In Rafferty and the Gold Dust Twins (1975), Sally Kellerman tells Alan Arkin that she and her sidekick MacKenzie Philips met in the lesbian section of the state prison. He freezes and does a slow stare, his eyes widening.

"Oh, shit," Kellerman laughs, "don't worry. I'm a woman."

In Stig Bjorkman's Georgia, Georgia (1972), Roger Furman plays the gay road manager of actress-singer Diana Sands. While on tour in Sweden, Sands' partiality to white lovers is attacked by a group of black Vietnam veterans as an abdication of her responsibility to her race. Furman is pointed out as a further example of her betrayal; his being a faggot distorts the image of the black man. "Get a real man," they tell her.
