Funny, I was thinking about this in another topic, about the movie Cabaret. There's a point, when Christopher IsherwoodMichael York the hero tells Sally that he's also had sex with Max, I was 12 years old when I saw it, and not really clear on the idea of homosexuality, much less bisexuality. So I was, like, 'wait, people can do that? HUH.'
It was a pretty good intro, as I've been relaxed about the whole topic ever since, and am only regretful that I'm a kinsey 1 or so, sadly very straight.
But in fanfic, many of my characters are happily bisexual. It almost feels like a cop-out sometimes, as it encompasses both the RPS "canon" of actor's public presentation of their lives, and the slash that I also want to write. But I enjoy every moment.
