Contents
Gay
Openly gay characters
- Patty Bouvier - Almost married Veronica[1].
- John - A nostalgia store owner who befriends the Simpson family[2].
- Roscoe - A steel mill manager. Says that he and his workers are all gay, and at breaks they turn the mill into a gay nightclub[3].
- Grady and Julio - Were a couple when Homer roomed with them[4]; apparently later broke up[5].
- Thad - Marries Julio (with Homer as the officiant) subsequent to Julio's and Grady's breakup[6].
In the closet
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[7].
- 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[8]. However, he did pat Homer on the arse in a very flirtatious manner.
- Dr. Smith actor at the Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con - Implied that he wanted to molest Bart Simpson[9]. It is important to note, however, that tendencies toward pedophilia (even same-sex pedophilia) don't automatically equate to homesexuality.
Non-Canon
- Marge Simpson and Lindsey Naegle - Kiss in a fantasy sequence[10].
Transsexual
- Judge Constance Harm - Indicates that she was born male[11].
- Brunella Pommelhorst - Takes a leave of absence from teaching gym at Springfield Elementary School; says she will return next semester as Mr. Pommelhorst, the new shop teacher[12].
Hinted to be Transsexual
- 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."[13] This is questionable due to her and Tim having a daughter together[14] as well as a flashback[15] 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."[16]
- 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[17].
Bisexual
Hinted to be Bisexual
- Duffman - Bart mentions that he is supposedly in a long-term gay relationship after seeing him dining with Booberella[18]. However, there are several different Duffmen. He is later in a relationship with Julio[19].
- The Sea Captain - Apu delivers pornographic magazines to keep the Sea Captain's crew from resorting to situational homosexuality for about ten minutes, at least[20]. However, the Captain is also seen taking pictures of Selma and Patty in the nude to cope with being out at sea[21].
- Santa's Little Helper - Intrigued by male dogs at the Springfield Gay Pride Parade[22]. However, he mated with both She's The Fastest[23] and Rosa Barks[24], both of whom were definitely female as both unions produced puppies.
- 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.
- Milhouse Van Houten - Hinted to be gay by Dr. J. Loren Pyror[27], but has a crush on Lisa Simpson and has dated other girls.
- Martin Prince - Generally effeminate and was shown to have a crush on Ralph Wiggum at one point. Accused of being gay by Nelson and protests, "I'm not anything yet!"[28]; has a male robot boyfriend in the future[29]. On the other hand, he did have an attraction to Princess Kashmir on seeing Bart's photo of her dancing with Homer, even referring to it as being "quite exciting" and calling her a "sexy lady" when he asked Bart who she was[30].
- Principal Seymour Skinner - Was forced by Superintendent Chalmers to kiss Groundskeeper Willie and appeared to rather enjoy it[31]. However, dated Edna Krabappel for a long time and nearly married her.
- Groundskeeper Willie - Seemed to enjoy kissing Principal Skinner when he was forced to; later kissed him of his own free will[32]. However, in a peyote-induced hallucination he envisioned himself kissing Duchess Sarah (also called "Fergie") and said he'd been looking forward to it for years[33].
