"I'm not against representation, but..." folks be like

Racism they took head on more, but gender/sexuality they had to be more creative so as to keep berman and the execs from figuring it out.

Gender and sexuality have made leaps and bounds since then and episodes that deal with it similarly now are more likely to be broadcast. It's the same spirit as before, just catching up with the times.

This meme is really stretching to begin with.

Jadzia wasn't a lesbian. She could have passed as Bi, but she is so often referenced in trans discussions that it seems like she should have been T instead of that one off character from TNG.

I guess the author struggled to find a character for L so they slapped her in there lazily?

Even Odo could have been used for T because his people don't even have genders, they emulate them purely for the convenience of the audience. 🤷‍♂️

But then Garak did not feel strictly gay either. In fact it seemed like his attraction was more based around the quality of someone's interaction rather than their gender.
