Is the character gay, or the actor? Or both?
Even so, having a gay character trapped on a starship which is gone for long periods of time seems cruel and an inter-galactic felony waiting to happen.
I mean, he doesnt have the same breadth of options as everyone else. Thats gotta suck.
Granted, if no one ever brought Kirk up on charges then its conceivable that they can get away with a fair bit.
