Characters display homophobic and sexist attitudes, but their discrimination is called out and clearly condemned by other characters and the episode as a whole. There is a passing reference to domestic abuse when a character asserts that a now deceased man was assaulting his wife whilst he was alive. There is brief sight of male buttock nudity.
