Unfortunately, you're not wrong.
For instance, a show called Chasing Life featured a bisexual girl, (and she always identified as bisexual, and never as a lesbian,) when she dated another girl, everything was fine and dandy, but when she dated a guy, some lesbians attacked the show for giving into hetero storylines. I mean, what did they expect Being bisexual means that you're likely to sometimes date a girl, and sometimes date a guy.
However, fortunately enough, there were a lot of lesbians that called them out by saying that biphobia is just as ugly as homophobia.

William on This is Us. He's older, dying of cancer, black, & a grandpa. And boy are some having a field day. Just like Gregorio, people are saying the writers basically just threw this in. But we have no idea of their past. Both had relationships with the opposite sex, but we don't know a whole lot more.

I am one of those having a field day cause I think they basically just threw this in, and I'm appalled. The show was going so well and to me it's taken a turn that I neither foresaw or expected. I've lost my desire to continue watching it. So far I've missed the two new episodes and still wrangling in my mind if I want to continue watching it. I don't like when I'm sprung these kinds of changes. If I started off watching a show with the character as gay is one thing, but when they do a 180 on me, it pisses me off.
It's the same with the Marvel Agents of Shield character. One of the leads (and such a handsome and fine guy), was a good guy, and then they did a 180 and made him a very bad and hateful person. I don't like 180s with my lead stars.

I could understand if it was one of the "kids". But with William, we know very little of his life. He loved Randall's mother(which means he's bi), hooked on drugs, & is great with music. We don't know anything else. TiU is such a great show. I do hope you give it another try.

But they didn't just throw this in, it was planned since before the season began, as was spoiled by CBS' entertainment president. That's a fact, so no offense, but it doesn't really matter what you "think."

The fact that Viola Davis won an Emmy for her role as bisexual on broadcast, primetime TV means that the industry has come farther than you're saying
You see this as coming farther? So the more open we become about men sleeping with men and women with women means we're progressing? DWL. What a world we are now living in. Give me the old time way any day.

Yes. From
Course Correction (2016)
's script:
Gregorio (G): No way to live, is it? You know, don't you? Why I left New Orleans before.
Sunglasses Dude (SD): Couldn't very well bring you on board, even temporarily, without fully vetting you first. Sorry.
G: I'm surprised you let me walk through the door.
SD: Your husband.
G: McKinley.
SD: He's the one who stole the money meant for the rebuild after Katrina, not you.
G: Ex-husband. Still, we were married. Moved down here from New York. I should've known. Well, I was just a kid when I met him, you know, I fell for the razzle and dazzle. I didn't even know who I was yet.
SD: Last I heard, McKinley's still on the run.
G: Yep. Me, too, in my own way. Couldn't get out of NOLA fast enough afterwards.
Took back my maiden name.
SD: (softly): I'm sorry.
G: I'm gonna go.
SD: Aren't you tired of running?
G: (exhales) Yes, I am. The problem is, everywhere I turn, I see what my husband did to this place.
SD: So, what, you up and joined the FBI? Make amends for what he did?
G: Yeah. Something like that.
SD: So, what, you're gonna tell the others, now?
G: Not my story to tell.
SD: But you should know NOLA's been through a lot more than just Katrina. It's a pretty forgiving city, if you let it be. Take my word for it.
