I have a suspicion that Klingons would consider not being your true self dishonorable.
Probably. I also believe that they would truly honor someone who went through a difficult, painful journey in order to realize - and become - who they really are.
They would sing songs of their struggle and subsequent conquest and glory!
Some day, we’ll get a Trek series that treats LGBTQ folx as people rather than set-pieces, and, perhaps, we will hear those songs…
What’s SNW and even DSC then? I’m confused how main characters like Ortegas and Stamets are “set-pieces”? I do really hope they bring back Captain Angel though, what a great baddie (you love) haha.

Well, when they only exist to die for plot points and their only character developent exists to service the convenience of the moment— yeah, clearly these characters are only important as a matter of plot convenience, not as actual people.

It’s cheap, shitty, and shallow. And if you don’t see that for what it is, I feel very bad for you. but I feel worse for all of the LGBTQ audience members who are fooled into thinking that this is progress. It’s fucking trash.

Trek has only evolved from “lgbtq people are invisible” to “lgbtq people are expendable for the sake of ratings”

They only acknowledge us to murder us horribly in order to yank tears.

I AM NOT A PLOT POINT

lgbtq people are expendable for the sake of ratings

It certainly felt that way when they killed off (redacted for spoilers, but we all know who). It was cheap, and I’m glad they course corrected.
