[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] While all of this is really interesting as a discussion about if such Earthly faiths actually condemn homosexuality, and while I'm tempted to put on my biblical scholar's cap and discuss law vs. Grace and whether or not Old Testament teaching has any revelance to New Covenent followers, I'm not going to, because it's all rather moot to Star Trek. What individual Flare members think of the subject of homosexuality, or what this or that religion does or doesn't say about it, or whether or not said religions are used to forgive or condemn it seem like a subjects outside of the topic. To sort of summarize the early parts of this post, the lack of it's portrayal on Star Trek probably has everything to do with the worldview of the production staff and/or their desire to please (or pander to) their audience, and nothing to do with what they think would actually be going on in their fictional world. After all, in this fictional universe that tolerates Kirk porking every alien babe in gogo boots Klingons breeding with humans, Trills carrying slugs around inside them, mind melds, and consensual "possessions" (Return to Tomorrow, TOS) it's difficult imagining homosexuality even getting a blink. Just my two credits. [/QB][/QUOTE]
