LGBT characters

The Simpsons features a variety of LGBTQ+ characters. Although some implications are played off as jokes, other identities are portrayed consistently. Whether directly stated or implied, this article lists all characters in the Simpsons that have been implied or labeled as part of the LGBTQ+ community. Throughout the show, 208+ characters have been confirmed or hinted to be LGBTQ+.
Lesbians are women and/or individuals with feminine aligned/non-masculine genders who experience attraction to other women and/or feminine aligned individuals. 
Homosexual/gay people, are men and/or Individuals with masculine aligned/non-feminine genders who experience attraction to men and/or Individuals with masculine aligned/non-feminine genders. 
Bisexual people are attracted to multiple genders, but not necessarily all genders. 
Transgender people are people who don't identify as the same gender they were assigned at birth, i.e., trans men and women, and non-binary people.
So far, no characters have been described as being on the asexual or aromantic spectrums.
Kang and Kodos are both gender ambiguous. While Kang is usually shown as male (although he may be intersex), Kodos’s gender is uncertain: Kodos has a male voice and is called male in "E.T., Go Home", yet is also called “sister” and wears female clothing in Tapped Out. However, Kamala is explicitly shown as female. It could also be possible that Kodos was referred to as "sister" for comic purposes.

* Lisa Simpson - First of all, Al Jean made many tweets about Lisa being bisexual, which almost confirms it, however it can’t be confirmed until it is confirmed in the show. In the episode "No Loan Again, Naturally", Bart said “Lisa is Gay!”, then Lisa firmly replied, “Like I wouldn’t want to be gay like all my heroes.” Implying that she might be gay, or bisexual. In the episode Mother and Child Reunion, a fortune teller said that Lisa has a 42% chance to have a boyfriend in the future and a 72% chance for a girlfriend in the future. However, what really hints that Lisa is bi is her response, “I like those odds!”. In the episode "Holidays of Future Passed", a montage of photos was featured to show a glimpse of what’s to come for the Simpsons family. Lisa is shown intimately holding hands with two women in one photo, then with a different woman in another photo. She is later shown married to Milhouse Van Houten and having a child with him, and possibly marrying Ralph Wiggum. She has also dated several other boys. In the episode "Gorgeous Grampa", Homer is flipping through the reality shows, to Lisa's disgust. However, when Homer and Lisa keep flipping through channels and see a reality show on gay marriage she says 'Well' and thinks about it.

The episode "Bart to the Future" contradicts this when a then 38-year-old Lisa campaigns and wins to become "the first straight female President" of the United States. However, she could be in the closet about that because she could think that it could tear away her presidency. Also, it is of course, non-canon.
*Bart Simpson - Bart has had many relationships with girls and in the future marries and divorces Jenda. However, he has also been hinted as being attracted to boys. In “Bart’s Friend Falls in Love,” Milhouse is smitten with a transfer student named Samantha Stankey; Bart schemes not to steal the girl but to detonate the affair so he can have Milhouse back. Whatever discomfort Bart evinces at Milhouse’s emotional attachment to him takes the familiar, unsubtle form of denial. And when Bart does find friendship with another boy, it’s expressly coded as romantic: “The Haw-Hawed Couple” of season 18 sees him growing close to class bully Nelson Muntz, only to wind up fearing the intensity of his devotion. In the end, Bart wistfully cradles one of his denim vests — an allusion to Brokeback Mountain.
