* ''Film/TheFavorite'': Sarah is HappilyMarried to her husband and her relationship with Anne is clearly at least partially to control her and push her political agenda, but at the same time she does seem to have genuine affection for the monarch. Abigail meanwhile [[spoiler:seems to be ''just'' using Anne in her relationship with the Queen]] and has some interest in Masham, but [[spoiler:can only be bothered to give him a handjob after their marriage, more or less ignoring him subsequently and is at least implied to be using him to increase her station much as she is using Anne.]] Anne herself has been pregnant 17 times and her husband is presumably dead [[note]]He was Prince George of Denmark and he was still alive at the time part of this film was set, though he died of an illness before her[[/note]], and the film doesn't address her relationship with him. Of course, it was expected that monarchs marry and continue the royal line, so the fact that she took a husband doesn't preclude her from being a lesbian — it could have simply been her duty.

* During a news report in ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'', Tom Trench makes a joke about lusting for Cherri Bomb, who shows a lot of skin in her outfit as she appears in the footage. A short while afterwards, Charlie mentions Cherri Bomb's protege Angel Dust, and Tom Trench immediately recognizes Angel Dust as a porn star.
--> '''Charlie:''' Oh, just someone named... Angel Dust.
--> '''Tom Trench:''' The porn star?
--> '''[[PoliticallyIncorrectVillain Katie Killjoy]]''': You fucking would, Tom!
--> ''(Tom hides in embarrassment)''

** While Bucky generally treats Steve as HeterosexualLifePartners throughout ''The First Avenger'', the SuspiciouslyAproposMusic that plays in the background of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVoS67Zl1Kc one scene that takes place in a bar]] is a song about a woman whose lover left her for another. The HomoeroticSubtext being implied by the usage of that song is that Bucky has an unrequited crush on Steve, and the real reason he's upset is because he thinks Steve is leaving him for Peggy, as well as foreshadowing his DisneyDeath protecting Steve.

** Kamala’s attraction to boys like Kamran is evident in her debut series, but some of her gleeful fangirling over Captain Marvel can sound borderline infatuated. [[https://youtu.be/S_zWPfd6OWY?si=hf-sBXi8WNxccXPq A deleted scene]] from ''The Marvels'' makes this even more apparent, as Kamala's reaction to meeting [[AmazonianBeauty Valkyrie]] (who is bisexual) is blurting out “I’m single”, she flusters at the thought of being married to Carol, and echoes Val’s pet name for Carol “Oh Captain, My Captain”.

* ''Film/TheNorthman'': During the celebrations after the knattleikr game, [[MatingDance Olga is shown dancing rather sensually with another woman.]] That said, she also sleeps with Amleth that very same night and is devoted to him ever after.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'': Poe Dameron doesn't have a LoveInterest and his romantic history is never discussed; ''The Last Jedi Visual Dictionary'' uses the unisex term "partner" to describe his potential lover; and Oscar Isaac, when asked about the character's sexuality, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VNWGSy2wrrI gave no definitive answer and admitted he'd be open to gay storylines]]. It helps that he has an easy chemistry with Finn, on top of his actor mentioning in interviews that he deliberately played his side of their friendship up [[HomoeroticSubtext as if it were a romance]]. However, one scene in the ''The Force Awakens'' novelization (loosely copied in ''The Last Jedi''), gives him some ShipTease with Rey and it's strongly implied in ''The Rise of Skywalker'' he was once in a relationship with Zorii Bliss, to whom he is still attracted to an extent.

* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'': In ''Film/IronMan2'', Justin Hammer is briefly seen with Christine Everhart who seemingly flirted with him... until she left him when Tony told her Hammer lost his contract with the Government. He also calls Tony gorgeous. In the short film ''Film/AllHailTheKing'', Hammer has a boyfriend who constantly follows him and strokes his shoulder to comfort him (Justin even calls him "baby").

He also calls Tony gorgeous. In the short film ''Film/AllHailTheKing'', Hammer has a boyfriend who constantly follows him and strokes his shoulder to comfort him (Justin even calls him "baby").

* ''Film/ScoobyDoo'': Velma is implied to have a crush on Fred, but also shows signs of being interested in Daphne as well. When telling the story of the day Mystery Inc. kicked Scrappy-Doo off the team, Velma describes Daphne as "so beautiful" and Fred as "so handsome". For what it's worth, Velma was originally going to be depicted as a lesbian in the film's much raunchier original cut, and a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOOEwMOtvLI&pbjreload=101 deleted scene]] from the final film has her singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" while dancing sensually and making motions towards Daphne and/or Fred (they're both standing next to each other and the scene is framed in such a way that it's not clear if she's singing to Daphne, Fred, or both.)

* Literature/{{Florinda}}'s princess, a character created before bisexuality as we know it was a recognized concept, has traces of proto-bisexuality in her characterization. Over the course of the story, the protagonist, Florinda, presents as both male and female, and is later [[SupernaturallyValidatedTransPerson supernaturally granted a male body by Jesus]].The princess loves and accepts Florinda under all circumstances.

* ''Fanfic/ADiplomaticVisit'' [[spoiler:In chapter 4, Swift-Pad mentions "sort of" having a special someone back home. In chapter 16, the Bearers and Spike learn he was referring to Maxilla, a biologically male (but mentally genderfluid) changeling who was in disguise as a she-wolf when Swift-Pad first met he/she, and has no problem being with either gender. Swift-Pad himself explains that he is still attracted to them, but at this time is uncertain of if the attraction is to the form, the gender, or the person themselves. He ultimately chooses to make their romance permanent]].

