	Skinner's implied to have some attraction to men in Sweet Seymour Skinner's Baadasssss Song and in the director's commentary for that episode Skinner is stated to be bisexual. There's probably other instances of Skinner displaying a degree of bisexuality I could find but that one bit of the director's commentary makes it a little confusing whether to put him as an implied or definitively bisexual character.

		+	:If in episode, it's only hinted, then it should be under hinted. Commentaries can be used as supporting evidence, but unless it's actually confirmed in official media, then he shouldn't be "confirmed" bisexual. <span style="font-family:Algerian">[[User:Solar Dragon\|<span style="color:green">The</span>]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon\|<span style="color:red">Solar</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon\|<span style="color:blue">Dragon</span>]]</span> 07:08, May 21, 2026 (EDT)

		+
		+	This character appeared in S16 E10 and S22 E11. S22 E11 also features lots of LGBTQ background characters.

		+	https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Leslie_Swisher
		+
		+	They are a pro golfer and transwoman. When proposing to Patty at the wedding right after being discovered to be male, Swisher calls herself "a man". However, at the time this was released in 2005, "I'm really a man" was still often used by transwomen to identify themselves as trans. So, when Swisher said they were a man, they could have meant that they were assigned male at birth.
		+
		+	Although it has not been confirmed by the creators, one trans netizen claims that Leslie Swisher is based on Mianne Bagger, a transwoman golfer who made headlines 1 year before the episode aired. This lends further credence to the argument that Leslie Swisher is a transwoman.
		+	https://youtube.com/watch?v=dVXy6a7-JYQ
		+
		+	Wikipedia also repeats this sentiment, citing many reviews of the episode.

 == Mr. Burns a candidate for the category 'Hinted to Be Bisexual?' ==
-After reviewing this character through 600 episodes, and other forms of media (comics, games, ect.) I have come to the conclusion that I think Burns should be listed under this category. His sexuality like most other men on the show have some tinge of bisexual qualities which come for a one shot joke, however, there have been many references that Monty does enjoy male companionship in some form which pass beyond coincidental. There have been both blatant canonical and non-canonical references made in this direction (Burns was married to boxer Jack Dempsey for an unknown period of length after drinking too much,) Burns likes the smell of other men (season 3) Burns is seemingly flirting with a man named Phillip (season 18, ''Kill Gill vol. 1&2''.) Burns spooned with Abraham Simpson (''Simpsons Christmas Stories'',) Burns being steeped in drag culture (White Witch, one shot gags, Burns as the queen xenomorph, and so on - though technically fashion doesn't equate to sexuality this is old school coding and reference,) and ect. Outside of the running gag within the series of him flirting with Homer and well the whole relationship with Smithers steeped in heavy homoerotic coding (they were even married in ''Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horror #18'' in a ''Rosemary's Baby'' parody) I think there are a lot of fragments here that could make him well qualified for this suspicion.
