Realistic bisexual characters are rare. I think both Rosa Díaz from Brooklyn 99 and Queen Maeve from the Boys are accurate at their heart- they're both wildly overblown though. I felt their storylines at least.

I can't recall ever seeing a fictional portrayal of a bisexual male.

The only time I've seen 'bisexual' males in movies is when you've got a seemingly straight lead that gets seduced into sleeping with a man, like in Rocky Horror and Cabaret, but even then, it might be a case of bicuriousity more than actually being a bisexual.

I hadn't even considered older movies. Wasn't there a bisexual character in Velvet Gold mine? Was the lead bi? I feel like it got brought up.

I haven't watched that, but he's definitely with both women and men according to the wiki synopsis.
