i made this in june and then procrastinated adding subtitles until now aghdfhadg. anyway, it’s just supposed to be a fun little video with some queer scenes i thought of off the top of my head. hope you enjoy!

[Video Description: White text on a dark grey background that says: "Star Trek Pride - LGBT by cupcakKe. some queer star trek scenes (definitely not all or most of them). In the top left corner is an illustration of the progress flag with rainbow horizontal stripes and with more stripes on the left side of the flag in a V-formation. The outmost stripe being black, then brown, light blue, light pink, white; followed by a yellow triangle with a purple line forming a circle in the middle.

Benjamin Sisko saying: "We're coming out". The song LGBT begins to play. It's instrumental.

Quark saying: "This is time for a pride demonstration."

A woman has her arms crossed. She is standing next to a man who is looking up at her. She says: "Our library is far too sophisticated for a man to comprehend." Cut to Riker who looks away. Behind him are Troi and Yar and Data. Data steps forward as he says: "I'm an android, mistress." The genderqueer flag appears in front of Data's torso, accompanied by three sparkles.

Kirk and Spock are standing in front of each other. Spock says: "I have been and always shall be yours." As Spock speaks it, the word "yours" appears on screen in cursive and surrounded by three sparkles.

Spock sits down on the captain's chair, looking puzzled. In the background nurse Chapel and Uhura walk into frame. They give each other a small hug and they kiss. A heart line appears around them. Chapel walks off into the turbolift. Uhura just stands there for a moment with one hand near her mouth. Three small hearts surround her.

Picard and Riker power-walk with serious expressions through a corridor on the Enterprise. The lyrics of the song go: "fuck out my way when you see me / I'm rollin' with the LGBT"

La Forge and Worf run through a corridor on the Enterprise. The lyrics of the song again: "fuck out my way when you see me"

Spock is lying in a bed in sick bay. McCoy and Kirk stand next to the bed. Kirk has a very concerned expression. He leans over Spock and has his hand on Spock's shoulder while Spock's hand rests on Kirk's arm. Song: "I'm rollin' with the LGBT". The camera angle changes so the viewer looks at Spock from over Kirk's shoulder. Kirk and Spock now hold hands. Song: "I'm rollin' with the LGBT / I'm rollin' with the LGBT"

Jadzia Dax passionately kissing her ex wife. Song: "I'm rollin' with the LGBT / lookin' like we belong on TV / I'm rollin' with the LGBT"

A short shot of Lieutenant Yar, then cut to Counselor Troi who says to Picard: "Lt. Yar is physically very attractive." The song is just instrumental again. Bashir sitting on a couch. Behind him is O'Brien sitting on something else. Bashir looks at O'Brien who says: "Well, people either love... or hate you". The words "love you" appear on-screen in a soft pink font as they are spoken and the words "hate you" appear in a hard red font as they are spoken.

Cut to a different scene featuring Bashir and O'Brien. They are sitting right next to each other leaning against a wall. Bashir says: "...and I love Ezri. Passionately." There a vocals of the song heard faintly in the background.

Cut back to the first scene. O'Brien is now leaning on the couch near Bashir and says: "I really do!" Bashir looks at him expectantly. O'Brien says: "...not hate you anymore." The words "not hate you" appear on-screen in a soft pink font.

Cut back to the second scene. Bashir says: "It's just that I... like you... a bit more."

Kirk, Spock and a yeoman are on the bridge. Kirk is sitting in the captain's chair. The other two are standing behind him. The yeoman is touching Kirk's lower back. Kirk says: "Dig it in there, Mr.Sp-" but cuts himself off as he notices Spock who stepped next to him so that Kirk can see him standing there.  Kirk and Spock exchange a look. The yeoman takes her hand away.

Jadzia Dax and a klingon are hugging. The klingon laughs and says: "Oh Curzon! My beloved old friend." Jadzia answers: "I'm Jadzia now". Light blue, light pink and white hearts appear around her face. They let the hug go and are now holding onto each others' arms. An illustration of a worm on the string coloured as the trans flag appears on screen. The klingon says: "Ah, well, Jadzia! My beloved old friend."

Data walking through the corridors of the Enterprise. There are other officers walking towards him. He changes direction and walks into a corridor on the right. When the other officers get close to him a force-field appears and two of the officers walk into it and fall to the ground. Data keeps walking unfazed. Data has left the frame and the two officers are still on the ground. The song is louder again and the lyrics go: "fuck out my way when you see me / I'm rollin' with the LGBT"

Tuvok jogs through a corridor on the Voyager followed by a couple of crewmembers jogging behind him. Other officers who were walking there have to make space for them and stand with their backs by the wall. Song: "fuck out my way when you see me / I'm rollin' with the LGBT"

Data and Geordi look at each other and give each other a nod. Geordi smiles and his hand rests on Data's shoulder. Song: "I'm rollin' with the LGBT"

Mirror!Kira and Mirror!Ezri standing in front of each other. Kira holds Ezri's chin in her hand. Then they kiss. Song: "I'm rollin' with the LGBT / lookin' like we belong on TV / I'm rollin' with the LGBT"

Odo scoffs, turns and walks away. Song: "I'm rollin' with the LGBT" Cut to Quark standing next to Kira. Quark says: "That man loves me!" The song faintly goes: "I'm rollin' with the LGBT" and then fades out. Quark, turning to Kira, says: "Couldn't you see? It was written all over his back" He then raises a glass he's holding to where Odo had been standing and walks out of frame as well. Description End]

Exact quotes and references:

Data: "With regard to romantic relationships, there is no real me." (and "In Theory" in general); "I have no sexual desire."

