Social Equality Effort

SEEBoot!

First of all, I want to tell everyone how overwhelmed I am about the success of this movement. So far, we have garnered over five hundred signatures on our petition, and have been recognized in a national news article (read here.) I continue to have faith that if we keep believing and keep working hard, we can make a real difference!

In that vein, some of the promoting we’ve done recently has brought an issue to light. Originally, we touted Kirk/Spock as our “poster child” of sorts. In our petition, it stated that one of our goals was to see an onscreen K/S relationship. We felt we needed to aim high with a specific goal so we could have room to compromise with the studios; and, taking into account the years of K/S history, we felt they were the best choice.

However, there was a large backlash from several people who saw our movement as nothing more than a push for a ship, using LGBT rights as a veil. That worried us deeply, since the canonization of a specific ship was never our goal.

Our goal is to have an LGBT main character on the bridge of the Enterprise.

We…

1.) Want to have a main character whose sexuality is not the focus of his/her character, but just another part of them.
2.) Won’t be satisfied with a token redshirted ensign.
3.) Aim to erase the stereotype that the hero of the movie must be a heterosexual, testosterone-injected man. Can’t Kirk run a ship and like men? Can’t Sulu wield a sword and be openly out?

Of course. And proving that is what’s important to us.

For that reason, we have rebooted SEE Trek Love. We have amended our petition, removing any mention of a K/S relationship and, instead, simply asking for an LGBT main character. We are here to take a stand for social justice and equal rights.

In 1968, amid a storm of racial controversy, my father watched William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols share a kiss onscreen that made headlines. When I was young, I watched that same kiss without thinking twice.

My hope is that, in fifteen years, when my own children are young, they will watch Star Trek XII, see a romantic connection between two members of the same sex, and digest it as part of the story without a second thought.

As King George VI might say… Keep Calm and Carry On.

“Where I come from, size, shape, or color makes no difference.”
–Captain Kirk, “Plato’s Stepchildren,” Star Trek: The Original Series

Over the last week, while promoting SEE, I’ve encountered people who don’t think our efforts will pay off. The Powers That Be, they say, will never consent to put a gay couple on screen– especially main characters, for fear of losing revenue or fans.

But Star Trek has never let the fear of such consequences get in its way in the past. In a time of prejudice and intolerance, where interracial relationships had just been legalized, Star Trek pushed the envelope and scripted a kiss for Uhura and Kirk to share onscreen. During the Cold War, the Russian Pavel Chekov appeared as an officer on the bridge of America’s beloved starship.

Today’s big controversy, of course, is GLBT marriage. Star Trek has a chance to continue its legacy of strength in the face of adversity, of breaking barriers that shouldn’t exist. It’s within our grasp. It’s in our power to seize the moment and take action.

Gene Roddenberry envisioned a future full of equality and hope. Kirk’s words in the above quote say it all– his world is one free from discrimination. We deserve that future. We deserve that world. So I’m holding on to hope. We can make the change!

I’ve floated through an ocean of ship wars, naysayers, and pessimism. At times, I want to lash out at the people who attack us. I want to scream at the ones who think this is nothing more than the promotion of a ship. But then I come back here, and I read the wonderful messages of love and support on the petition, and I read the inspirational blog entries of my friends, and I know that there is hope.

I remain on my sailboat, feeling the first rays of sunshine, and reminding myself:

Keep calm and carry on.

We can make a difference. We can do this!

A Lesbian in America

Xerxies — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:24:24 +0000

Life as a lesbian in America is an adventure.

It has both positive and negative sides, like anything. On the positive side, I have a family that accepts me as who I am and friends who love me regardless of anything. I’m fairly certain I could grow a third arm and they would take it in stride, as with anything else. I also don’t have to live a lie, thanks to them, I have the strength to live my life true to who I am.

The negative of this, is that being true to myself means I garner a great deal of animosity, even hatred, just for being myself. People quite literally hate me for being. If I even mention in a conversation that I don’t have a problem with gay people, no one speaks to me for the rest of the class period or conversation, in many cases. For this reason, I wait until I know I can trust someone before I tell them I’m a lesbian in real life. For reasons of self-preservation. I’m aware that makes me a coward, but at least I can say I’m out in the most obvious way on the internet, and to my friends, new and old. I’m fighting this battle in my own way, this is the best I can manage.

Life as a lesbian in America is an adventure, because you make friends and enemies, and people are expecting you to save yourself against all odds, with little to no outside help. If you can’t, they call you weak, say you’re asking for handouts. Every gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender person in America must be their own David against a Goliath that is everywhere, and often no one is there to congratulate them when they do succeed.

Possibly the most aggravating thing about this, is that my value as a human being is judged so harshly based on a single aspect of my person. I am not only a lesbian. I am a science major with an inquisitive mind. I am a chronic insomniac who thinks homework is more important than food or sleep. I am a writer who doesn’t notice the time until it’s gone five in the morning. I am an animal lover with five cats and three birds, who also tends several flower beds. I’m an almost-18 year-old with a drive to succeed at whatever I do.

