Do you think Star Trek should do more for LGBTQ+ issues?

Years ago, Star Trek was the first to broadcast a kiss between a white guy and a black women. That was good. But the show never shows gay or gender fluid people. That is bad.
God I hope we are still not confused by sex issues in the future..

Beam me the fuck away Scotty

You've obviously not watched Star Trek Discovery, which, although bloody awful, has a gay couple (the chief engineer and the chief medical officer) serving aboard the starship.

@SassySarah Then why did the potential issue bother you? 🤔

@Quizzical because its a show that usually has a lot of influence

@SassySarah Well, it's doesn't so much these days I'm afraid. They've become overly interested in promoting social issues rather than telling a good story, and the viewership has reduced because of it.

[c=#7700B2]i don't like star trek, so they can do whatever.. i hate when tv shows and movies do things just to pander to lgbtq community.. They should just focus on good story telling and not let outside influences infect their work [/c]

I care more about good story lines than social issues.

Yeah they tried hard bless them but it's still very much of it's time. The original still had a law that women couldn't be captains, the next generation only had women as a doctor and a counselor - admittedly they had a security chief but they killed her off WAY early - and everyone was white except the alien.

I think that's what "Another World" on Netflix was meant to be. If you Google a few pictures, you'll see most of the crew look halfway between male and female

No it wasn’t [i][b]bad[/b][/i]. Interracial relationships were much more common at that time than openly gay people .

I did like the dresses that were worn by all genders in the next generation.

They dabbled a few times but could have done way more
