    I do remember reading that they did want to have those two characters being gay but the studio really pushed back on that. This is why it took so long for ST to have characters that are LGBT.

      Yeah. There are a lot of interviews of them saying they were both interested but was stymied by the system

      Can you cite the interview as I’ve never seen anything more than Robinson’s head canon to suggest anyone on the production intended this. Not that I care about LGBT rep in Trek, I just don’t like misinformation.
