thinking about how jonathan frakes thought riker should have kissed a man in the no gender alien episode. and andrew robinson playing garak so gay they had to write less scenes with him and dr bashir. and multiple other instances of cast/crew/writers wanting to have gay characters and stories and repeatedly being told no by showrunners and producers. it makes me so sad for everyone who missed out on telling or seeing lgbt stories on a show that was supposed to push boundaries. im just thinking about it.
ALTfuuuuuuuuck
