Big Bi+ Questions

How has bi+ TV representation changed since *that* episode of Sex and the City?


Listen Later

For a long time, bi+ representation on TV was rare—and when it did appear, it often wasn’t great. One infamous example? The Sex and the City episode Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl…, where Carrie and her friends react very poorly to bisexuality. But how far have we come since then?

On this episode of Big Bi+ Questions, the team is joined by writer, journalist, and author Patrick Lenton to discuss the evolution of bi+ TV representation. From harmful tropes to more recent portrayals that actually get it right, we dive into how bi+ characters have been depicted over time—and why it matters.

Check out Patrick’s work at patricklenton.com and his Substack newsletter, Nonsense.
