okay. I might get downvoted for this and whatever but why do people make such a big deal about the portrayal of different groups? like who cares if there aren't bisexuals? there's bound to be a show with them. gosh.
Representation in popular media broadens the national discourse. It sounds silly, but presenting an array of people, like there is in the US, really shows a broad audience there is more out there than straight white people.

Yeah that's great but that's one portrayal of a different lifesyle to a billion "regular" ones. Say if you got some candy to share with me and you picked out all your favorite flavors and non of mine. You can't fix the problem by only adding one candy of my flavor. You know what I'm sayin? Its a start but nowhere near what it should be.

One of the producers of Torchwood was talking about this and said that it's really difficult to do properly because they usually end up being portrayed as gay, especially if there's a long term relationship, like with Jack and Ianto.
