Added DiffLines:

* ''Theatre/TheRockyHorrorShow'': Played with depending on the production, as there are a lot of queer characters and queer actors but they don't always overlap (for instance, Janet was played by now-out-as-bi Creator/SusanSarandon in the film but is one of the less explicitly queer characters, having only one brief kiss with another woman while under the influence, while neither of the two actresses who portrayed clearly bi women in the film are queer as far as anyone knows).
** Frank N. Furter (a pansexual crossdresser from a species that seems to lack human gender norms) has been played by gay actors David Bedella and Paul Jabara (yes, the guy who wrote "It's Raining Men"), and gay actor/activist/former drag queen Páll Óskar in the Icelandic production. (Philip Sayer, who briefly portrayed him in 1974, was also apparently gay, having a brief affair with Creator/SusanSarandon but otherwise only being interested in men: https://pridesource.com/article/80097-2)
** Riff Raff is, depending on the actor, AmbiguouslyBi, with some playing him as blatantly attracted to Frank while others leave it as subtext. While not in drag for most of the show he turns up in fishnets at the end and was planned to do more drag in the never-made sequel (and it could be argued that ''all'' Transylvanians are on some level genderqueer by human standards). In the original stage show and film he is portrayed by Creator/RichardOBrien, who at the time identified as a transvestite and has since come out as nonbinary (and while he tends not to label his sexuality has said gender isn't a factor in who he's attracted to). In the Broadway revival he is played by Creator/RaulEsparza who later came out as bi.
** Brad, who discovers his interest in men over the course of the story, has been played by gay actor Ben Forster for the 2015 40th anniversary performance.
** Magenta is bisexual and was briefly portrayed in 2010 by also bisexual Creator/EvanRachelWood.
** Columbia, also bisexual, has been portrayed on Broadway by Music/JoanJett, who does not label her sexuality but when asked if she would ever "declare herself" to be queer showed off her labrys necklace (a symbol for sapphic women, primarily lesbians) and said "I don't know how much more you can declare".
** An unusual case with Eddie (a bi man) in the Broadway revival, who was [[CrossCastRole played by]] lesbian actress Creator/LeaDeLaria (who also played Dr Scott, a Nazi...who was intended to be revealed as a closeted gay man in a planned sequel).
** Subverted with the narrator, probably ''the'' most frequently cast as queer character (primarily because [[StuntCasting it's an opportunity for famous queer people to appear]] that doesn't require them to sing and dance), who has no clear sexuality because they only act as...well, a narrator. He's been portrayed by gay actors like Creator/CharlesGray, Creator/StephenFry, TV host and gay activist Dave Holmes, and the gay stand-up comedian Joel Creasey, as well as by Creator/RichardOBrien himself, and lesbian comedian Kate Clinton.
