The gay agenda is reminding people that not only do gay people exist, but that they deserve equal rights. If you have issues with that you have no business in modern society and should be rightfully ashamed of your own ignorance and bigotry.
In my experience, just acknowledging that gay people exist constitutes an agenda as far some some people are concerned. Apparently they think they're entitled to live in a world in which they never have to be reminded that gay people are a thing. God forbid they should actually appear in books or movies or whatever!
I'll be perfectly honest: I don't get homosexuality. It just doesn't compute in my head. But that doesn't give me license to judge others. Believe me, I have enough on my plate that the idea of judging others is the last thing I care about.
Be a good person. I care about that. Be kind. That matters. Be yourself, and be true to yourself. That matters the most. Go and be the best you that you can imagine, to hell with what anyone else thinks. Be you, without apology. Be you, defiantly. Scream it at the stars if you feel the need, but never be anything less than you. There's only one you, so you'd better be the best at it. I don't give a damn if you're straight or gay, or effing chartreuse and farting rainbows. Be you, and be content.

If you really want to demonstrate how comfortable you are with your sexuality then you shouldn't feel so threatened by having to see only a small fraction of the representation LGBT people should have in the media, nor should you consider it an agenda for them to simply exist onscreen and at most show mild affection for each other like holding hands or kissing. It's not like they're taping your eyes open and forcing you to watch gay porn. It's Star Trek, it's about as vanilla as they come. Showing four inches of buttcheek cleavage on ENT was considered scandalous in this franchise. Although, it is streaming now, so they might up the ante and go with two men spooning under the sheets in bed! Oh my, I'm getting the vapors!
You know, there are people with an actual "gay agenda". They're the people who mentally and physically torture LGBT teens and adults with conversion therapy. They're the draft deferring cowards who ban transgendered people from serving in the military after they've already served their country honorably. They're the ones who vote against UN resolutions condemning legislation allowing for the capital punishment of LGBT persons around the world. They're the ones who won't provide basic goods and services to LGBT couples.
Acknowledging that gay people exist by representing them in TV and film is not an agenda, it's reality. Deal with it and concentrate your energies on something more important. Perhaps like fighting some of the wrongs I mentioned above committed by other people who also claim to be very comfortable about their sexuality.
i dont get straight women. men are gross. i mean im glad i have a straight woman buy i still dont get it
Everyone is a human being deserving equality and dignity. Just my humble 2 cents.
That's it in a nutshell. Perfectly said.
Yeah, I'm at a loss as to how they put up with us. Just go with it and don't ask too many questions.
i dunno Yankees fans are pretty intolerable.
The Cleveland Indians are kicking their butts so far. It all evens out.
You monster.
i know. the nerve if some people.
Some people should join the 21st century before worrying about a fictional 23rd century.
It's disappointing that this has to be an issue at all. That's putting it politely. People who can't accept it need to go the way of every group that imposes their will and hate on others, into the history books as unnamed idiots.
With that said I hope the producers of discovery can make being gay as normal as drinking a cup of tea.

In a time where the Federation delights and celebrates the diversity of various species, it seem perverse that the same would not be true of humans. We should see far more than a single gay character, at this point we need trans people, asexual crew members, gender and sexually fluid crew members. Star Trek should be leading the way, not catching up after 30 years.
Of course diversity should not be limited only to sexual orientation and gender. It’s (should be) also about ethnicity, race, color, culture, religion, age, socio-economic status/class, mental/physical abilities, etc...
