STAR TREK’S FIRST GAY COUPLE THAT WASN’T
So why did DS9’s producers ci to take such a huge risk wh a gay uple on their new show? Creator Gene Rodnberry promised that there would be gay characters, and wrer David Gerrold even wrote a script to fulfill that promise for TNG’s first season.
They axed the script wh two gay men; when Gene proposed showg same-sex upl the background, they told a wrer to ignore him. Years later, shownner and wrer Ira Steven Behr would exprs remorse at their failure to plumb those pths, and said that he wished they’d had Garak e out as gay so they uld have explored the relatnship further.
