    someone can probably make the point that lgbtq+ stuff was somehow being used as a marker for EVIL in those plotlines but evil kira is so outrageous i wouldn't be able to take it seriously. its just too funny. all the mirror universe characters are straight out of a saturday morning cartoon.

    so to bring balance to the world maybe evil garak is straight

      I know they wanted Garak and Bashir to be openly gay, and they wanted more LGBTQ stuff in the show, but they were denied by Rick Berman and some other higher ups. They could have made the evil characters super gay sarcastically, like as a subtle protest.

        Mirror Worf literally keeps Mirror Garak with him at all times with a collar on his neck, attached to a chain that Mirror Worf carries.

        You can just mentally insert the chastity cage

        Is it gay to hook up with a different species? I feel like you have to put extra work in to hook up work another species in a gay way

          It's only gay if they're the same gender (their species has to have the same genders as us otherwise the question is not applicable)

            I dunno, I have seen some videos. I feel like you can be gay with anyone regardless of gender if you do it right. Star Treck is kinda different as almost all species are canonically related.

      Might have been how they were able to get it approved tbh, then once they got the greenlight the writers and nana did this instead lol
