In the room they rent in queens the outline of a dog is on the floor that was clearly killed (you don’t actually see the dog) and the man says “damn shame what they did to that dog”

No drugs are used on screen. A character falls down the stars and is unconscious, presumably from drugs or alcohol. Drugs are discussed at one point.

The king admits to having sex with his bathers. It is very clear that everyone employed by the royal family has to do whatever the royal family says no matter what, so there is no possibility of the bathers saying no and being able to keep their jobs. No sex is shown on screen however. Later on, someone tries to give the protagonist an unwanted handjob.

A transgender/crossdressing (not specified which) character is played for laughs but isn't explicitly misgendered (about 40 minutes in).

Not hate speech, but a character makes fun of the protagonist for being from Africa, and uses a lot of stereotypes in his ridicule.
