It had an extremely disgusting subject for a movie back in 1969, but the the theme song made it to the top of the charts.
I think Myra Breckenridge was probably a lot more disgusting movie. Midnight Cowboy was pretty mild, as well as funny in a lot of spots. I think it's current rating is PG13, if that. And look at Jon Voight. He was the main character in Midnight Cowboy and there's almost no one in Hollywood who is as far right as he is.

I never did watch Midnight Cowboy, other than catching the very end on TV some years ago when Jon Voight leaves Dustin on the bus for someone else to deal. I remember the Clergy in my hometown picketing in front of the Delft Theater when it came out. I think they changed the rating to M after a few days.
