Seven had already dumped Chak in the episode. In fact counting holo-Chak she dumped him twice!
Chakotay and Seven on Earth
- Thread starter GulBahana
- Start date
Which episode? Far as I know, they weren't yet a thing as of present day "Endgame".
In "Human Error" she dumped holo-Chak and in Endgame she dumped the real McCoy but he talked her out of it, remember?
For a long time, most people in my country had never heard of Star Trek aside maybe for little tidbits and I believe I saw a comic book or two...The only way to watch anything from the franchise was through the cable which was not common until about twenty years ago or so...Now everything has changed, plus we have things like Netflix...
"Chakotay and Seven, on Earth"... that sounds like a tamarian expression, doesn't it?
That's how I feel about most Star Trek related pairings.
I can understand that. But some are worse than others, and a few are almost palatable.
I still get a kick out of the fact that a pairing that was never explored not only was quite real, but even produced an in-cast pregnancy.

They all are, for me, uninteresting by default. Well orchestrated but ultimately forgettable in a serious that supposedly is about exploring out in space. But, no, we have to have the "Will the/won't they?" styling romances.
The few palatable ones are that because they are treated as background texture not focus of episodes. Otherwise, I would watch a romance show and not the show with the rocket ships and ray guns.
It's not just rocket ships and ray guns, it's about the characters you come to know, and appreciate, and even name your kids after. Your cat, anyway.
Caring about characters doesn't equal wanting romantic plots/subplots/whatnots. Maybe I just want characters doing the adventurous stuff.
Though I agree with you that sexual orientation is primarily genetic and biological, it isn't solely that. Just a quick search on Google provides the answer:
Scientists do not know the exact cause of sexual orientation, but they theorize that it is caused by a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental influences. Although no single theory on the cause of sexual orientation has yet gained widespread support, scientists favor biologically based theories.

Again, though, I generally agree with you. I also agree with Oddish though. You might be born with a certain orientation but how you choose to live your life is, of course, up to you.
They've encountered and played with one gender neutral kid a few years older than them so far as I recall. They were probably around 7 or 8 at the time. I don't think they even realized that there was anything different about them.
Other than that, I'm not aware of any other LGBQT child they've encountered or are aware of. It's possible they have but if these kids were out, I'm pretty sure I would've heard about it.
Um, no, California doesn't require that, thankfully. How about yours?
No, I'm afraid you guessed wrong. It's been public school all the way except for 3rd grade for the girl at parochial. She just finished 4th grade back in public school.
Isn't tolerance, civility, and justice enough?
As for IDIC, right back at you. It goes both ways.
Exactly. How people choose to live their lives is up to them. That goes, no matter what.
Were they harmed by these interactions?
Why are you that sure? Do you not think it possible that kids would feel more comfortable coming out to their age peers, but not to adults they don't know if they can trust?
I'm in Canada. Same-sex relationships were decriminalized in 1968, and same-sex marriage was legalized in 2005. Sexual orientation is one of the bases on which people cannot legally be discriminated against, according to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Tolerance has such a grudging way about it. Acceptance has a much better ring.
Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination, including intolerance?
O-kay...
Chakotay and the rest of the maquis terrorists were probably arrested five minutes after Voyager returned and Seven noped out of that relationship.
I think they offered Chak the position that was initially reserved for Neelix, ambassador of quadrupeds....
Agreed, but only tolerance should be enforced by any law, or any public institutional rule.
If they were, they were probably released within hours, with a full pardon. And if any admiral or JAG officer had a problem with that, Janeway probably just gave them her patented Death Glare, and problem solved.
The Equinox's surviving crew, on the other hand... I doubt they got off so lightly.
Nope. Why should they be? The parents were family friends.
Because I'm pretty honest with my kids and I encourage them to ask questions.
Oh, sure.
Good for Canada. We have a lot of that in the US too, as you know.
Did Captain Sisko ever accept that the Bajoran prophets were gods? Yet the Starfleet and Bajoran members on DS9 were able to work and form friendships despite the Bajoran religious beliefs. Same with Worf's beliefs on TNG. They were respected but not shared by his crewmates.
I never said that.
What if it's Chak that dumped Seven?
