Ofcourse. Worf is gay, clearly! He's just bound by honour to have children. You know he lusts after Picard in his dreams

There are black Vulcans so I suppose there could be gay Klingons. Do gay Klingons make more fashionably dressed warriors?

It would be easier to answer this if we knew the mechanism behind homosexuality on Earth. It could be a condition unique to Earth, after all, or one that's not necessarily universal.

Ok, shock response aside, I see no reason why there wouldn't be gay Klingons (or Romulans, or Ferengi [eww!] for that matter) since the Klings are a (rather severe) modification on the human species made by those Preserver doods. I think it would be safe to say that homosexuality among Humanoid species would have similar prevalence to standard modern Mk 1 Homo sapiens. But hey you never know, what with Starfleet's extremely prevalent behavior- and gene-modification technology...

Have we actually seen any gay humans in Star Trek? Excluding aliens with a plot device to explain it? I can't remember any, but it is rather late, so I might be forgetting an example.

Good Point. That's why I said "But hey you never know, what with Starfleet's extremely prevalent behavior- and gene-modification technology..."

Preservers?

The guys who supposedly "seeded" the galaxy millions of years prior with humanoid DNA. This is supposed to be why all aliens are humanoid and are capable of procreating with one another.

I see. I figured that, but Ein's screw up had me thinking they were the aliens that kidnapped those fucking indians.

Oh, that crap.

IMO Chakotay is an insult to good upstanding Indians anyway...

Bones: "Maybe they're gay, Jim."
Kirk: "I didn't know there were gay badguys."
...
Kirk: "...Koala."
Bones: "Don't be stupid!"
Sorry, first two things that came to my mind on this topic. It's late, so I'll let you know if/when a third thing comes to my mind.

There's also the good old original ST episode in which Kirk loses his memory, uses CPR on an American Indian kid, becomes Kirok, gets married to the standard American Indian Princess character, then she's killed, Kirk gets his memory back, and Spock activates the asteroid deflection system that keeps the nasty asteroid from wiping out an ancient nature preserve maintaining stylized Native Americans in a near-natural habitat.

Yeah, I'm not much of a fan of Native American stuff, since it just bores me to tears, but I didn't like that episode because of how boring it was.

No, there has never been a homosexual character on the show. In fact there has been some pretty anti homosexual stuff on it (that episode where Crusher falls in love with the Trill that gets implanted in Riker and then in a female), and everytime the possibility of a homosexual character is broached, it gets shot down.

No, but IIRC there was going to be something in the FC script about Lt. Hawk being gay, but surprise, suprise - they cut it.
