A number of people have been identifed as (or implied to be) lesbian, gay, bisexual or transsexual.

Gay

Openly gay characters

• Patty Bouvier - Almost married Veronica^[1].
• John ^[2]
• Grady ^[3]
• Julio ^[4]

• Waylon Smithers

Hinted to be Gay

• Lenny Leonard - Sometimes hinted as being attracted to Carl.
• Carl Carlson - Sometimes hinted as being attracted to Lenny.
• Dewey Largo - Was in a many-vehicle car crash and rescued from the same car as Waylon Smithers; then was quick to state that they were just carpooling^[6].
• Karl - Kissed Homer on the lips after stating that his mom told him to never kiss a fool. However, it should be noted that Karl is implied to be of German origin, and men kissing men doesn't necessarily equate to homosexuality as much as just respect in some European countries^[7].

Non-Canon

• Helen Lovejoy - The Parson tells Reverend Timothy Lovejoy that he "remember[s] when [Helen Lovejoy] was Helen Schwartzbaum. In fact, I remember when she was Harold Schwartzbaum."^[12] This is questionable due to her and Tim having a daughter together^[13] as well as a flashback^[14] clearly depicting her as a little girl.
• Waylon Smithers - Smithers hinted at possible transgendered tendencies when Marge was selling prescription medication at a garage sale and he bought bottles of estrogen for "a friend...who's trapped in the body of another friend."^[15]
• Dewey Largo - Sought gender reassignment surgery from Dr. Nick, but because Nick had the surgery files mixed up, Largo ended up getting an operation intended for Moe which made him shorter^[16].

• Ralph Wiggum - Declares "I like men now!" after seeing Bart naked on a skateboard^[25]. However, Lisa Simpson was his first crush^[26]. It should be noted, though, that nothing Ralph says about himself is reliable since his understanding of everything is questionable.

• Martin Prince - was shown to have a crush on Ralph Wiggum at one point; effeminate; accused of being gay by Nelson and proclaims "I'm not anything yet"; has male robot boyfriend in the future.
