I think Garak was canonically pan/omni or at least the actor playing him played him that way.
The video said that the queer coding went down as the seasons went on to downplay the flirting.
Its never stated hes "pansexual" in the show, it was behind the scenes statements made years later
Is it ever stated that Kirk is "heterosexual" in the show? I mean, i'm trying hard to find a "heterosexual" explanation to Kirk's reaction here https://youtu.be/Fw11Ak0mxyI
That scene is amazing.
It doesn't have to be stated. He pursues strictly heterosexual relationships. Most people are heterosexual.
@Maho @startrekexplained or: most bisexuals just aren’t comfortable enough around you to reveal anything to the contrary 😊
There are a lot of us and we can be very invisible when needed.
Bell curve on Kinsey scale: centers around 2.5 with exclusively hetero or homosexual people being uncommon
@startrekexplained: "Most people are straight"
A the Kinsey Scale is pseudo-science nonsense and B even if this were true, it doesnt debunk anything Ive said.
He's a spy, even if he wasn't, he probably would have slept with anything if it was in furtherance of his goals.
That is what made the acting choice so brilliant. Every interaction had this tension, charm and plausible deniability in tone. Deciding to play it similar to Gay Men trolling for other men from the 50s made this possible. It was all undertone and body language