Regardless, every other attribute I may have gets ignored the instant I mention my sexual orientation, either in real life or over the internet, unless the person is open-minded. Why isn’t every person this way? This is why I support SEE. We’re not trying to make the homosexuality of Kirk and Spock an issue, but rather, make it a non-issue. Show that you can truly be a person to be admired and looked up to, regardless of your orientation. Prove that gays are people too, people like everyone else. I hope that making these two characters homosexual on-screen will be another step towards convincing people that sexual orientation is merely a difference between one person and another to be noted and accepted, the same way eye color or height is. Not something that should determine what rights a person should or should not be afforded, or how they should be treated.

Life as a lesbian in America is an adventure, and I hope that one day, I won’t see it that way. I hope that one day, life as a lesbian in America will just be…life in America.

Essay: Ramblings of a Teenage Bisexual

Title: Ramblings of a Teenage Bisexual
Author: Starlight and her Cat
Topic: SEE Trek Love; LGBT Issues
Beta: M’Lady Godvia
Word Count: 1684

Summary: “You know, we live in an interesting country. As an American citizen, I’m constantly bombarded with the notion that we live in the “greatest nation in the world.” Land of the free, home of the brave. Go USA. All of that. And for a long time, I have hated that notion because it isn’t true…”

Ramblings of a teenaged bisexual:

You know, we live in an interesting country. As an American citizen, I’m constantly bombarded with the notion that we live in the “greatest nation in the world.” Land of the free, home of the brave. Go USA. All of that. And for a long time, I have hated that notion because it isn’t true.

How can a country be known as the greatest nation in the world and a beacon of freedom if its people aren’t allowed to be free?

Let me elaborate. As you may have gathered, I’m a bisexual teenager. In fact, I live in the American Midwest. I love my home city, which is St. Louis. Now, if you’re from the St. Louis area, you’ll know what I mean when I say that the first question people get asked around here is: Where did you go to high school (We’re St. Louisans. It’s a big deal for us. Just like other cities have their Sears Towers, Times Squares, and pretzels with cheese, we have toasted ravioli, the Arch, the Cardinals, and high schools).

I go to an all-girls Catholic high school.

Can everybody see the problem, or do I need to spell it out? All-girls Catholic high school. I Iove it – I’ve made the best friends in the world there, and all of my teachers are amazing, but…it’s still an all-girls Catholic high school. All-girls, Catholic, and bisexual do not a happy combination make.

While I’ve never denied and never will deny the fact that I am bisexual, I can’t tell anyone either. I can’t be open about a part of myself. Well, I could be open about it, that’s certainly true, but I’m…not brave enough to be. Not really. At heart, I am shy and nervous and reserved and self-conscious, and the awkwardness that would ensue due to current attitudes makes it completely not worth it. It would make my classmates uncomfortable, my teachers uncomfortable, and our nuns uncomfortable (Yes, we have nuns. Laugh all you want, but they are some of the sweetest people I’ve ever met).

I can’t do that to them. I can’t put all the people around me through something that would make them at the very least shell-shocked and at the very worst deeply uncomfortable. As a result, I have to lie. Not lie to their faces, but lie by sin of omission; to me, this is just as bad as a lie. Would you be happy if someone you cared about said, “Everything’s great!” while avoiding mentioning their grandmother had just died of cancer? That’s what this feels like, this lie of omission, except I’m the liar.

I lie to my parents, to my family, and to my friends about a part of me when I should be able to trust them with all of me. Even though I know they would all be fine with it if I did tell them, the world is such that I just…can’t. I am not free to be who I am.

And what is more American than being who you are?

This May, I went to see the movie Star Trek: 2009 because I heard from a friend that it was good, and I was bored. Well, the movie was not only good. It was, to quote Christopher Eccleston’s Ninth Doctor, “Fantastic!” Having never been exposed to Star Trek before then, I walked in with no expectations and no knowledge other than, “Ok, there’s this guy Kirk and this guy Spock, and it takes place in space.” I walked out of the theater with what is sure to be an enduring love for the Star Trek fandom, and I went back to see the movie twice more and would be willing to see it again if I could find someone who hasn’t seen it! Star Trek is everything I love in a movie: action-packed with heart, hilarious without being slap-stick or entirely comedy, full of characters with the potential to grow, and built upon the heart of what will be, at the very least, an amazing friendship.

When I got home, I leapt into researching the Trek fandom in my typical manner: Wikipedia, followed by Wikiquote, then by meandering sideways into the world of the fans via forums, blogs, vids, and fanfics. This is the point when= I became aware of the Kirk/Spock pairing, and, through that, SEE Trek.

I haven’t watched the original Star Trek series, save for the episode “The Trouble with Tribbles.” I can’t make the arguments others can for the pairing itself. I can only tell you how much having sexual minorities portrayed in a movie such as Star Trek would mean to me.

It would be amazing. And it would mean far more to me than any Brokeback Mountain or Milk or even any Torchwood and Doctor Who episode. If an LGTB pairing was even hinted at in a major studio blockbuster, it would make me prouder than I have words to express. While the BBC’s Torchwood and Doctor Who portray LGTB persons in a positive light, it doesn’t make their sexuality a focus of the show. They are both British shows that don’t air on any major TV network here in the States. Brokeback Mountain was focused solely on sexuality, and Milk was about the rights struggle. Both of those things are important, but neither of them portrays LGTB sexuality the way I see it: as a part of you that is there, but does not by any means define your entire being.

