This article examines the representation of bisexual characters in scripted, U.S. prime-time network, dramatic narratives intended for emerging adult audiences. Representations of bisexuality have increased in the early part of the 21st century, but they follow a typical narrative pattern: women are more frequently represented as bisexual than men; they are generally non-White, and their sexuality is often located outside of traditional coming-out narrative disclosure more commonly associated with gay and lesbian representations. As a result, these characters operate as intersectional hybrids that serve hegemonic and counterhegemonic functions simultaneously. These representations of bisexuality contribute to cultural discourses of globalization, racial diversity and citizenship in contemporary U.S. society.
