Secretly? I never said it was secret. Just because you don’t see them kissing or whatever on screen doesn’t mean it was secret.
Again, assuming every character is heterosexual just because you don’t see them do anything physical with someone except in a heterosexual way while the episode is being shown doesn’t mean they aren’t doing it when you don’t see them or that everyone isn’t aware of it.
For all we know, they were together for at least a year and threw a big one year anniversary party. Why just assume such a thing never happened? We don’t see what happens to anyone on any Star Trek show for more than a total of around 45 minutes at a time, sometimes spread out over weeks.
And, as I said, I know what two people being attracted to each other looks like.
I’m coming from /all with no knowledge of star trek or any of those characters. After reading the whole thing I kinda understand where this opinion was coming from, though I disagree with it.
Their intention was to say it’s homophobic to call a man gay just because of how he acts with another man. This is because homophobic people tend to call out straight folks as gay all the time just because they don’t act macho enough or some shit.
There is some truth to what they were claiming, but as I understood it the things that made you call this character gay were not his actions and mannerisms but for his apparent attraction to another character. Plus at no point you used that characterization as a negative thing.
It’s not homophobic to simply think someone might be gay. It would be if they explicitly identified themselves as straight, or if you had only homophobic reasons to think they are. This was not the case here and this person was reacting to every comment by interpreting them in the absolute worst possible way.

Im done conversing with you. Youre simply dishonest and its not worth it.
Cool. If I see you violate our civility rule with anyone else, you’ll be banned.
Ban me you fucking homophobic loser. I literally do not want to engage with such a petulant fucking child anyway.
Okay, but only because you want me to.