To have a blockbuster movie with a main character that has an LGTB part to their character, without having it TAKE OVER their entire lives and their role in the movie, would be a huge step for people like me: people who live their lives half-in and half-out of the metaphorical closet because attitudes around them are the way they are. The closet is uncomfortable – there are clothes crowding me, a stack of old school projects threatening to topple over on my head, and no air to breathe – but the outside of the closet is as cold and stark and frightening, like a frozen desert.

It shouldn’t be that way. It shouldn’t matter in a country founded on the idea that all are created equal that I can love a member of my own sex. It shouldn’t make me strange. But it does.

And it’s horrible.

There’s very little I can do to change the attitude of the world around me because I am just one voice from the masses. If I were to take a stand, to walk out of the closet and declare to the world that, “This is who I am. Deal with it,” my voice would only be a tiny whispered breath, quickly drowned out and forgotten. I would have made being bisexual my defining characteristic, the one thing everyone saw me as, which is not want I want to do.

I am more than a single word, but people wouldn’t see that.

One day I will take that step and accept that label and all that comes with it. Not today, because I am still far too frightened of that stark, cold world, but someday I will. What I want is for those who come after me not to have to be nervous or afraid. I want the world at large to realize that sexuality is as unimportant as skin color, as gender, as eye color, as a favorite brand of toothpaste. I want the world to realize it’s just a part of me, just like being intelligent is a part of me, being cheerful is a part of me, being a good friend is a part of me.

I can’t make the world see that, not all on my own. I’m one person, and even if I stood on the top of the Arch with a bullhorn, I wouldn’t be heard. But people hear Hollywood. Hollywood can make people see. Movies and television can open our country’s and our world’s eyes. Hollywood shapes the American conscience. Hollywood pushes the envelope. Hollywood goes ahead of its time and helps create social change.

Last November, when we elected our first African-American president, it was a milestone for us. It proved that we as a nation can look beyond the color of a man’s skin and judge him solely by the “content of his character.” What I ask now is that the movie industry takes a small step forward in helping this nation realize that we also don’t have to judge a person by who they love.

There’s a moment in an episode of the television show, West Wing, when a minor character says this line: “My life does not have to be about the fact that I’m gay” (a friend has borrowed my disks and not returned them, so I can’t check this quote, but I’m almost certain it is correct). I agree with this character. My life does not have to be about the fact that I am bisexual. I would appreciate it if the rest of the world realized this, too, so I could claim that part of my character as my own without fear of reprisal. I ask from the bottom of my heart that J.J. Abrams; the Star Trek writers, producers, cast, and executives; and every other person in this country and every country hear my words and the words of other SEE Trek supporters. I don’t want you to make a movie about being gay or lesbian or bisexual or transgender. I want you to make a movie about a fantastic space adventure with a main character or characters that are homosexual, bisexual, transgender, or anything else without it being the defining feature of their lives.

If you do, I will not have the words to thank you. If you do, it will be a step forward for millions of people like me. A step towards acceptance. A step towards freedom to be ourselves.

First Post – What is SEE?, an Update and Message

Lance — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:58:11 +0000

Today is launch day. This is a big day, everybody.

I still have a LOT of work left to do, but here now is the official blog of Social Equality Effort! I am in the middle of putting the site together. In summary, I’m pulling an all-nighter.

This post is geared toward people who are just now discovering SEE, and also to provide an update to our current users. Feel free to browse the site and your leisure, but remember it is beta (more later).

For now, I’d like to send a message out to everyone, and explain a little bit of what SEE is all about.

The following is an excerpt from Time magazine. Remember this for later in this entry.

“Lawrence King, an eighth grader who identified as gay and wore makeup and nail polish, was 15 when he was declared brain dead on Feb. 13. The day before, he had been shot in the head in an Oxnard, Calif., classroom full of students. Police have charged a sweet-faced boy called Brandon McInerney, 14, with first-degree murder and with a hate crime.”

– John Cloud, Prosecuting the Gay Teen Murder, Time, Monday Feb. 18, 2008. Full article here.

The tag-line of this blog refers to, obviously, the original year the Original Series of Star Trek premiered, as well to one of my favorite phrases of all time (a motto, really) — “Keeping it classy.” It is a firm belief of mine that life is better on the classy side, and I believe Gene Roddenberry in all his luster was indeed a classy man. What made this guy so classy, besides his intellect, charm, and presence? His tolerance. This was a man who by all rights did not have to promise any gay characters to his constituency – but there he was in 1991 making such a promise to The Advocate. He openly told a group of people that he not only was going to include them in his series, but also accept them. He became more and more accepting of homosexuality in his lifetime, at a time when such attitude was not by any means the norm. He believed in and envisioned a world that was accepting of all groups of people, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, species, creed, or sexuality.

The only thing that hindered Trek from achieving this promise of gay characters was Gene Roddenberry’s death. This untimely event pushed back the social envelope that he was admirably attempting to push forward. Since his death, not a single producer or writer on Trek has included a LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender) character in a single film or episode of Trek. This was and continues to be a great mistake. Those of us at SEE are about finally seeing this promise fulfilled.

