History Main / EveryoneIsBi

* 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 "exclusively the gender of the love interest" and vice versa.

While it's not 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.

* 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 Ivanova, but it only came up a couple of times.
** Another interesting note is in the Babylon 5 movie ''River of Souls'' we find out that a holographic program was created with an image of Captain Lochley. Garibaldi discovers this program is especially popular with women.
*** It's never established in canon whether Lochley's relationship with her late friend Zoe (temporarily resurrected in "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 Neil]] is that [[https://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/183433704896/ they were indeed a couple]].)
** In a subtler incident, Marcus and 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.

** Sexuality is completely bypassed as an issue. When you have trans-alien relationships, the actual gender of who 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...

** 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 checks to make sure that Aeryn is in fact "The female of her species," (although he was probably just joking). 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.
** 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 was 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.
** This may be verging into Everyone is Transgender, 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.

* ''Series/{{Westworld}}'': The robotic Hosts in the park don't have sexual orientation in the way humans do, but all are 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.

* ''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 isn't meant to). This is backed up by numerous orgies which show a lot of people switching between opposite- and same-sex pairings then, along with Lenina's friend Frannie casually wanting a "[[UnusualEuphemism tickle]]".

* ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow'': This is a frequent joke within the fandom, as the main ensemble characters of Sara, John, Charlie, and Gary are all canonically bisexual/pansexual. There are also recurring jokes in the show that suggest that other characters, like Nate, Ray, or Zari, may also be bisexual.

* ''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, they're 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.

* The [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe asari]] in ''Franchise/MassEffect'' are a OneGenderRace of blue women who can breed with anyone (any species, any gender). 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 are asari. 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 [[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.

* Several main characters in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' are explicitly or implicitly bisexual.

* In Tansy Rayner Roberts's ''Musketeer Space'' (''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.

** 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.

* 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/MetalGearSolid4''... all for the cause, all for Big Boss.

* ''VideoGame/FireEmblemEngage'' has the "player-sexual" variety. The PlayerCharacter Alear can S-Support with any character and unlike past games which had specific {{Gay Option}}s, all romantic S Supports are identical between both male and female Alear.

* ''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

* 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, WordOfGod 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]])

* 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 WordOfGod), but several are of them are gay. A few are straight, though none explicitly so.

* WordOfGod 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.

** 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. (WordOfGod has confirmed that Gwen is also bisexual).

*** It's never established in canon whether Lochley's relationship with her late friend Zoe (temporarily resurrected in "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. ([[WordOfGod Word Of Neil]] is that [[https://neil-gaiman.tumblr.com/post/183433704896/ they were indeed a couple]].)

* WordOfGod for ''Series/BattlestarGalactica2003'' is that all Cylons are bi. This is actually seen in the Three and Six models.

* WordOfGod 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.

* 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 WordOfGod has confirmed everyone in Vesuvia to be bisexual.

* 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. [[WordOfGod Hanako has also confirmed that this game is running on this assumption]].

* WordOfGod 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.

* WordOfGod confirms that all characters in ''Webcomic/SaintForRent'' are some level of bisexual unless they're asexual.

* WordOfGay from one of the storyboard artists for ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'', Sabrina 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.

* ''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.]]

* {{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.

* ''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 for her in terms of picking a spouse.
