Lead character in CW’s “The 100” is bisexual
“If Clarke’s attracted to someone, gender isn’t a factor. Some things improve post-apocalypse.”
— Jason Rothenberg, creator of The 100 on The CW, speaking via Twitter about last night’s episode, which saw lead character Clarke Griffin (Eliza Taylor) kiss commander of the Grounders, Lexa (Alycia Debnam-Carey).
Rothernberg emphasized the show’s futuristic setting, with regards the characters’ blasé attitudes towards LGBT relationships.
“Clarke is a bisexual character. Remember that in this society, no one’s worried about it,” he Tweeted. “They’re worried about spears to the chest.”
In #The100, they don’t label themselves. If Clarke’s attracted to someone, gender isn’t a factor. Some things improve post-apocalypse.

Clarke’s a bisexual character. #The100 has straight, gay, & bi characters. But “alive”/”dead” are the only labels people care about. #The100
