Brannon Braga in an interview:
“It was a shame,” Braga told After Elton. “I’m talking about the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and there was a constant back and forth about well how do we portray the spectrum of sexuality. There were people who felt very strongly that we should be showing casually, you know, just two guys together in the background in Ten Forward. At the time, the decision was made not to do that and I think those same people would make a different decision now because I think, you know, that was 1989, well yeah about ’89, ’90, ’91. I have no doubt that those same creative players wouldn’t feel so hesitant to have, you know, have been squeamish about a decision like that.”
it’s okay, Brannon, the fans made up for your lack of vision with a whole slew of fabulous slash. here’s mine — Infinite Possibilities.
