Bisexual lighting

For those who are not convinced that homosexuality, bi-sexuality, trans-sexuality, gender fluidity, gray sexuality, demi-sexuality, asexuality and pansexuality have become the predominant obsession of what is left of Western culture, consider this: we now have bisexual lighting casting its eerie glow over our entertainment.

From the BBC:

What is ‘bisexual lighting’?

An early use of the term comes from a 2014 post on the blogging site Trumblr, 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.

I’ll give the Anglican church about five years to latch on to this trend, at which point it will declare that its cathedrals are illuminated with holy bisexual lighting from their multicoloured stained glass windows.
