Although the number of bisexual male characters has been slowly increasing over the years, it can still be hard to find a bi guy on TV.
Luckily for us, these 33 shows have some love to all the bi men out there by actually including them in their character lineup.
Disney
The fifth season of Ryan Murphy's 9-1-1 finally confirmed something fans had long hoped — that "womanizer" Evan Buckley (Oliver Stark), aka Buck, was actually bisexual. A kiss between him and Tommy (Lou Ferigno Jr.) set the exploration in motion, and Stark confirmed in an interview that even he felt like it had been "a long time coming."
