The elephant in the Star Trek room: homosexuality. I expect when Trek comes back to tv (and it will), this issue will be force feed on the audience in a way some (maybe now half or more) wish it had been previously.
It's for this reason I kind of hope we don't ever see the original timeline again and the new show is based on JJ-Trek, it will be a lot easier to pass it off when they start pushing the gay agenda on the show. I like it has it exist right now.
I get that some may see this feeling as heartless (although I seriously doubt I'm alone, just maybe a bit more willing to voice my opinion on the issue than some who'd agree with me), but I really wish Star Trek would leave the issue alone. I'm really not interested in watching gay Trek, and if (when) it gets pushed more than previous versions did, I'm done with the franchise. I have more respect for myself than indulging in filth. I'm sad that so many today confuse love for lust. Peace out.
Right... And YOU don't have an agenda maybe?
One could say (and I'm sure said) Star Trek involving black people in the 60s was "pushing" the civil rights agenda, Star Trek having female captains was pushing" the feminist agenda, etc.
Or one could say that having characters representative of the actual range of people in our society is a good thing. That Star Trek wouldn't be as good if 100% of all characters had been white males.
If Star Trek does come back on TV, which I certainly hope for, it will probably indeed feature gay characters. And for one, I'll be delighted.
As it turns out, I am gay, so obviously this is important to me - but I'm also a white male, who loved Captain Janeway and Sulu and Tuvok. Me being white and male doesn't mean I can only watch a show if the people portrayed are exactly like me (and as proof... I watched 700+ episodes of Star Trek with an all straight cast!) so I don't see why
you can't tolerate it.
Finally, I'm always amazed as to how people who watch a a TV series that's all about peace, tolerance and open-mindedness can be so conservative and intolerant. I find it really, really puzzling.
