The film features a minor character, Larry, the casino owner's son, in a same-sex relationship. This portrayal is incidental, presented without explicit judgment or significant narrative focus, thus neither affirming nor denigrating LGBTQ+ identity.

The film features a transsexual character whose identity is revealed as a plot twist, a trope often considered problematic. However, the protagonist ultimately accepts her, and their relationship continues without her identity being a source of mockery or villainy. The portrayal avoids strong positive or negative arcs, balancing the initial problematic reveal with subsequent acceptance.
