What about George Takei then? Is he also a pretentious homophobe just because he doesn't agree with you?

I just watched the film a little while ago. I saw the scene, and then my mind just went "WTF?" because it was so small, that a blink and you would have missed it. People lost their shit over that.
It made me wish they made the next film in which everyone was gay, just to have those same angry, raging nerds explode with indignation.

Yes, "blink and you miss it" is right. I found the scene extremely subtle.
I daresay that, while the intent will likely be clear to American viewers who don't blink and miss that five-second shot, in various non-western cultures, where that level of physical contact is very common among same-sex friends without any romantic connotation at all, audiences may misunderstand the intent entirely and assume it's Sulu's brother or some regular friend.

Really kinky Klingons would just cuddle.
My mom didn't let us keep monkeys in the house.
@BillJ , stop it. Don't make it personal.
Stop it.
Stop it.
And can we for FFS leave the whole "homophobe" thing behind? I mean everybody.
It was an extremely unfortunate choice that it was introduced into this thread in the first place. I've asked repeatedly that it be dropped in this discussion. I'm tired of seeing people try to beat each over the head with it, and it stops.
Now.
My brain went straight to a euphemism...
Careful, too much euphemisming and you'll need a visor.
Or maybe one could infer that Sulu or his partner had a woman to serve as a surrogate.

It's also possible that Sulu, or Sulu's husband, carried Demora.
Indeed. This is THE FUTURE!

We seem to be dealing with it just fine.
I think the general population of the boards is more evolved and capable of dealing with something like a male pregnancy better than the average movie goer.We seem to be dealing with it just fine.

Surely if Arnold Schwarzenegger can make male pregnancy an acceptable event, so can we!
I highly doubt that. We had a shitstorm for that 5 second scene, a male pregnancy might cause WWIII
The scene was very subtle. It was nicely done.
I know of two films that deal with it. One starred Arnold Sschwarzenegger and the other Billy Crystal. Both came out decades ago.