The reason we believe that Kirk and Spock would make a great pair is simple: it is simply one of the most long-lived but only subtly hinted at relationships in fiction history, only rivaled by the (non-fiction) Biblical relationship between David and Jonathan. Both of these examples are controversial; regardless of your feelings about either of them, what is not arguable is the undying friendship between two said characters. There is a bond there that cannot be broken by the strains of time and space, whether said relationships were romantic or not.

What is unique about the relationship between Kirk and Spock is the fact that their story is still being written. The new Star Trek film has garnered a substantial amount of income, press, and notoriety abroad. The film was critically acclaimed by the press, adored by the fans, and came as a surprise to many people who had never even seen a single episode or film of Star Trek. The story is so universal, and that is a testament to not only Gene Roddenberry’s original premise, but it is also a testament to the powers that be that took great care with crafting a film that was not only intended to be a Trek film, but additionally be simply a great film.

We at SEE are of the opinion that Paramount is in a position fiscally to make a risk with Star Trek, step out on a limb and make a genuine effort for social change — the kind of social change that Gene Roddenberry envisioned, and wanted, desperately. There will be some general negativity, of course, but this is to be expected. It is our opinion that returns from the LGBT community, a great majority of women (the majority of our petition signers thus far are women), and social equal-opportunists abroad will far out-way that of those blinded by intolerance. We also believe that this will be reflected positively in the majority of the media, and will draw serious positive attention from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. The relationship will additionally harbor suburb dramatic work, and heighten the sense of dramatic tension.

It is important to note that, while those of us at SEE are requesting an open relationship between the two protagonists, we are not asking for a movie solely focused on love, LGBT rights, or even sex. We are still requesting, as one supporter of SEE suggested, a “badass Star Trek film.” (Pardon the offensive language).

SEE desires to see this relationship pan out in natural time; we are not asking for anything “rushed,” or sudden. We have the utmost confidence in the storytellers that they can manage to integrate said relationship into the storytelling naturally and without grandstand. Regardless of the level to which the writers would draft the story, the story would still be a positive and powerful step forward to enhancing public opinion of LGBT persons, effectively making a strong stand for social equality.

Such a stand would reflect the statement that was made in the 1960’s, at a time when both women and civil right’s movements were strong and in full swing. Trek managed to enhance public opinion of both women and non-whites by integrating the character of Uhura into the Enterprise. In the original series, this character was a strong, confident woman who knew her place in the universe. In the new Star Trek film, this character was lessened by essentially reducing her to a love interest for the two main protagonists, primarily towards the ending of the film. This status as a “love interest” is not in standing with Roddenberry’s original vision of the function of a female character aboard the Enterprise.

Therefore, we not only ask that the relationship between Kirk and Spock not only finally be realized we also request that the character of Uhura see her full potential. We are not asking that her character be stripped of romantic entanglements, we are merely asking for them not to be the subject of her main purpose. Zoë Saldana is a more than capable actress, and giving her stronger material and purpose would not only enhance her character, but give additional class and dignity to an already deserving actress.

We ask these changes not in the name of sexual intent; we ask these changes in the name of love, and the name of equality. Equal and fair representation of love is simply, for the lack of a better term, logical. There is no logical reason why the studio should not want to oblige this request, lest the studio feel the need to maintain the current standard of non-involvement in LGBT affairs.

We at SEE believe that failure to oblige the request our organization would not only be a discipline in complacency, it would also be a discipline in disrespect; a disrespect not only to the LGBT community, but also a disrespect to Gene Roddenberry himself. Roddenberry envisioned a world where acceptance is default and love non-discriminatory. He made a promise, a promise that is yet to be appeased. This is a major studio’s opportunity to finally fulfill that promise. This is an opportunity to envision a world that believes firmly in acceptance and love. This is an opportunity to DO something. This is an opportunity to bring about major social change, and maybe even save a life.

The murder of Lawrence King, as reported above, is only one incident out of many that has occurred in the past few years. People are murdered for their sexuality regularly. Some individuals even commit suicide. Do we really wish for the current precedent of death to continually occur every year? A major step, such as SEE’s proposal, would not only encourage a positive outlook on LGBT persons, it would instill an positive outlook upon people struggling with sexuality everywhere. This outlook in turn would produce a sense of hope in the younger generation, and generations to come: the hope that all may be accepted for who they are, and they may love who they love without living under the fear of reprisal.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what I, and the members of SEE, firmly believe.

Now that I can step off my soapbox, I must remind everyone of a few details.

The website is currently beta. If you discover any problems while browsing the site, please don’t hestitate to report such at webmaster@seetreklove.com.

The forums and petition are online, and functioning. The only thing is that we have experienced some difficulty — if you still have not received your verification e-mail for either, do not hesitate to e-mail me. There was a server update last night, so at times, such processes were hindered. My sincere apologies. Also, remember to check your spam/junk folder first before you contact us.

