Star Trek and Queerness

Welcome to today's episode of Queerly Popular! Today, I am sharing a great conversation I had with my friend Mycroft Masada about Star Trek. We focus a lot on queer coded characters, but we also touch on a lot of other things that show how Star Trek was always "woke". We do focus exclusively on DS9, Next Generation, Voyager, and the Original Series because that is what we have seen. Neither of us has seen any of the newer series. We do briefly mention some queer characters, but we don't talk about them. If you want to come on to talk specifically about those characters, please let me know. This is also a longer than normal episode at almost 82 minutes. I think you'll enjoy the entire thing, I know I did. If you want to see the meme Mycroft talks about (Kor and Jadzia), click here. Mycroft is on Twitter (@mycroft_masada) and Instagram (@mycroft_masada). They are also on Facebook as is Westminster Flabby. Please give them a follow.
