I was just reading that thread in the Roger Moore section about Magda and I started thinking about the amount of gay, or possibly gay characters in the Bond films. Theres quite a few.
Rosa Klebb - obvious lesbian
Pussy Galore - implied lesbian
Mr.Wynt and Mr. Kidd - obviously gay lovers.
Le Chiffre - Theres definately something there.
Auric Goldfinger - rich but no mistress, the closest thing he has is a babe who is paid "only to be seen" with him, he doesnt sleep with her. Was the way they reinforce the fact to us that they dont sleep together a hint?
Vargas - "does not make love"?
Blofeld? Cross dresser, never seen with a mistress. Hangs around Irma Bunt described as extremely ugly, and uses an "alias" as her husband.
Are there more?

I seem to remember there being a thread on this topic quite recently, but can't seem to find it now. The one that immediately comes to mind at the moment is Verity, as played by Madonna in DIE ANOTHER DAY. Sure there are more though.

In the novels, Blofeld and Bunt are together. But the films do, yes, leave us not knowing.
Elliot Carver.
There are many more characters that could be inferred as being homosexual, I'm sure.

Carver was married though, and seemed most interested in Wai Lin.
It seems a lot of the Bond villains are asexual - Drax, Kamal Kahn, Gustav Graves, Dr.No, Red Grant, Le Chiffre, Blofeld (although he developed some...tendencies in DAF), though some are more are bit more suspect than others.