* ''Fanfic/LostInCamelot'';

*** The characters of Clarisse and Silena both have in-text boyfriends but are heavily coded to being interested in each other romantically. Silena and Chris (Clarisse's boyfriend) are the only people that can truly get through to her. Silena and Clarisse also parallel Achilles and Patroclus, two lovers from the Trojan War. When Clarisse refuses to assist with battle, Silena [[ElCidPloy puts on her armor]] and rallies the Ares Cabin in her stead but gets killed in the process. Silena's sacrifice motivates Clarisse to take up arms again and fight for the loss of her friend.

* ''Literature/TheTwilightSaga'':
** Bella is in a steady relationship with Edward. His adopted sister, Alice, is her best friend. Many of Bella and Alice's interactions mirror her interactions with Edward, particularly when Bella gets very huggy and clingy towards Alice. This includes a scene in ''New Moon'' where the two basically snuggle on the sofa. Bella also repeatedly talks about how "breathtaking" and beautiful Rosalie is.

* ''Literature/TheHeartsWeSold'': Dee is very much in love with James, but is flustered by a pretty girl she meets at a party, and deeply admires her roommate and best friend, Gremma. Gremma actually ''is'' an out-and-proud lesbian, which doesn't help.
* Jenna, the main character of the YA novel ''Squad''.
** She expresses attraction to men and has a boyfriend over the course of the novel, but the main plot follows her "friendship break-up" with her [[PseudoRomanticFriendship BFF Raejean]]. Back when they were close, they frequently [[HoldingHands held hands]], shared a bed, and even almost had a three-way together (which Jenna fantasizes about). Jenna's utterly devastated by losing Raejean, and spends much of the first half of the story either trying to win her back, or get revenge. She becomes so depressed she briefly contemplates suicide, though she quickly tells herself she's overreacting. Things get better when she starts hanging out with her brother's friends, but it's clear that losing the friendship she and Raejean once had is a life-changing experience for Jenna.
** Notably, Jenna admits she's this ''in-universe''. When asked if she's possibly bisexual, she's about to say "no," but then pauses and gives the question some serious thought. Upon reflection, especially when it comes to her relationship with Raejean, Jenna decides that she can't be 100% certain she's straight, and answers accordingly.
* Protagonist Richard Papen of ''Literature/TheSecretHistory'' insists he's straight, has one-night stands with girls at his college, and has a crush on the one female member of the Classics group, but he also endlessly speculates which men of the Classics group are gay and [[spoiler:puts up only token resistance as the one confirmed gay member starts kissing and undressing him]], with the implication that they would have gone all the way if not interrupted.
* In ''Literature/TheUnlikelies'', while Andie has attraction to men and [[spoiler: eventually gets with Otto]], she has a lot of LesYay subtext with Izzy, even though they're just friends.
* ''Literature/TheTeresaKnightTrilogy'': In the first book, Carl turns out to be secretly with Andre, his boyfriend. He'd also had sex with several women, Teresa included, though without as much enthusiasm. She isn't sure whether this means he's bisexual or really gay.

** Max Galactica, who is mostly a CampStraight circus performer has his heart set on marrying Regina, the daughter of his boss at the circus but he flirts around with both Phoenix and Maya. He might have been joking when he did that but he does qualify since this is called "Ambiguously" bi. Of course "Max Galactica" is a stage persona and he's actually GoodOlBoy [[HayseedName Billy Bob Johns]] underneath all that fabulousness, but he definitely seems to ''prefer'' being Max whenever possible.

* ''WebVideo/YugiohTheAbridgedSeries'': Yami Yugi. Bakura's gaydar has reacted to him, he believes that the Millennium Puzzle is just fabulous, has an obsession with leather pants, and claimed that he was straight if Kaiba's ghost was real. Turns out the "ghost" was actually a gay clown. However, he occasionally shows interest in both genders, including Téa, though in "They Saved Tristan's Brain," it's revealed that he isn't sure if she's a girl. And then there's Bonds Beyond Time Abridged, where he is openly attracted to Yusei and in "What Would Yugi Do" he pervs on Yugi.

** Holden describes Luce as a "flitty" seeming guy who has a strong {{Gaydar}}. He also notes that Luce seems to talk about sex with, presumably, women a lot. Luce himself mentions that he likes "a mature ''person''", not "a [[LikesOlderWomen mature woman]]", though he could have been referring to in general.

*** The characters of Clarisse and Silena both have in-text boyfriends but are heavily coded to being interested in each other romantically. Silena and Chris (Clarisse's boyfriend) are the only people that can truly get through to her. Silena and Clarisse also parallel Achilles and Patroclus, two lovers from the Trojan War. When Clarisse refuses to assist with battle, Silena puts on her armor and rallies the Ares Cabin in her stead but gets killed in the process. Silena's sacrifice motivates Clarisse to take up arms again and fight for the loss of her friend.

* ''Film/DoctorInTheHouse1954'': When Mrs. Groaker explains the house rules to her lodgers, she makes sure to let Mr. Williams know that she doesn't approve of male ''or'' female visitors in his room.

'''Bob:''' I gotta go cook this. Also, I'm married. But if I wasn't... who am I kidding, you're out of my league.

* During a news report in ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'', Tom Trench makes a joke about lusting for Cherri Bomb, who shows a lot of skin in her outfit as she appears in the footage. A short while afterwards, Charlie mentions Cherri Bomb's protege Angel Dust, and Tom Trench immediately recognizes Angel Dust as a porn star.

** During ''Dramatic Mission'' [[MissionControl Niall]] suggests that she use [[MyselfMyAvatar mind-projecting technology]] to inhabit the vacated body of an actress, or if she doesn't care for that, a male actor if she wants "a change in pace". We find later that he's secretly in love with Helva and concerned that because she's at the intersection of a ManInTheMachine and a WetworkCPU they CantHaveSexEver.
