The irony is that if you already "knew" that Quinto was gay even though he never came out, you could have only assumed that he was gay. And that makes you homophobic.
At least that's the discussion I had with a friend 15 minutes ago.
I wrote near-complete. Showing pretty lesbians is just barely acceptable, especially with the added Trill complications that muddle the male-female line.
I don't think it's a stretch to assume Roddenberry disapproved of bestiality.
This post is retarded and probably wasn't loved enough as a child.After noticing this, I'm not surprised.
Ok goodie he ame out, can we get on w/ the movie now. I agree with M'Sharak that this would have killed his career a generation ago, there is a congresswoman's hubby in my district who thinks this is something that can be cured (which I think is bs). I truely hope it personality wise than sexuality.
It's so weird... I remember something newsy about it. And it was a while back too.I should add that I like Quinto and I thought he was already out of the closet. Doesn't matter to me if he's gay or not. He still is one hot Spock.

http://www.advocate.com/News/Daily_News/2010/10/25/Zachary_Quinto_Quiet_on_Gay_Rumors/ Here's something. I guess it was all the rumors last year about this time.
David Gerrold left the staff of TNG over Roddenberry saying ther he would produce Bolld & Fire and then backing out of it. Berman claimed that they showed gay people but they never made a big deal about it since it was commonplace. Well, so is hetrosexuality but we never had any lack of depictions of hetro relationships but never even a glimps that there were any gay people in the future. Not one example. Ever.
We saw any number of incidental crewmembers involved in hetro relationships but never even saw a same sex couple holding hands.
You don't need a big neon arrow gaying GAY--> pointing at someone to acknowled that there are still going to be gay people in the future. As it is, you could write an episode of Enterprise where someone creates a virus that prevents gay people from being born and not violate a single aired minute of Star Trek.

But that would be considered pandering or stereotyping. "Why would anyone in the 23rd or 24th century create a virus that effects only humans in that way? Wouldn't it make more sense to target a gender or the entire race, affecting women's abilities to bear children at all?" That would seem the question to ask at the writing table.
Brilliant!
Oh yeah, I remember that! That was the point where I said something like that if someone doesn't directly answer the question "are you gay" it shows that he's uncomfortable and it's highly probable that he indeed is gay. And then I got flamed at for saying that.
Well we also have the episode where the Jadzia asks what a "male" ferengi being in love with Quark. She is surprised not about a male being in love with a male, but that the person was actually a women. Nor do we see a Sisko have any issue with the female female couples with the mirror universe.
Haha, actually, there's constant beastiality in Trek. An Orion girl having sex with Kirk isn't so far away from a human having sex with an (intelligent) monkey.
There's "poorly researched" and there's "I heard one of the cast was gay so I'm just gonna assume it's whichever one I'm writing about here."
They mention that Sulu has a family in "Generations", and we see his daughter, but they never mention a wife. How do we know that Sulu's partner wasn't a man? They could have had a child together with the help of a surrogate mother. I'm not saying that Sulu is gay, but I don't think there would be anything violating established canon if he was.
I'm not suggesting that Sulu should be gay because the actor is, but at the same time, I actually think Sulu being gay would be cool. Nothing wrong with having a gay crew member on the 1701.
