[QUOTE]Originally posted by Masao: [QB] We never same homosexuality on TOS (except for those who chose to see it). But in Metamorphosis, Kirk and the boys suggest a rather open attitude towards relationships in the 23rd century. Of course, the Companion is clearly identified as female for the sake of tender 1960s sensibilities. I'm not saying this proves existence of homosexuality in Trek, but just offer this as evidence of more open attitudes. (Note: I'm not entirely sure who says what lines) KIRK: You're a lover. COCHRANE: I'm a what? SPOCK: Her attitude toward you is profoundly different than when she contacts us. Her appearance is soft, gentle. Her voice is melodic, pleasing. I do not totally understand the emotion, but it obviously exists. The Companion loves you. COCHRANE: Do you know what you're saying? For all these years, I've let something as alien as that crawl around inside me, into my mind, my feelings. Kirk: It kept you alive. COCHRANE: It fed on me. It's disgusting. Kirk: There's nothing disgusting about it. It's just another life form.You get used to those things. COCHRANE: You're as bad as it is. SPOCK: Your highly emotional reaction is most illogical. Your relationship with the Companion has for 150 years been emotionally satisfying, eminently practical, and totally harmless. It may indeed have been quite beneficial. COCHRANE: Is this what the future holds, men who have no notion of decency or morality? Maybe I'm 150 years out of style, but I'm not going to be fodder for any inhuman monster. SPOCK: Fascinating -- a totally parochial attitude. [/QB][/QUOTE]
