Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh Curtis Craig, Trevor Barnes Phantasmagoria: A Puzzle of Flesh is FMV point-and-click horror game released by Sierra in 1996. The player plays Curtis Craig, a 26-year-old introverted office worker at a pharmaceutical company in Seattle. Curtis is experiencing gory hallucinations, causing him to worry about his sanity. At the same time, some of his coworkers are gruesomely killed, and Curtis is a suspect. He starts to look into if there is a connection between these deaths, his hallucinations, his own past, and the company he works for. I wrote a longer promo post for the game here.
Trevor is Curtis's best friend and is openly gay. He and Curtis talk about Trevor's dates with men and they are casual, open, and loving with one another. Curtis has complicated relationships with two women in the game, and admits to his therapist that he is also attracted to Trevor and does not know what to do about it. This make Curtis a very early and rare example of a canonically bisexual male video game protagonist. He also talks about his fascination with kink and bondage, which is also explored in the game.
Peep Show Jeremy Usbourne, Mark Corrigan Peep Show is a British sitcom about two best friends and roommates, Mark and Jeremy. Mark is more neurotic and Jeremy is more of a dirtbag. The main "gimmick" of the show is that the viewer is able to hear Mark and Jeremy's thoughts, accompanied by POV shots from the two of them.
Jeremy is canonically bi and makes comments about having slept with men going back to the first series, and in later series he starts a relationship with a man and tries to reckon with his sexuality. Here is a clip from that plot bit. Additionally, at one point Mark briefly wonders if he might also be attracted to a man, concluding "I'm not gay. Possibly bi, but basically uncurious," but never goes any further with it.
