[QUOTE]Originally posted by Treknophyle: [QB] "Lieutenant, these aliens live according to the Arisiotaelian Ideals." "Aristotle was gay, you know." "Oh, shut UP about it already!" LOL Seriously, a gay character sounds great - in fact, I hope that they pay attention to the actual percentage of gays in the general population (estimated at 10%) [http://www.sexualitybytes.ninemsn.com.au/adult/sexuality/Percentage.asp]. In a ship of 100+ persons, we should have at least 10 gay crewmen. Having just one makes him 'token'. Having 10 or more would make them a part of society. Also seriously, they could make GREAT strides by totally eliminating that 'accent' - you know the one - Jack Truman uses it on Will & Grace. I had a friend who came out - and started using it. I had to remind him that 'I knew him when' - and that he was aiding a stereotype ("please use your Westcoast Canadian accent when around me, okay? Gay is a lifestyle, not a speech impediment"). Sure enough, he could turn it off and on like a lightbulb. If they can keep from using OGSB (obviously gay stereotype behavious) on the show, Enterprise could conceivably go far in aiding the acceptance of gays in primetime - not as a gag or theme, but as a simply accepted 'of course'.
