[[folder:Web Animation]]
* Discussed 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.

* In the ''Webcomic/SinKidsAU'', there doesn't seem to be any character, original or canon, that's truly straight or truly gay. While most of the characters have preferences for the opposite sex, they have zero problem with the same sex either.

* 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.



** In Armand's book, she finally had the main character have sex with persons of both genders before he was turned.

* Just about the entire pantheon in Myth/ClassicalMythology. There’s a few asexuals like Hestia, Athena, Artemis and possibly Hades, and exactly one, maybe, heterosexual god - Ares, but aside from that, basically everyone else is so casual with sex the idea of heterosexuality is down-right quaint.

* ''Dutch'' manga ''Penny Diary'' [[UpToEleven turns this up to eleven]] as not only is bisexuality such the norm that [[FunetikAksent "uniseksuals"]] ([[YaoiBoys a pair of classmates,]] the main character's straight best friend and [[LipstickLesbian an aunt]]) are seen as a harmless quirk while casual sex is encouraged between anyone from [[IncestIsRelative family]] (holidays traditionally ending in a post-dinner orgy,) [[HotForStudent teachers with students]] and Mall Santa (St. Peter) and [[BiggusDickus Black Pete.]] ''The age of consent in the series is 4 and drawn in a chibi style.''

** Chiana is quite obviously AnythingThatMoves 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.

* ''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 is also recurring jokes in the show that suggest that other characters, like Nate, Ray, or Zari, may also be bisexual.

* In ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'', everyone in the main cast is at the very least bi-curious. The ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode that introduces Jack Harkness states that his omnisexuality is common for the century (51st) that he grew up in, in which the [[Franchise/StarTrek Captain Kirk]] [[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).

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]], [[BikerBabe 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 a IfItsYouItsOkay kind of situation[[/note]], and Johnny himself alludes to [[AnythingThatMoves 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.

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.

The Hero can date any of the Townsfolk, regardless of gender, but the Hero [[GenderNeutralWriting 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.

** The nation of Orlais takes this trope UpToEleven with the nobility. Because sleeping your way to the top is basically a necessity to play [[DeadlyDecadentCourt 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.

-->'''Naminé''': (''while reassuring Xion that she's not interested in Roxas'') I like girls. Only girls. Not boys.\\
'''Xion''': (''still looking dumbfounded'') I don’t understand? Just girls? Why not boys, too?\\
Abruptly, several things lined up for Naminé.\\
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.\\
Point the second: Sora was, obviously, either bi or pansexual, given that he was dating both Riku and Kairi.\\
Point the third: No matter [[TransparentCloset how in denial she was]], Kairi was obviously bisexual.\\
Question: Would Sora have picked up on Kairi being bisexual, oblivious as he could sometimes be?\\
Consideration: Kairi was incredibly obvious about being bisexual, to the extent where she was the only person who wasn’t aware of it.\\
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.\\
Point the fourth: Any sexual education Xion had would have come from either Lea, or Sora’s mother.\\
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.\\
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.\\
Point the seventh: Xion’s comments indicated she was likely, without knowing the terms for it, also bisexual.\\
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.\\
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.
