Bisexual lighting is the simultaneous use of pink, purple, and blue lighting. It can be used intentionally to represent bisexual characters in media by evoking the hues of the bi flag, or it can show up "accidentally" with no reference to sexuality intended.
Some people have criticized the use of bisexual lighting, claiming that it can unintentionally reinforce anti-bi stereotypes.[1]
Usage in media[edit]
Please add examples of media that have used bisexual lighting, whether intentional or not.
