Ahead of the Joker sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux, fans are pondering whether the Joker is bisexual, or otherwise queer in some way. The DC villain’s sexuality has been the topic of long-running speculation for years, with many noting that much of the character’s history is explicitly queer, or queer-coded. The Joker’s first solo comic series, published in 1975-6, featured a series of moments that fans have always believed are rooted in queer identity. One sequence sees the Joker applying red lipstick, beautifying himself. Additionally, Grant Morrison’s Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Seri ..read more

Yes, Malakai Mitchell has a relationship with a boy in Heartbreak High, but he’s not gay: he’s bisexual.

Anitta has opened up about navigating “fake bisexual” jibes, revealing that some people didn’t believe her identity in a new interview. The Brazilian singer-songwriter, 30, is openly bisexual, revealing her identity in her 2018 Netflix docuseries, Vai Anitta.

Not sitting properly is bisexual culture, according to the internet, and the good news is that there’s a chair tailor-made for those who don’t sit straight. You see, sitting flat on a chair, both feet on the ground, is a heterosexual custom that bi folk are resisting by half sitting, draping their legs over armchairs, and pushing their chins to their chest. Or some go more of a spread-eagle set up, at least, bi people online claim. But after a design doodled by Brazilian artist Má Matiazi went viral on Instagram, a father of a bisexual non-binary person took it upon himself to use it as the ba ..read more

Despite being straight (as far as we know) and in a very high profile relationship with Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet is regularly hailed as a queer, bisexual – or sometimes even lesbian icon. But why? His reputation probably stems from his breakout film, Call Me By Your Name, a sexual coming of age story where Chalamet plays 17-year-old Elio, in love with 24-year-old graduate student Oliver. It was hailed as one of the best films of 2017, not least because of the famous *peach scene*. The movie famously led to Timothée Chalamet being christened ‘Hollywood’s Straight Prince of Twin ..read more

English-American actor Cary Grant was one of Hollywood’s greats, but was he also bisexual – or even gay?

Bisexual lighting began as a meme, but it’s now a fairly universally recognised cinematic trope. I mean, did anyone catch its clever use in Andrew Haigh’s heart-wrenching new film All of Us Strangers, starring Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal? Bisexual lighting has gathered so much attention over the last decade that it’s now acquired its own Wikipedia page, referring to the use of pink, purple and blue hues to evoke a bisexual-soaked look across film, TV and even live music in line with the bisexual flag, which features these very colours. Need a revision session? Here, we dive into the history b ..read more
