    The focus on drama over logic completely shallows out the allegory until it’s JUST a gay couple being contemporarily gay on screen

    Yeah. That’s my point.

    Maybe there is no allegory.

    Maybe it’s just a gay couple on screen.

    Like Nichelle as Uhura was just a black woman in an elevated position on screen.

    No message. Just simple representation.

    Why is that such a problem?

    Because if you ask people in the community, many will tell you they’re kinda sick of the gay experience only be represented in a negative light, always a struggle, always a message, as opposed to just them simply and comfortably existing.
