letter. Still Nyamo talks about dating men and has been implied to have had sex with them.
- Most likely Jeremy and definitely Ian from A Cruel God Reigns, although theirs may be more a case of If It's You, It's Okay Also hinted at with Jeremy's roommate William.
Comics
- Hercules was implied to have had relations with a large number of women and Northstar.
- In the X-Treme X-Men alternate universe, he's explicitly shown to be in a relationship with Wolverine, making both characters a little less ambiguous.
- Deadpool. Plenty of attraction to girls, but also flirts with guys constantly, and his canon attraction with Cable. He has the "faintly hysterical overreaction to being called gay" thing down pretty well, too, and the less said about the crossdressing the better. Cable himself could fit this trope; he comes from a gender-ambiguous future and so may not recognize present-day sexual norms anyway, and people frequently comment on his unlikely affection for Deadpool.
- Wonder Woman, with more or less subtlety Depending on the Writer.
- Black Canary, especially under Gail Simone's pen. At one point she was going to quip that she was "75% heterosexual" thus making her Bi the Way, but placeholder dialog confusion turned it into "heterosexual to the bone". And when she believes she's going to have to fight a Duel to the Death she tells Huntress to tell both Barbara and Oliver Queen, her ex-husband, that she loves them. In that order. To say nothing of this◊.
- Babara herself in several media. The main consensus is she's at least attracted to men but the comic-verse has her having a Romantic Two-Girl Friendship with the likewise Ambiguously Bi Dinah and the DCAU has implications of her and Supergirl.
Film
Literature
- Harry Dresden from the The Dresden Files. Though he can be quite chauvinistic and has a lot of male gaze and has dated several women in the story, he also shows a lot of attraction to men. He often remarks how Greek God like half brother Thomas is, even when he knows they're related and pretends to be his boyfriend at one point to break into his flat. He regularly notices the muscles on his friend Michael, on the werewolf Billy while he is NAKED and various other Knights of the Cross. He also has a LOT of sexual tension with Mob Boss Marcone. Harry repeatedly describes Marcone's eyes, Marcone sends goons to follow and protect him, keeps trying to get Harry to work for him, and despite Harry's very black and white morality, he can't bring himself to hate Marcone.
- Eragon from Inheritance Cycle comes off as this. Despite his obsession with an unattainable elf girl, he travels and becomes EXTREMELY close to his half-brother Murtagh, and starts getting vengeful and sulky when Murtagh turns out to think he's an annoying little twerp. Additionally he never notices Arya's sexual characteristics (read: breasts)*
perhaps because he's the badass MAGIC CHOSEN ONE and thus above such things as staring at boobs , but he spends a lot of time ogling his master's muscles, "port-red lips" and long, flowing hair, and starts staring intently at the guy's "hairless groin" during a naked bath scene. He also ogles the "hard and lean" muscles of his crippled ex-nemesis, and even drops his pants (but not underwear) in front of his cousin to show a very intimately-placed bruise.
- In The Long Walk, McVries seems to care about Garraty in a way that extends beyond friendship. He's also mentioned to have had a girlfriend.
Live Action TV
- Hawkeye Pierce from M*A*S*H has flirted with everybody except for Sherman Potter. Admittedly, he was just doing it to be a Jerk Ass half the time, but there are ways of doing that that don't make people question your sexual preferences.
- Dean from Supernatural proclaims that he likes women, but he has a ton of Ho Yay with Castiel and other males and has been known to check out other guys. He also becomes nearly breathless in the presence of Dr. Sexy M.D.
- Ambiguously bisexual seems to be a trend: Crowley, Bobby (he used tongue) and Gabriel all show signs of swinging both ways.
- Pretty much every demon or angel from Supernatural can be seen as at least ambiguously bi, given their predilection for genderswapping their meatsuits/vessels. Take Meg when she possessed Sam and went after Jo, or Lucifer appearing in both male and female forms to essentially seduce his vessels. Although the entire concept of gender is pretty ambiguous for angels especially, making the question of sexuality even more confusing.
