4) Nico Minoru, Marvel’s Runaways 


Nico Minoru and her love interest (Karolina Dean) from Marvel’s Runaways are my personal favorites. Karolina’s thirst for Nico has always been palpable but Nico was initially depicted as being romantically involved with Alex Wilder, a male character. However, my gay heart was able to rejoice when Karolina locked lips with Nico and replaced Alex as her partner. [Apparently, the pair will be kissing a lot more and become “the emotional core” of season 2!]

5) Darryl Whitefeather, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend


Darryl Whitefield, who is 1/8 Native American and incredibly proud, doesn’t realize his sexuality until later in life. However, instead of denying his feelings for men, Darryl embraces his newfound identity. Unlike other shows that refuse to use the term bisexual, Darryl literally spends three minutes singing a song all about it.  Some of the lyrics he croons are: “I like ladies and I like guys….Now some may say, “oh, you’re just gay. why don’t you just gay all the way? But that’s not it because bi’s legit!” [An honorable mention goes to another Crazy Ex-Girlfriend character (Valencia Perez),  whose bisexuality was also discussed very causally and candidly.]

6) Clarke Griffin, The 100


Admittedly, I stopped watching The 100 after the horror of episode 3×07. (I will never forgive Jason Rothenberg) But I always admired Clarke’s fluid sexual orientation up until that point. She was in love with Finn and she was in love with Lexa. There was never any consideration for gender. As showrunner Jason Rothenberg said, “The characters in the show are not concerned with those things. They are only concerned with whether they are going to live and die. … Nobody ever classifies anybody, as in, ‘She’s a woman leader,’ or, ‘He’s a gay soldier.’ It’s just not in our show’s vocabulary.”

However, it’s important to note that many people criticized Rothenberg for these statements and stressed the importance of actually using the term bisexual.

7) Kat Edison, The Bold Type


Prior to meeting Adena El-Amin, Kat Edison never really felt any sexual interest in a woman. However, as their friendship blossoms, Kat starts to develop romantic feelings for her friend. The Bold Type does an excellent job of exploring Kat’s curiosity and illustrating the dynamics of queer relationships.

Happy Bi Visibility Day!
