What is ‘bisexual lighting’?
An early use of the term comes from a 2014 post on the blogging site Tumblr, which discusses a pink-and-blue-washed scene in the BBC’s Sherlock and speculates about the hidden desires of Dr John Watson.
A more recent, and commonly discussed, example of bisexual lighting can be seen in the San Junipero episode of the Netflix show Black Mirror.
The Emmy Award-winning episode follows the development of a relationship between two bisexual female characters.
Many point out that these colours mirror those of the bisexual pride flag, and suggest the lighting design is a direct reference to the symbol.
[…] Joanna Robinson, a senior writer for entertainment site Vanity Fair, responded with images of Ricky Martin and Penelope Cruz from the show The Assassination of Gianni Versace.
The show features a number of same-sex couples, but not specifically bisexual relationships.