If you are interested in writing (blogging, essay-writing, legal writing, ect), art (web design, graphic art, artwork in general, ect), translators (for any languages — we want to make this effort international), or editing/proofreading, do not hesitate to contact us. I will not guarentee we will have work for you immediately, but there will always be the potential to do something eventually!

We are so proud for all the work we are doing, and the work we are to continue to do. Thank you to all of you who have supported this movement from the beginning, and welcome to those who are just now joining in!

Do not hesitate to come join us on the forums, and if you have not already, go sign the petition! It is just waiting for your signature. The petition can be found on the “petition” link, and also at the bottom of this blog. It is hosted as a plug-in to the blog, so that’s why it is right there.

Official Petition

Lance — Sun, 12 Jul 2009 13:23:02 +0000

"In the fifth season [of Star Trek: The Next Generation] viewers will see more of shipboard life [including] gay crew members in day-to-day circumstances." - Gene Roddenberry, to The Advocate, 1991

The above quote is a promise made by the creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry, shortly before his death. This promise was never fulfilled.

We, the undersigned, request that the director, producers and writers of the new Star Trek films include a romantic relationship between main characters of the same sex in the execution of Star Trek sequels. This relationship could be formed by any number of character combinations as might develop naturally in the course of the story. Preferably, this development would occur between members of the primary cast of characters on the Enterprise.

If you, the director, producers and writers, allow such relationships to be shown as was intended for the original Star Trek productions, we believe that it would carry forward the legacy that Gene Roddenberry left to us, the fans: the legacy of a future in which all genders and races are equal and accepted. The acknowledgment of the deep love and friendship between members of the Enterprise crew in a mainstream film, regardless of gender, would encourage the abolition of prejudice and homophobia and open the door to further acceptance of all types of sexuality.

We recognize the fiscal implications of such a momentous step. However, such a relationship, if accepted in the mainstream films, will bring financial returns from Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans groups as well as Star Trek fans. The resurrection of the franchise has come at the perfect time for it to lead the way again, as it did in the 1960s, and break new ground in terms of gender and sexual equality.

Roz, California, 30, Female
As a long standing fan of Star Trek, it is my belief that a great deal of the continuing success of the show has been its ability to bring strong commentary and acceptence to issues dealing with the ideals of social equality, magnanimity, justice, truth, and the power of love over hate. In the 2009 film, we saw the destructive power of hatred and misunderstanding. As I sign this petition, I stand by the power of love that has been displayed as canon in the previous series, and ask that it not be subsumed to the power of marketing, fear of censure, or other fears that stand in the way of social justice.

K.J. Newman, Canada, 21, Female
It's high time to boldly go where Star Trek should have gone twenty years ago.

Chloe Luedtke, Mukilteo, WA, 16, Female
It's time that the obvious relationship between Kirk and Spock was officially acknowledged. Yes, it would be a risk, but so much of what the original series did was a risk. Star Trek has always been about breaking down prejudice. Homophobia is one of the most important prejudice plaguing our time. Because of the homophobia of the 60s one of the most amazing relationships ever on television or in movies never got properly explored or even admitted to. That shouldn't happen all over again.

Yes, yes and please yes. I find it ridicuous that omni-species relationships have representation in the Star Trek universe but same-sex relationships don't. Here lies a chance to reach out to a whole new demographic fan base, one that is growing bigger and bolder every day. Not to mention the already existing fans who're crying out for Star Trek to keep going boldly, not stick with the tried and true. If not now, when? I say go fo it.

Honestly, just because one is male and one is female doesn't make a relationship less "scandalous" if they are both of a different *species*. Why shouldn't homosexual relationships be represented?

To boldly go where nobody has gone before... would be awesome. Star Trek TOS, despite possible repercussions, aired the Kirk/Uhura kiss. This is the same sort of thing. This is about making the 23rd century the relative paradise of equality seen on Star Trek, for everyone, no matter sexuality or race or anything like that.

Star Trek has always been a source and support of social progress. Let us continue this legacy by expanding innovative relationships; by not only acknowledging the attraction between Kirk and Spock, but celebrating in it. This would be the ideal and honorable way to truly to pay homage to the inspirational and ground-breaking series that has captured the minds and hearts of millions. Star Trek, as it has in the past, should be a leader in breaking the social barriers, in venturing into a world that isn't stigmatized by one's sexuality, but by true acceptance of an individual as a person. Let us all live long and prosper.
As a great man once said, 'Be the change you wish to see in the world.' Star Trek can be a part of that change, should be apart of that change.

I'm sure it's already been stated in this petition that Star Trek has always been a series to push the envelope for equality. And, yes, great strides have already been made for the whole lot of us homosexuals, bisexuals, transsexuals, metrosexuals, omnisexuals, etcsexuals. But I don't believe there's been a mainstream movie to date that has homosexual characters but has not built the plot around that aspect of their lives. So, we're daring you to do that. Are you up to that challenge? Because I bet you anything Gene Roddenberry would be.

When reading the story 'Home', I found it to be more then a fan fic; 'Home' is a phenomenon, and it is more than capable of making it's self known in main stream, at best effecting the new movie, in the least, creating a great scandal! We hoppe it isn't the latter and that it will in fact, reach the big man in hollywood.

