It is mentioned that Curt Wild was assaulted by his older brother and sent to shock therapy, we do not see any sexual scenes between him and his brother on screen.

A lot of homophobic language, unsurprisingly for a movie about the 1970s glam rock scene.

A lot of male characters wear women's clothes (mostly for performing) but it's not a joke and it's treated as serious self-expression.

Extremely tame. Someone is punched and has a bloody nose, someone else gets a bloody lip, and a nongraphic shooting early on.