- More evidence for Dean: when they are chasing a siren, for every other man in the episode, the siren takes the form of a beautiful woman, but for dean, the siren takes the form of a handsome young FBI agent. Granted, the episode made it out to be more along the lines of the siren taking the "brother" role with Dean, as opposed to the "lover" role, but it does raise some eyebrows.
- Even more evidence for Dean comes in season 8, when he gets flustered when being flirted with by a young guy in a bar. He doesn't claim to be straight or leave the situation until he gets a phone call, only clarifying that it's a "federal investigation." He refers to it to Sam as "my gay thing." Later, he seems disappointed that Aaron was just playing him to get information.
- Stiles Stilinski from Teen Wolf is very interested in whether or not he's attractive to gay guys, and asks both Scott and Danny whether they find him attractive. It's become a Running Gag by the second season. And that doesn't even begin to cover all of the Ho Yay moments Stiles has with Derek Hale.
- And after Sheriff Stilinski finds him at a gay bar, Stiles tells his dad that he "could be [gay]." His dad's only argument is that Stiles can't be gay because his fashion sense is so awful.
- It is also later revealed that Stiles collected a great many phone numbers while at the bar in question. No explanation is offered as to why he did this.
- Amy Farra Fowler from The Big Bang Theory makes constant remarks on how sexy her (female) bestie is, but will still vie for the affections of men and Sheldon.
- Karen Walker on Will And Grace. Married to men several times, has had many male partners, but, well, That Other Wiki has a whole section on her page about her sexuality.
- There's little doubt that Shawn in Psych likes the ladies, but he's also really quite cool about flirting with/trying it on with the guys as well:
Shawn: This is a great plan. Callum McAllister deserves to be commended.
Gus: (sarcastic) Maybe you should date him too.
Shawn: (confident) Maybe I will.
- Lassiter also shows some signs of ambivalent bisexuality. E.g. there's an episode where he ducks to avoid a woman in the police department because he made out with her at a picnic. Several seconds later he ducks again, when a different person passes.
Shawn: That's a dude!
Gus: (deadpan) Must have been some picnic.
- The title character of House is attracted to Cuddy and has had sex with female prostitutes, but also has a lot of Ho Yay with other males. In particular he's hinted to like Wilson a lot, and Hugh Laurie has agreed with the statement that Wilson is "the other love of [House's] life."
- Penelope Taynt of The Amanda Show. She's utterly obsessed with Amanda and once had a thing with a guy who was just as obsessed with Amanda as she was.
- DS James Hathaway of Lewis. His only two love interests have been women, plus one transwoman. However, he has some ambiguous background regarding reasons for leaving his training for a priesthood, he gives homophobic advice to his gay friend, which would ultimately lead to his suicide and when asked by Lewis whether or not he is gay, he does not give a clear answer.
Lewis: Are you gay?
Hathaway: What's that mean?
Lewis: You know what that means
Hathaway: What, that there's boys and girls and a nice neat straight line down the middle, and gay's if you like shoes and musicals and straight's if you read Loaded and eat Yorkie bars?
- Both Xena and Gabrielle from Xena: Warrior Princess are infamous for this. Their 'relationship' and the subtext behind it, despite all of the relationships with men they both had (and the former's continual Foe Yay with Ares), is still one of the best remembered things about the show, even by people who haven't seen it. Word Of God flip flops around, but at one time it stated the characters were common-law married.
- Lampshaded in the Season 6 episode "You are There", when a modern day reporter (Long Story) asks Xena and Gabrielle about the 'nature' of their 'relationship'. Just as the Warrior Princess and her long time side kick were about to answer, the reporters cameras cut out.
Nigel: It's dead?! The battery?! This is the world's greatest story and you're telling me the battery is dead?! I don't believe this! Oh, man!