Q: "There’s no question in my mind that when I play [Q], I love Picard." - John de Lancie

Beverly Crusher: "Bev would have slept with male or female" - Gates McFadden

Julian Bashir: "I don't think Bashir had a very overt sexuality…he certainly had a stunted sense of sexuality…I don't think that he put the…platonic side [and] the physical side together. So he could fall in love across…the board...because he's falling in love with both sexes." - Alexander Siddig (edited for brevity and clarity)

Jadzia Dax: The entire episode of "Rejoined"; "Terry Farrell says Jadzia Dax was pansexual." (Article)

Elim Garak: "It’s about being omnisexual. That basically his sexuality is something that can happen with anyone." - Andrew Robinson

Mirror Kira Nerys: Shows interest in men and women

Mirror Ezri Dax: Kisses/in relationship with Mirror Kira

Seven of Nine: Hand holding with Raffi, their relationship throughout second season; "Oh, Seven is canonically bi, don't you worry." - Jeri Ryan (Twitter)

Phlox: "I was trying very hard to suggest he had a polyamorous relationship with the boys as well as the girls. I do tell people I was the first gay character on Star Trek, whether you were aware of it or not." - John Billingsley

Hikaru Sulu: Shown with husband

Michael Burnham: "You've never been in love." (This is probably the vaguest one, but the discussion is about romantic love, and if a fully grown adult like Burnham has explicitly never experienced romantic love before, I think it's safe to say they're somewhere on the aro/ace-spectrum)

Keyla Detmer: "[S]he maybe is starting to accept herself in her own queerness, whatever that means." - Emily Coutts

Paul Stamets: "[I]n my universe, and pretty much any universe I can possibly imagine, I'm gay."

Hugh Culber: "I'm gay, and so is [Culber]."

Mirror Philippa Georgiou: Shown with male and female sexual partners

Jett Reno: "My wife is Soyousian."

Raffaela "Raffi" Musiker: Hand holding with Seven, their relationship throughout second season

Beckett Mariner: "Oh, I'm always dating bad boys. Bad girls, bad gender-nonbinary babes, ruthless alien masterminds, bad Bynars..."

Andarithio "Andy" Billups: "[I]f you're planning on tricking me into intercourse, think again. The only lady I love is two decks tall, and pumped full of dilithium;" "You need to accept the fact that I'll be a virgin for the rest of my life."

Adira Tal: "Um, 'they,' not–not 'she.' I've never felt like a 'she' or–or a 'her,' so I would prefer 'they' or 'them' from now on."

Gray Tal: "Transitioning, it's like, I had bigger things to think about. But, if I get another chance to remake my body, then why not get rid of all the things that aren't totally me."

Zero: "Not a robot, nor a he, or she."

Christine Chapel: "He and I are on the same page. Casual, no attachments, this is just for fun, zero commitments." "[Y]ou said the same thing about that gal on Argelius II."

Hi!~ I'm interesting in participating in your FemSlash event this year, and just wanted to make absolutely sure what I was thinking of writing was alright. So, is it alright for what I write to be for a character (female obviously) from Strange New Worlds? And is it allowed to be a 'femcharacter x gn!reader', or is this only for 'femcharacter x femcharacters' I just like to make sure before I do anything for events lol. Thanks~ (you can answer this publicly, privately or dm me - your choice) :)

Hi @make-me-imagine! Yes, that would be absolutely alright. We're happy to hear you're interested in writing for the event! It's open to all of Star Trek this year, though we're still using our usual Discovery promo material as that's the mods' main focus.

Because a Femslash Fortnight implies female characters only, we've decided not to promote the event for enby characters as we wouldn't want to make people think we're clustering them with women, but as the event is there to create more fan content for women because they often get less attention, and nonbinary characters certainly face the same issue, we're open to submissions about them.

Also, as long as the main character of your story is a woman, you're already meeting the requirements anyway - you could even write about a bi or straight woman with a male partner, as long as she is clearly the focus of the story and not the het relationship.

Have fun writing!

I think it is very important for new Star Trek fans, especially new TOS fans to know that in 2008, George Takei, who played Sulu, got married to his partner of 23 years, Brad Altman, and at their wedding, Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, and Walter Koenig, who played Chekov, served as Best Lady and Best Man.

