    Biphobia – How prevalent is it in TV?

    Biphobia can show up in the loudest places… and sometimes in the shows we love most. This week on Big Bi+ Questions, Raena and Little Jase unpack how biphobia continues to appear across TV, film, and pop culture. From harmful stereotypes and “pick a side” narratives to the lack of long-term bi+ representation on screen, the conversation explores why visibility still matters and how media shapes the way people understand bi+ identities. Along the way, they dive into favourite characters, frustrating tropes, audience reactions, and the moments where television has actually started getting it right. • Why bi+ characters are still misunderstood on screen • The difference between representation and tokenism • TV tropes that continue to fuel biphobia • Shows and characters that helped people feel seen • How media impacts real-world identity and acceptance Because sometimes the biggest questions start with what we’re watching.

    Is BI+ representation in TV or is it only star trek?

    This week on Big Bi+ Questions, we boldly go where plenty of fandom debates have gone before… into the universe of Star Trek and queer representation on television. Tamzyn is joined by Little Jase, Raena, Stevie, Clayton from Geeks Out, and special guest Jon from Hide & Seek. With Raena stepping in as our resident “Trekspert”, we explore how Star Trek has approached gender, sexuality and identity across the decades — from early allegory and coded storytelling to the openly queer characters we’re seeing today. We chat about the risks sci-fi has taken to explore identity, the moments that pushed boundaries (and the ones that didn’t quite land), and why Star Trek has often been ahead of its time when it comes to imagining more inclusive futures. And to wrap things up, everyone around the table shares their two favourite TV shows featuring queer representation — with some heartfelt, surprising and very nerdy picks. Set phasers to fabulous — this one’s for the Trekkies and the queers. The post Is BI+ representation in TV or is it only star trek? appeared first on Big Bi+ Questions.

    Who buys dinner?

    Yes, the pun is intended (of course). On this episode, we pondered questions around etiquette and breaking down gender norms when it comes to dating people of different genders.

    Are you a non-practicing bisexual?

    In a 2014 interview on his TV show, the late great interviewer Larry King asked actor Anna Paquin this question. 12 years later, the Big Bi+ Questions team unpack why we think it was asked, what we thought of Anna’s response, and why multi-gender attracted people get asked these types of questions.
