    DS9 had Jadzia kiss another trill whose host happened to be a woman. TOS had the first televised interracial kiss. ENT had a pregnant Trip Tucker. Trek has always been woke.

      And, of course, Discovery has Stamets and Culber, plus their adopted nonbinary child.

      I’m pretty sure Mariner’s up for anything.

        Mariner is definitely down for anything. She’s dating the andorian Jennifer in a few episodes and she also went on a date with Steve Levy the conspiracy guy. She also dated an Anabaj to annoy her mom so…yeah.

        She even says this in one episode (the Tom Paris one):

        “Oh I’m always dating bad boys, bad girls, bad gender non-binary babes, ruthless alien masterminds, and bad Bynars.”

          I like that she had to classify Bynars separately from non-binary people.

            She wants to be a throuple. No judgement here.

              She wants to be a throuple.

              Is it though? They’re Bynars so it’s linguistically complex

      First televised interracial kiss in the US. I believe there was a televised interracial kiss on UK TV a decade earlier.
