Movies depicting Bisexual Characters

Not sure I can think of any films off the top of my head where a character is unambiguously bisexual-identified but tons of films feature characters who are bisexual by practice, and I don't just mean movies where they start out one way and discover that they're the opposite.

Both the leads in Brokeback Mountain for example clearly have relations with men and women. Some would say their relations with women were a mask, but it's up to interpretation.

The Good Wife has a major character who is unambiguously bi.

One of the main characters in South of Nowhere turns out to be bisexual and dates both girls and guys.

I'd say a lot of the dramas that feature a gay character probably have them hooking up with the opposite gender eventually... just because those kinds of dramas have everyone sleep with everyone.

Thanks for the reply. It seems it is quite difficult to find stuff with unambiguosuly bi characters.

Peace!

One of the main characters on " Revenge" Nolan was gay had an ex-lover who betrayed him and it all seemed realistic but then in the next season he supposedly falls in love with a woman and it felt so fake and just put in because the show is so popular with teenagers, but Nolan is a gay man through and through. The producers probably buckled to the network demands to tame his character to being bisexual.

I see, What I am really interested in is seeing a portrayal of Bisexual characters in film/TV that is not based on stereotypes, like making them out to be promiscuios or "experimenting straight people" or "Gay people testing the waters". It seems like (based on your description) that the character on "Revenge" was turned into a bisexual character, to win over audiences by making him more relatiable to heterosexual audiences, which just sounds silly and like a odd network decision. But, maybe it turns out Nolan is equally attracted to both sexes? Who knows?

Peace!

Since you mention TV in your last post I'll mention the character of Thirteen/Remy in the series House M.D. She had a brief period of promiscuity, depending on how you view it (it's what many people think of as promiscuous), but it wasn't about her sexuality, but due to finding out that she does have the gene for Huntingdon's Disease, which killed her mother at a young age. You can decide if you want to know why before watching. Otherwise, she has a stable relationship with a man and then later one with a woman. However, we know very little about her relationship with the woman (I'm not sure we even know her name) and the relationship with the man (I'm simply not naming him so as not to spoil that for you) doesn't play a large part in each episode, although it does had an impact on her life.

I see, I am not a House fan, so I am not worried about spoilers : ) Thank you for telling me about the character

"Unambiguously bi?"

By definition, isn't bi ambiguous? A synonym for bisexual is ambisexual, a combination of the words ambiguous and sexual.

Hi!

I understood "Unambiguoisly bi" as meaning a television character that was presented very clearly as bisexual and nothing else. I have personally never heard of the ambisexual as synonymous with bisexual.



Peace!
