@worfamerryman Take it easy on Sam, he was trying to go home and his last jump put him on a starship with very little hint as to what's going on.

Bell curve on Kinsey scale: centers around 2.5 with exclusively hetero or homosexual people being uncommon
@startrekexplained: "Most people are straight"
@startrekexplained Let me clarify. I believe the writers wanted to openly ship them, and didn't because Paramount was trying to make it a political issue. I firmly believe existing is not political and trying to make it that way is pretty cowardly.
@startrekexplained @BobKerman3999 Doesn't seem that hard to me. It's entirely possible an entire room of writers would have considered existing apolitical and wanted to cast a gay couple as not even being remarkable, even back then.
I was also in the closet back then. Mostly because there's people out there who want to make existing political, and want me dead now because of it.
@Admin Heh, seems random when we can follow the sub from Mastodon directly! I mean, that's how I've been doing it.
