    There is neither an openly gay character nor a transgender character.
    Kanji (the "gay" guy), I think, really is gay, but he never comes out in the game. He never says he is, either, however I think his sowing skills and the fact that he played with dolls as a child point towards homosexuality.
    This side of him isn't explored before Naoto shows up. She isn't really transgender, she only dresses up as a boy because she wants to be a detective (she thought she looked more like one as a boy) and she was afraid of being looked down upon if she were to show her true gender... Anyway, Kanji sees her and becomes infatuated however rejects these feelings because she "is a boy". He reflects upon this the rest of the game, but no definite answer is given so his sexual orientation is left to the player's preference.