Star Trek took so many steps in new directions, why not make one that is so damn obvious for so many of us? Since Star Trek TOS the relationship between Kirk/Spock fuled the fantasies of million of fans, ending in the creation of fanfiction and slash. Now, in the new century, when homophobia is still a major problem of our society, Star Trek should continue its role as the source that goes boldly where nobody has gone before... Please!

At the moment I'm almost certain the next Star Trek productions will completely ignore the homosexual subtext of the original series, considering homophobic times we live in. However I still believe in a possibility of the new creators being brave enough to continue the legacy of Star Trek: showing equality of every race, gender and sexual orientation, portraying a world without close-minded prejudices.

Tiana Van Zandt, Stilwell, Oklahoma, 17, Female
I wish that I could write something profound to help the cause, but I can't find the words. All I can say is that the Spock/Kirk romance was epic, legendary, intense, wonderful, and "made of awesome", as the saying goes. I would be a very happy fan if it could happen again in nuTrek. Besides, if omni-species relationships can be seen and everything, then why not same-sex relationships, too? It's only...Logical. (Smiles)

Uhura finally got her first name acknowledged in official canon; now it's time for Kirk/Spock to be acknowledged. It's past time that Star Trek officially identify character(s) as something other than heterosexual. Kirk and Spock, the first couple of slash fanfiction, deserve that honor. It doesn't have to be over-the-top. Mulder and Scully danced around each other for YEARS before their relationship became so obviously canon that the NoRomos could no longer deny it. It's all in the details: a look, a touch, a comment. Just, please, at least give us SOMETHING...

Aside from being the first slash pairing, Captain Kirk and Mister Spock's strong friendship can be felt in most any episode of the original series. The frequent touches and glances between them that hint at something deeper in their relationship were imperative to many moments of tension in a crises and hilarity and witty banter with the ease of their friendship. The loss of this momentous connection between the characters would be extremely detrimental to the success of the reboot verse. Please hear our plea.

This would mean so much to so many people. Star Trek has almost gone backwards in terms of relationships in this new movie.

Let's boldly go where no man's gone before.

Ellen, Fort Worth, TX, 22, Female
It really is time for Star Trek to embrace this romance. Star Trek always tries to be ahead of its time (and not only in the technology department). The writers should fulfill Roddenberry's promise with the next movie (or TV series spin off, I'm not picky).

<< We [the interveiwers] tell Gene [Roddenberry] something of our recent interveiw with Bill [Shatner] and Leonard [Nimoy] - touching on the Kirk-Spock relationship, and Nimoy's feeling that Kirk was essential to Spock's life:

"I know you've told us you designed that relationship as 'Two halves which come together to make a whole'. Is that how you still see it?"

[Roddenberry]: "Oh yes. As I've said, I definitely designed it as a love relationship. I think that's what we're all about - love, the effort to reach out to each other. I think that's a lovely thing. Also, dramatically, I designed Kirk and Spock to complete each other - and in fact, the Kirk, Spock McCoy triad to be the dramatic embodiment of the parts of one person: logic, emotion, and the balance between them. You cannot have an internal monolog on the screen, so that is a way of personifying it, getting it out where it can be seen - that internal debate which we all have within. AND I designed Kirk and Spock, as I told you, as dream images of myself, the two halves. But in terms of the characters, yes. That closeness... absolutely."

There is also this:

"There's a great deal of writing in the Star Trek movement which compares the relationship between Alexander and Hephaistion* to the relationship between Kirk and Spock - focusing on the closeness of the friendship, the feeling that they would die for one another..."

[Roddenberry]: "Yes, there's certainly some of that - certainly with love overtones. Deep love. The only difference being, the Greek ideal - we never suggested in the series - physical love between the two. But it's the - we certainly had the feeling that the affection was sufficient for that, if that were the particular style of the 23rd century."

Star Trek The Original Series gave the world many firsts; the first interracial kiss, women in service, and the most important, slash. Yes, it was bored housewives in the 70's watching Star Trek in syndication that finally decided to make something of the obvious love between Kirk and Spock. We owe them a great deal, but it was really Roddenberry's great ideals that made it all possible. I think it's about time that we respect Roddenberry's wish and fulfill his promise to his fans.

Here and now, in 2009, In my state, I can marry my girlfriend if I so desire and be open and proud of who I am and who I love. It is a small step, with so few states and countries acknowledging such a basic human right, but considering the fact that there were still anti-sodomy laws in several states until 2003 (NH's sodomy laws were repealed in 1975), I think that is a mighty bit of progress in a short period of time. One would hope that by the 23rd century we would not have moved backwards in such arenas, particularly in a world that has to deal with alien species and they're practises and morals.
T'hy'la gets thrown about a lot in fandom and fanfiction, but just because it has become widely used in those settings does not make it any less beautiful of a concept. Friend-brother-lover, not used lightly and so much deeper than can really be expressed in some ways, it is the embodiment of the characters Gene Roddenberry created in Kirk and Spock; had it not been the 1960's when they came into being, I fully believe that the romance between them would have been more overt.
I'm being rather verbose, so -

tl;dr - this gay female wants to see a realistic and bold gay relationship on screen between soul-mates.

