    You got Jadzia’s kiss, you got Riker and the androgynous species, and all of Intendant Kira.

    I’m not saying those few cases are enough representation (Kira being arguably a bad example, making her sexuality into a more “evil” trait), but they were definitely overt. On the other hand, there’s zero basis for saying Prime Kira was bi, and Doctor Twink was quite straight, no matter how gay Garak was.

    Honestly, I thought Julian and Garak was perfectly executed. Garak may have been flirty, but Julian was obviously more enamored with the spy scenario and intrigue (as we delved deeper into in Our Man Bashir and to some degree, the Section 31 episodes).

        I guess your attention span ran out after four words, so you ignored the rest of the explanation

        But that’s a you problem

          Got nothing else so you resort to insults? Poor form.

          I really get the feeling you were not queer in the 90’s, and you’re trying to backfill what it was like. As someone who was (and still is, well the queer part at least) you’re getting it terribly wrong

            It’s not “nothing else”, you just ignored the rest of what I said. Literally everything in your last post was already addressed in what I said

            If you took that as an insult, well… I’ve already said it.
