Phone conversations between family members are ended abruptly. Other high stress moments probably don't call for goodbyes.

Sonny apparently has lashed out at both of his wives several times, making them afraid of him, but they don't think he's a bad person and at least Leon still seems to love him.

There's poor ventilation in the bank and a few people start getting faint over the course of the movie, the security guard has asthma and struggles to breathe. There's no hyperventilating.

The television people find out that Sonny's wife is trans, it becomes a big deal. Sonny doesn't really care and Leon doesn't comment but Sonny's (presumably) straight friend is upset about being falsely outed as gay on television. His outing affects the rest of the plot by a lot because now the bank robbery is about him being gay (by 70s standards). The women at the bank still treat him well.

Implied with Sonny (Emotional outbursts) but not confirmed.
Leon has apparently been in a mental hospital for a while but not because of mental illness but because of being trans.

They call one character 'queer', the tv talks about 'homosexuals' and the rest is only in the background at the end by bystanders (f word, etc.). Aside from the scene in the middle where Leon talks about being trans, there's not really any active homophobic language directed at anybody
