STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NE ACTOR WANTED HIS CHARACTER TO BE OPENLY GAY
Dpe homophobic phback, Deep Space Ne gave some fantastic queer stori - even if they were never "officially" queer. Star Trek managed to predict mobile phon, headsets, and Alexa, but uldn’t que predict gay people.
Oh, and they wanted to panr to homophobic viewers. This was somethg wrers of the time had to adapt to - gettg the gays their shows whout offendg the nservative crowd, or providg enough subtext for queer viewers to pick apart and claim as their own as a slight form of reprentatn. As a rult, media of the 1990s and 2000s is filled wh allegori for gay people, but few actual ncrete exampl of them.