- Ziva in NCIS, although it's also been suggested that she drops these hints just to torture Tony.
- In Shake It Up not only do the two leads Ce Ce and Rocky have a ton of Les Yay but in one episode when Rocky is asked why she's going to a dance with a particular boy she says that the only two people tall enough to dance with her when she's in heels is that boy and the Captain of the girls basketball team then she looks upset and says "and she didn't ask me."
- Faith from ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer while she does routinely sleep with guys, due to the shear amount of Les yay/ Foe yay she has with Buffy and Willow as well as her general attitude towards sex and partners most fans have more or less come to this conclusion.
- Eliza Dushku (who played Faith, for anyone that might live under a rock) said that she always thought that Faith definitely had something for Buffy.
- Although in season 8, Faith herself denies this.
- Sam in iCarly. She seems to like guys but almost none get ever last past one episode, including the one in "iMake Sam Girlier" that such a big deal was made over. That episode also seemed to lampshade Sam's Butch Lesbian behaviors. Also, she and Carly have a lot of Les Yay. There is also speculation that Carly's brother Spencer might be bi, because of the episode where he was wearing a dress and dancing with cute guys saying, "I think I like it."
- Saprtacus Vengeance features Saxa, who sleeps with several of the male fighters. After she and Mira win a fight, she gives Mira a celebratory kiss on the lips.
- Possibly Mira herself, who while surprised by the above kiss, is not overly displeased. Her status as a (former) Beautiful Slave Girl, means she may have previously slept with women; though she wouldn't have had any choice in the matter.
- In Wrath of the Gods Saxa is quiet clearly shown to be Bi. The first sex scene is her having a foursome with Gannicus; and she later gropes another woman's breast while making out with her.
Stand-Up
Video Games
- Pete Kowalski and Vance Medici of Bully.
- In .hack//G.U. we have Endrance.
- Estelle of Tales Of Vesperia has a pretty obvious Bodyguard Crush on Yuri, although she also has way, way too much Ship Tease with Rita for it simply to be called "subtext". While Vesperia is pretty platonic on the whole, some of their moments blur that line. They also get an in-universe Portmanteau Couple Name.
- Lucia of Fire Emblem Tellius is extremely close to Elincia, yet she also has Belligerent Sexual Tension with Bastian.
- Legault from Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword occasionally makes remarks that could lead to certain assumptions being made about him in his conversations with Lloyd, Matthew, and Heath... but then again, he makes similar remarks to Isadora.
- Florina, who is afraid of men, yet lived with Lyn for a time on the Sacaean plains, and tells Lyn "Oh, I do so love you!". She can also marry Hector if she gets an 'A' level support with him.
- Ike shows all the female allies he has with the same level of professionalism as the other men in his troop, regardless of how much they obviously like him. And in his ending, he may be accompanied by one of two guys to quest for other civilizations. A character in Awakening implies that he is Ike's descendant, though in what way is made ambiguous, as a wife is never mentioned. His sister can marry and possibly bear collateral descendants, but all we know for sure is that the subject WILL cause an Internet Backdraft.
- BlazBlue has Jin Kisaragi, whose speech patterns grow very disturbing in a Does This Remind You of Anything? kind of way whenever he gets the chance to talk to his dear 'niisan'. It's established in Continuum Shift though that there is something between him and Tsubaki, but that doesn't stop the Ho Yay moments with Ragna.
- In the third Rayman game, Globox was depicted very... strangely, to say the least. In one boss fight, he shouts "Hey! Get your hands off of MY Rayman!"; if he's punched during gameplay one of the things he says is "I'm a lover, not a fighter!"; and near the beginning he hugs Rayman so closely and tightly that another character is compelled to ask "Hey, you got room for a third?". That's not even covering his dream about pregnancy and maternal attitude towards the main villain... And yet if plot points of the game and previous interpretations of the character are anything to go by, he is quite clearly attracted to other females of his species.
