In other words, ’s gay and plited.

They fell to an easy rapport, and was hontly only a matter of time before they were sharg the first gay kiss on primetime TV for the world to see. Jadzia and Lenara had a gay flavor of tensn om the moment they started sharg a screen.

Their spicns of the women throughout the episo echo what some gay people experience real life.

'STAR TREK: DISVERY' AIRS FIRST-EVER GAY MALE KISS FRANCHISE'S 50-YEAR HISTORY

A stronger allegory for gay experienc uld only be ma if they were wearg rabow flags for the entire episo. Some fans saw Jadzia and Lenara kissg as part of a larger gay agenda wh Deep Space Ne.

They were the clost to gay reprentatn that Star Trek fans uld hope for at the time, and ma what followed a bter pill to swallow. Fans knowg the relatnship was doomed om the start helped give the impact need to have, wh gay viewers pecially.

It might have even been the talyst for the reprentatn of gay characters Star Trek for many years to e.

FALLY! AFTER 50 YEARS THERE’S BEEN A GAY KISS STAR TREK

Star Trek: Disvery stars Anthony Rapp and Wilson Cz ma TV history as the participants the inic anchise's first-ever gay kiss.

More than halfway through Pri Month, the LBGT+ staff here at TrekMovie thought the perfect time to brg a ltle gayns to your life. And what better way to unwd durg the tough tim than wh a gay Star Trek marathon? But, spe Trek not havg any openly gay characters for s first five s, there’s a lot of LGBT+ love to go around.

STAR TREK’S FIRST GAY COUPLE THAT WASN’T

This isn’t exactly a “rah rah we love the gays” moment, but ’s too funny not to clu. Jadzia Normaliz Gay Romance DS9’s “Rul of Acquisn”.

While you uld argue that this isn’t a gay Trek moment ( lerally isn’t—that’s the pot of the scene), ’s still a msage about the general acceptance of LGBT+ people the 24th century.