It's there, just nobody ever thought to expand on it and in the sequels you should really be able to see that come in to play. Even though it wasn't in TOS or the movies nuTrek is diffrent, hence the alternate reality or timeline so it is definatly an option. One I hope is chosen. Spock and Kirk fan forver!

This franchise has always been about testing boundaries. Suggestions have been made for decades about a possible relationship. Consider a deep emotional bond, possibly surpassing that between Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner's versions of the characters. It is logical for the characters to be fully explored to understand their potential. It was begun in the original series. It is time to complete the process. Boldly go where no one has had the courage before.

It's about blasting down the barrier. Homophobia is something that isn't touched upon in the major media, and is something that can do a lot for a series if a 'gay couple' is included, or even a character who demonstrates bisexuality, homosexuality, or a transexual. I think it's about time that Hollywood got on the bandwagon and joined those of us who are willing to lend a hand to creating a better future.

Star Trek has been an example of what we can strive for, why not show that we are capable of creating a better future for everyone? Let's see a little more of the K/S love that's been around for a very long time.

Star Trek has always meant something beyond a starship traveling through space. It has always been a message of hope, and a powerful one at that. Roddenberry's vision gave everyone a hope that the future would hold a greater place of dignity and respect for them. So far, this gift of hope has been promised and then denied the GLBT community. If the message of Star Trek is truly to be resurrected for another generation in these films, then this is where that message should begin.

I couldn't agree any more. This HAS to happen, and if it doesn't - it's a sign of how our society is blind and prejudiced against the most amazing type of love that ever existed. Kirk and Spock's love needs to be acknowledgd. Not buried in some invented, half hearted love triangle with Uhura.

We need to SEE!

Homophobia is the only civil rights issue the Star Trek series have never addressed. ANY acknowledgment at all that gay people exist in the future, and are accepted as would be logical for a ethical organization such as star-fleet would be much more realistic to the nature of the show, and the creators vision, as well as continuing Star Trek's reputation as a trailblazer for civil rights issues, and taking on controversial issues without fear.

Now's a perfect time to support relationships of all kinds, and who better to represent the LGBT side than Kirk and Spock? Their deep bond with each other has been acknowledged for decades. I will be only one of many to be happy when a romantic relationship (not even necessarily sexual) is acknowledged between the two in the newer movies. Some people may find that foolish and scorn this sentiment, but Kirk/Spock has inspired many people with its long-standing loyalty and affection, despite consisting of merely fictional characters.

Ursula \"Cat\", Baltimore, MD, USA, 15, Female
I haven't even looked at half of the comments and the all of what I wanted to say has been said. Just to recap, this show "boldly goes where no man has gone before" and should follow that tradition, as on-show interracial relationships were ground-breaking then, homosexual relationships are ground-breaking now, and they should take that next step; this step would definitely draw in more fans and strengthen more fanships than scare away existing and potential fans; Kirk/Spock forever; and I think that is it.

I promised myself I wouldn't repeat all the truth stated in these comments, but here's my two cents. Star Trek not only pioneered SLASH, but it broke down many of the social barriers of the 60s, and made an honest effort to impact society. Gene Roddenberry was a genius, and his show is legend.

Star Trek is still a power house today, and still has what it takes to make an impact, to inspire people to try to make a difference. Bringing some light onto the long hidden love between James T. Kirk and Spock by openly exposing the problem that is homophobia would only continue to show Star Trek for what it is: A show/movie that is about trying to make a difference, going without fear into the unknown, and doing what is right, no matter how hard it may be at the time.

Though I agree that we will never see Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto kiss on screen, at least give some long over due acknowledgement to the obvious love and connection between Kirk and Spock. It doesn't matter how, just that it is done, and that the show which broke down walls in the 60s continues to do so now, when we as a society obviously need the help. I personally am a fan of nuTrek Spirk, but TOS will always come first. In my opinion, 'Thy'la' was created for a reason, people. Figure it out.

To put it bluntly, I say screw the church, politicians, air headed beauty pagent winners, and any bigots that say what Kirk and Spock portray is wrong. What they portray is love, in any form you wish to perceive it. Familial, platonic, or romantic, take your pick. I was always taught that love, in any form, is never wrong. Illogical, in the words of everyone's favorite Vulcan? Sure, undoubtably. What human emotion isn't? But wrong? Think of the messages Star Trek put through in their shows, think how many lives and opinions the show changed for the better. Does that seem wrong to you?

I completely support this petition. There is nothing wrong with love, whether it be between a man and a woman, or a captain and his Vulcan. So go for it! Keep Gene's vision of a more open and accepting Star Trek alive! It had the first interracial kiss, so why not take this next step?

I want to live in a world where it is not crazy and I am not an obsessed fan for wanting to see a romantic relationship between Kirk and Spock as text and not subtext. Gay or bisexual people are real and not subtext.
The more I think about TOS and the movies about the TOS crew, the more I see Kirk's and Spock's relationship as a romantic one, shown in the the only way it wa possible at the time.
The more I hear about background information and interviews and other various sources the more I think that this has to be true.
Even if it was't true then, or at least not the only truth that was applied, I still think that in the world we live in today it should be possible to be true.