- All of the "Special Girls" in Harvest Moon: DS Cute are Ambiguously Bi. They can become just as smitten with you when you're playing as a girl as they did when you were playing as Pete. The Japanese version even has a gay marriage system for them under the guise it's a "Best Friends" system. Everyone calls you "best friends" but you have the exact same dialogue as in the boy version, you can have a child with them, and you go through the same courting rituals (Heart Events and all). And now we understand why the Harvest Goddess dislikes the male character after she marries him.
- The Goddess herself is this even without the Best Friend System. She and the Witch Princess are available both love interests to the male hero but have a Foe Yay filled relationship. The Goddess' notorious apathethy toward you when she's your wife doesn't help.. There's some confusion whether the Witch and her are sisters, which may either help diminish the implications of their bond or do nothing for it.
- The Mineral Town girls in Cute. They are very friendly with the main character after you befriend them and even have moments with NPCs. Similarly, but less apparent and extreme, their ancestors in "More Friends of Mineral Town".
- Luigi from Super Mario Bros. is campy and shows attraction to Prince Peasley. Still he's the Implied Love Interest to Daisy and has shown attraction to several female characters in varying continuities
Visual Novels
- Saber of Fate/stay night has her main relationship with the male Shirou, but she also doesn't mind Rin getting involved, and in the end of the Unlimited Blade Work ending actually becomes part of Rin's harem along with Shirou. In Fate/Zero her relationship with Irisviel is more than a little eyebrow-raising, though it never appears to go past the Courtly Love level. And that's before remembering that Saber is actually King Arthur, and as we all know the legend states s/he married Guinevere, and though it's specifically referred to as a Sexless Marriage that was only done so Saber's gender wouldn't be questioned the two of them seem to have had some affection for each other, though as another nod to the original legend Guinevere was ultimately in love with Lancelot.
- In Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni Rena and Shion are ambiguously bi. Rena takes home anyone regardless of their gender, age, or species. Shion has a considerable amount of Incest Subtext with her twin sister Mion, despite having a canon male love interest in Satoshi.
- Rika and Satoko have a considerably Les Yay filled relationship but there are implications that Rika is attracted to Keiichi, and arguably Akasaka.
Webcomics
- Noah of El Goonish Shive. He is well aware of this.
Noah: You are surprised I have a girlfriend?
Elliot: I ASSUMED NOTHING!
Noah: (grinning) Of course not.
- In Homestuck:
- Dirk. He has a relationship with another boy and implies his "orientation" made a relationship with a girl impossible, but calls the label of "gay" outdated.
- On the other hand, Jake is very probably bi, but there's enough ambiguity about his relationship with Dirk that it's not impossible he's really straight.
- Also, Caliborn. He is clearly interested in 'the bitches', but also has quite a bit of (very one-sided) Foe Yay with Dirk, to the point of drawing fanart of the two of them being 'more than friendly' together. (This being Caliborn, it's impossible to tell what he actually drew, though.)
- Rose confesses her love to and kisses Kanaya (and is often interpreted as having been flirting with Meenah shortly before), but is also fond of certain masculine literary figures and implies that she and Dave treated one another differently before they found out they were borther and sister.
- Ménage à 3 does this a lot: Didi, Sandra, Sonya and Gary (all supposedly straight), as well as Yuki (supposedly a lesbian) all doubt whether they might be bisexual at some point. Didi and Sandra even go as far as to try and have lesbian sex with each other, only to conclude that they're really 'two naked straight girls with poor boundary issues'. For Sonya, the question is still in the air, while Zii believes that "Yuki is not a lesbian, she just doesn't like penises" due to a childhood trauma from the work left lying around the home by her father, a manga-artist who became famous as "The Tentacle King".
- Belkar of The Order of the Stick kissed the gender-ambiguous Vaarsuvius during a New Year's party and seems to love hitting on Roy, especially when Roy is temporarily turned into a woman and Belkar hits on "her" knowing full well who it really is.