Hii, a friend requested that I draw a star trek design for a t-shirt, it was supposed to be based off of the “busy thinking about girls” T-shirt design from the LGBT section of target :,) I think I embodied it well.

Anyways, have a good day/evening!!

Sharing the Sunlight Fanzine & Novel | Drawings by Chris Soto, 1992

Entire work available to read here!

Editorial note from author Jenna Sinclair:

"I have been in love with the Star Trek universe and its characters for twenty-five years now. I wrote my first 'novella' in the seventh grade. Over the years I wrote sporadically, mostly in my head, never, ever satisfied, knowing that there was an elusive 'something' I was unable to grasp. But then I discovered K/S! Unbelievably, it took me a good twenty-three and a half years to do it! I felt as if I had been working on a puzzle all that time, and finally the pieces flew naturally into place. Like just about everybody else, I became obsessed. In six months, I read about 200 zines (yes, I was broke and suffering from eyestrain), and then I sat down to write an established relationship short story, as a way of saying 'thank you' to all the K/S authors, artists, and editors who had given me so much pleasure. That story refused to be written, and this first time novel came flowing from my pen instead. The first 120 pages were composed on a 25 year old typewriter which lacked a 'k,' a '/', and a '-'. You try writing a novel with Kirk, Spock, and other fairly essential words without a 'k'!"

[scientific-tricorder]

An uncharitable grumpy aromantic reading of Star Trek: Picard's second season:

This season states that, in order to have a happy life and feel complete and at peace with one's self, one must have a romantic partner.

The most obvious example of this is in Jean-Luc Picard. His primary arc is to overcome his buried childhood trauma - in order to be able to enter a romantic relationship with Laris. Q even explicitly states that he set the story of the season up so that Picard would be forced to confront and come to terms with what happened when he was a child so that he doesn't have to die alone like Q. The season defines 'not dying alone' as not having a romantic partner by introducing Picard's trauma during his aborted kiss with Laris (thing prevents romance) and showing him and Laris together at the end (thing gone, thus romance).

We also see this theme rather blatantly expressed in Ríos's arc. He feels out of place in the 25th century, and so at home in the 21st century that he's willing to drop his entire life in the 25th, never to see any of his friends or relatives ever again, to live out the rest of his life in the 21st, where he's been arrested for existing, doesn't understand the rules of society, has to learn how to deal with money, will have to find a career when there's no equivalent to what he's been trained in (yes, okay, one can argue plane pilot, but those are flown very differently to La Sirena, and good luck getting a license with zero documentation), etc. What's so different between the two that he's willing to make this major life decision after only a few days? A romance with Teresa.

We see this theme continue to our leading ladies. Seven and Raffi's main storyline is the two of them cementing their relationship with each other. Jurati's might not seem to fit the pattern, and while it doesn't exactly, but she gets her happy ending by merging with (or getting together with) the Borg Queen - a relationship that had some pretty heavy sexual coding (and arguably to an extent romantic coding, if only due to a cultural conflation of the two). The fact that Borg Queen/Jurati became a ship very early into the season demonstrates that.

Rounding out the main cast, we have Elnor (no romantic storyline for him since he's dead for most of the season, so), Tallinn (doesn't fit the pattern unless one really stretches to argue her relationship with Renée), Kore (no romantic storylines), and Soong. Soong also doesn't have a romantic relationship, but his lack of such is more emphasized by the story. See the scene wherein Kore discovers her true origins and we get this from Soong: "Anyone can procreate. You exist because I willed it!" I.e. He rejected normal procreation to instead pursue science gone mad - something portrayed rather unequivocally as bad. If we associate normal procreation with a romantic relationship (as it often is), we see the rejection of romance associated with villainy.

The only other regularly recurring characters are Ricardo (he's literally a kid), Guinan (no romantic storylines), Renée (no romantic storylines), and Q (one can argue romantic tones to his relationship with Picard).

Overall, the most central characters all have character arcs that end with them finding their happy ending in some sort of romantic(-ish) relationship, and the two characters who seem to reject romance (Picard and Soong) either overcome an obstacle to achieve romance or become villainous. The character arc of the namesake of the show is even explicitly linked to achieving romance as an end goal for a good life and death.

-

Please note that this is only one possible reading, and, as stated at the beginning, a rather uncharitable one coming from an aro person who's feeling rather grumpy about, annoyed at, and tired of romance in stories. Mostly, I'm here to highlight how the season (hopefully unintentionally) pushes amatonormative ideas, and to express some of my own frustrations.

#Star Trek #PIC #Picard spoilers #Star Trek: Picard spoilers #long post #analysis #Spaceships of aces #Queer Star Trek #I did actually enjoy the season by the way - even if I've mostly been expressing criticisms #This is based on my memory of a single viewing of the show as episodes came out so it might be off #And some of the arguments presented are definitely stretches #But I do think that 'romance = happiness and belonging' is a theme present in the season #Tricorder log
