Ava is allowed to send an ill-advised picture to an ex-girlfriend or to have a one-night stand with a man without asking him any questions about his personal life or to have an inappropriate sex dream about her older female boss.

But sometimes I do still need penetrative sex with a dick to come. This conversation fits seamlessly into the mold of the show, but it also quietly -- or not so quietly -- nudges at a new boundary of bisexual representation on television. Ava is allowed to be a full person, fitting into the fabric of a show about characters who are funny and flawed and hurting all at once.

Another striking thing about Ava's monologue about her bisexuality is that it's a little shocking and a little messy. So then in college I finally hooked up with this amazing TA, Phoebe. He is the co-creator, co- showrunner and one of the stars of the critically acclaimed HBO Max series Hacks, for which he has received two Golden Globes, a Peabody Award, and three Primetime Emmy Awards, among others.

He wrote that fat-girl-running-a-marathon movie, also gaybait. Speaking to Out, Hacks’ creators, Paul W Downs, Lucia Aniello, and Jen Statsky, jointly explained: “We always wanted to make a show that reflects the world as we see it, and as we’d like it.

And I realized that I could connect more emotionally with women, which led to deeper sexual experiences.

Hacks also sits at a certified percent on Rotten Tomatoes and is one of the most talked about series of It does all this with co-lead who is bi and vocal about it, and a queer ensemble filling out that world.

Sometimes, however, the pendulum swings too far in the other direction, and bisexual and queer characters aren't given the same humanity -- including flaws and conflicts -- and development as their queer counterparts. Paul William Downs (born November 21, ) is an American actor, writer, director, and producer.

Something else quietly revolutionary about more characters like Ava on our screens is that the audience is being introduced to a bi character after she has gay gone through the journey of figuring out that part of herself. So often, queer stories involve a character discovering their own queerness or how their own sexuality fits into their identity.

So to hear it spoken so casually on Hacks sets a new precedent for bi characters to be able to casually speak about their identity the way any other character would. There's a history of television portraying bi characters as no more than defamatory stereotypes -- adulterous, inherently promiscuous, transactional, or disloyal -- which has thankfully slightly declined over the years.
