Juliet - With A Kiss I Die

Bisexual representation, vampires, and a Greek island: With A Kiss I Die has it all. In the movie, premiering on 28 August, the Juliet we all know and love has fangs, sucks blood and is bisexual. Yes, this is definitely a lot to process for Shakespeare’s purists, but let’s look at the bright side. The tragedy of Romeo & Juliet has undergone several movie adaptations throughout the years – from Franco Zeffirelli’s classic film to Baz Luhrmann’s extravaganza – but this will be the first time Verona’s heroine is a bisexual woman. Or a vampire, for all that matters. Turned … Read more

Unicorns are amazing: it’s pretty safe to say that is a fact. Unicorns, however, also happen to be legendary creatures whose existence have been questioned by many. Just like bisexuals, we dare to say. Talia Squires, editor-in-chief at Bi.org and creator of the Unicorn Scale, agrees. The Unicorn Scale ‘explores the quality of bi representation in film and television’ and it does so in an entertaining way. Squires reviews movies and TV shows focusing on bisexual storylines and assigning from one to four unicorns. ‘Siskel and Ebert have thumbs, Leonard Maltin has stars, I wanted unicorns. The bi community has … Read more

At least, that’s according to a fan who went viral after spotting that Tom Holland’s superhero had portrayed a bisexual meme in Avengers: Infinity War.  Last year, the concept spread across the internet that, in its own words, “cuffing ur jeans and tucking in baggy shirts is bisexual culture.” And as it turns out, during the web-slinging teenager’s first scene in the record-breaking blockbuster, he proudly shows off his cuffed jeans while hanging off the side of a schoolbus. One eagle-eyed viewer spotted the fashion choice, tweeting that “peter cuffs his jeans yall … Read more
