That’s not to say every queer person needs a definition for themselves, but the power of claiming an identity that society teaches you to deny yourself is unmatched.

From remakes of classics like Ben-Hur, to TV adaptations of gritty comic books like Constantine, bi erasure, especially of men, has been prevalent in Hollywood since before the B became part of LGBT. Ignoring Jackson’s bisexuality leaves the bi community stuck in the same place where we were decades ago: watching Willow’s transition on Buffy in the late '90s to a capital L and wondering why we couldn’t just get over the confusion and pick a side. Jeff, an openly gay man who can and has written his identity across six seasons of Teen Wolf through multiple multifaceted characters, can afford to ignore labels and let some of his gay characters be undefined because there’s so many of them.
In letting go labels and refusing to allow Jackson to define himself, Teen Wolf missed a huge opportunity to shine a light on less understood parts of the LGBTQIA+ community, an acronym that’s built to remind people of the diversity we hold within us.

But if Jeff was truly open to the idea of a bisexual character, it wasn’t apparent in the series finale.
“A while back we'd been talking about bringing Colton back into the show, and I said if he comes back on, he's coming back with a guy, whether it’s bisexual or gay, he's coming back a changed man,” showrunner Jeff Davis said in an earlier interview with Entertainment Weekly first teasing the comeback. With that single sentence, the show refused to allow Jackson to claim a much more complex identity than the binary of gay or straight. While Lydia is certainly smart enough to sense that Jackson might be on the Kinsey scale, there’s nothing about that fact that rewrites or changes Jackson’s feelings for her while they were together. This twist on the classic formula arguably pushed Jackson to the other end of the binary, implying gayness instead of straightness.Īlthough completely accepting of his identity, Lydia implied in a single sentence that she knew he was attracted to men in high school with a flippancy that read as beard-worthy, throwing into question the entire plot of Season 2. Then, as Jackson announced his relationship with Ethan, Lydia’s key reaction was, “Oh, thank god you figured it out”. Two people who might not be in love anymore, but still love each other, rushed into an embrace that melted fans hearts. Lydia (once again) rescues Jackson from the clutches of hunters devoted to eradicating the supernatural and their reunion is as tender and emotional as that serious relationship deserved. The series finale however, took that small victory for the bi community and walked it back into queerbaiting territory. Though the word bisexuality was never uttered, bi fans immediately saw themselves represented in those literal nods to and from Jackson. Jackson’s bisexuality seemed canonically cemented in the penultimate episode of Season 6 as he and Ethan cruised through the hallways of their alma mater and Jackson eyed two underclassmen - first a girl and then a boy.
