[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] Well if we are to believe that Trek represents this liberal and egalitarian/utopian vision of society wherein everyone is accepted for who and what they are, I think the omission of openly gay characters is inconsistent and, well, kind of prudishly silly. (Again, not that they need to make a big fuss about the fact that this character is gay every FRICKIN' episode, just matter of fact, in the same way that Geordi was black (But not in the same way that he was handicapped.) But what I was talking about is the irrelevence/insignifigance of his skin-tone (see also Uhura)). So why not a gay character? At this point what could they really be risking? This would be doing good for the society of social progress and at the same time it'd likely garner Paramount some much needed publicity. I'm given to understand that the ratings for Enterprise are more or less in the bidet as is. He could be the ship's quartermaster if they needed to go that Will and Grace route. [/QB][/QUOTE]
