[Captain Robert April]

From Gene Roddenberry's novelization of "The Motion Picture":

Editor's note: The human concept of friend is most nearly duplicated in Vulcan thought by the term t'hy'la, which can also mean brother or lover. Spock's recollection (from which this chapter is drawn) is that it was a most difficult moment for him since he did indeed consider Kirk to have become his brother. However, because t'hy'la, can be used to mean lover, and since Kirk's and Spock's friendship was unusually close, this has led to some speculation over whether they had actually indeed become lovers. At our request, Admiral Kirk supplied the following comment on this subject:

"I was never aware of this lovers rumor, although I have been told that Spock encountered it several times. Apparently he had always dismissed it with his characteristic lifting of his right eyebrow which usually connoted some combination of surprise, disbelief, and/or annoyance. As for myself. although I have no moral or other objections to physical love in any of its Earthly, alien, and mixed forms, I have always found my best gratification in that creature woman. Also, I would dislike being thought of as so foolish that I would select a love partner who came into sexual heat only once every seven years."

Well, the subtext would certainly have made the character more interesting.

Pine's Kirk is probably less gay than Shatner's.

I always thought he and spock had some closet relationship going on behind the scenes

Congratulations, you're the first person in the world to think that.

yeah, but Quinto's Spock keeps the flame burning bright

Y'know in ST II TWOK when Carol Marcus said Kirk was NEVER a boy scout,

Robert

Perhaps off duty, he would go out at night and, you know ... scout for boys?

He's not gay for me. I stumbled across the pairing in the bleak worl of fanfic, but it does not feel right for me.

 

[Cheapjack]

I doubt that a legendary 'minge-muncher' like Kirk was gay.

 

[Captain MAJ]

[Yeoman Randi]

no

This.

 

[bbailey861]

Agreed.

Maybe he was an omnivore?

 

[Captain Robert April]

In spite of all this, the K/Sers won't even be slow down.

It seems highly improbably that he is anything other than heterosexual.

 

[DonIago]

Though one could make an argument that his largely-insubstantial relationships with women actually suggest that they're not ultimately what he's looking for. Were one so inclined.

Now we're talking.
