Some people have read his relationship with "Ratso" as being a "gay" one but, yeah, I haven't seen it in a while so I guess you're right.flipp525 wrote:anonymous, I'm not sure getting gang-raped necessarily qualifies Jon Voight as an LGBT character in Midnight Cowboy. I haven't seen it in awhile, but is he an equal opportunity hustler after that? Stephen Rea, I also haven't formed an opinion about. The others on your "on-the-fence" list should definitely be on here though.
And Iris?

Was it intentional, the exclusion of the two who played transsexuals (John Lithgow, The World According to Garp and Felicity Huffman, Transamerica)?
And on the second list you can include Clifton Webb for Laura, George Snders for All about Eve, Hope Emerson for Caged, Sal Mineo for Rebel without a Cause, Grason Hall for The Night of the Iguana, Estelle Parsons for Rachel, Rachel and probably others too.
