Topics clu the gay Star Trek script that never got ma, the -gayed gay dad on Dead Like Me, the big gay character-driven show Fuller dreams of dog, and - *EXCLUSIVE* - his big reveal on the inty of Phg Daisi’ gay on through the jump for the gay spoiler and lots more Fuller! “I didn’t want to jt do another, like, pretty gay person, ” said Fuller.

“I thought would be tertg to have an olr character be gay.

PHG DAISI SPOILER: WHICH CHARACTER IS GAY?

”Fuller said he puts up a mental “orange ne” when to gay and lbian characters that have already been explored. It’s one of the reasons he wasn’t so exced about a “gay” script that was rattlg around for Star Trek: Voyager when he was part of that show.
