How A Gay Star Trek Writer Tricked Rick Berman
Added 2022-10-26 13:01:03 +0000 UTCStar Trek writer Andy Mangels was a fantastic interview, as he discussed the history of getting LGBTQ representation in Star Trek, and how it took the effort of a lot of people, and the tricking of one specific executive producer...

Been behind on everything due to all the Who stuff the last week or so. So chuffed Andy got a gig with Trek! I mostly know him from his work about cartoons - I have a copy of his history of Filmation that he drew a sketch in for me. He really is a sweetie and I'm glad he got one over on Rick Berman. Gonna have to watch this ASAP!

2022-10-27 01:22:00 +0000 UTCJeez, this made me cry so many times, especially at the end, when he talked about Alan Turing and his own struggles with suicidal ideation... This sort of thing always reminds me of Audre Lorde's "Litany for Surival": So it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive.
2022-10-26 17:33:29 +0000 UTCGod damn Ricks ruining everything!

2022-10-26 17:10:10 +0000 UTCI'll admit, I kinda dropped out of the Star Trek fandom, but this is from the time period from when I was still really big into it, so thank you and Andy Mangels so much for this!