I want to live in a world where if it is plausible to see romantic interest between Spock and Uhura in the original source, it is possible to recognize that there are so many more indications for the same between Kirk and Spock.

We are not crazy. We created this petition because we believe in our cause, but also because we believe that the spirit of Star Trek is to "go where no one has gone before" to show us what a beter future is like and that it IS possible. To take the risk and to "jump without looking", exept we're looking to you, to make that dream a reality.
Thanks

I ask that you please follow the intentions of G.R., in showing that the future, real or not, will be a place of equality and hope. That people will be able to live their lives to the fullest possible happiness, without fear. By showing a love that according to G.R. was one of the purist and most enduring, it sends a message that there is hope for every person regardless of race, religon, gender or sexuality.

Look, there's a reason you had to make the first film about the evolution of Kirk and Spock's relationship; it would have had none of the credibility and significantly less impact than what was actually achieved. Their relationship is integral to the fabric of this series. Others have suggested that you at least have some portrayal of GLBTs, but I have no interest in anyone but Kirk and Spock being acknowledged in this way. I'm not interested in tokenism, as that is a violation of what Star Trek is meant to stand for. It would also be a slap in the face to all of those who wholeheartedly believe in the subtext of the original series, to explicitly state the same-sex preference of a more minor character or characters and still keep Kirk/Spock subtextual. However, it would also be cowardly to not include a portrayal of homosexuality in the Trek franchise when this barrier probably should have been broken a long time ago. So I truly believe making Kirk and Spock's relationship, specifically, more than subtextual is the most effective, most honest and most admirable way to go about it. The reason people have no confidence that Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto would ever share a kiss on-screen is because of precedent and conservative studios, two things Star Trek has never let stand in its way.

I recently read an analysis of Star Trek: the Original Series discussing the underlying messages present in each episode. There were some important and groundbreaking ideas as far as the '60s were concerned and I think that should continue. Hating people on the basis of race, gender, religion OR sexuality is reprehensible. If a mainstream change like this petition is proposing could encourage equality all around the board, then we should pursue it.

I highly agree with this. Star Trek should boldly go where the show hasn't yet, and that is in the direction of Jim and Spock's untold of relationship. We should honor Gene Roddenberry and live up to his promise of having gay relationships in Star Trek. Also, Kirk/Spock basically created slash. The director, producers, and writers of the new movies should shout that out to the world. K/S even has a page on Wikipedia, and there is a comment on that page from Roddenberry about Kirk and Spock's friendship and possible live. I hope the new movies live up to Star Trek's dream of equality.

Star Trek has long been an influential series that reaches many different people of varying backgrounds, ethnicity, and beliefs. Even if Kirk and Spock were not the characters used for this, I believe not only would a well-represented gay couple be well received, but would also serve as a reminder that homosexuality has little impact on the validity of a character.

As pretty as the new film was, and despite the great performances of all the actors it did not have the substance of the previous films and original series. Say what you want about the special effects or its fanatic followers, the original series broke ground on the social/political scene through entertainment. Don't let the continuation of this series become another generic, non-offensive action movie. Try to follow Gene Roddenberry's legacy and show us some gay love that isn't a tragic psa warning against it.
(Besides, it's just a little fan service, where's the harm in pleasing the fans?)

It may not be a first gay couple in the movies/ on TV but acknowledging the famed fandom of Spock/Kirk or Kirk/Spock would definitely be another Star Trek heads up to TRUE social equality. TOS brought up inter-racial relationships when that sort of thing was frowned upon - especially on TV - and now we have gay and lesbian rights to think about and maybe this would raise awareness.

Pushing the envelope is a time honored tradition and the very spirit of science fiction. Through Star Trek and others of that genre generations have been inspired to change the world. Fans have been moved to initiate self reflection and social awareness, and I can think of no other topic more important in modern society than that of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transsexual rights. Depicting the romantic relationship between Kirk and Spock could very well be the first step to the future Gene Roddenberry envisioned. Star Trek has always stood for truth, acceptance, justice, equality, and, above all, love. Please continue that legacy.

I do not see why now, after we have nearly tackled the prejudice of homosexuality, now that it is in music, books, and movies, why can't we have what we were promised more than a decade ago? I would like to see some Kirk/Spock love, but if that isn't possible, just placing this in another series would satisfy. Its time stop dancing around the topic. We the fans, want what we were promised.

Star Trek took a bold step breaking the race barrier with the first interracial kiss on television.

This is the most legitimate gay pairing in the history of television. Even their creator thought so. It's time to bring them out of the closet.

The Star Trek franchise has always been about breaking new grounds - technologically, socially and otherwise. It would be wonderful to see this idea expanded upon in the new Trek, especially between such iconic and dynamic characters with such a long-standing history connecting them.

When it comes to things like fan-based relationships, I try to keep in mind what the original creators would have wanted for their characters.

Having said that, Roddenberry made it pretty clear that Kirk and Spock were meant to be together in any and every way that they possibly could be, and he's the authority. Now that the times are changing, it's high time Kirk and Spock were given the chance to be public about it, isn't it?

Kelsey Lucas, Oregon, 19, Female
If the relationship between Kirk, and Spock is represented, and treated as a non-issue in the future movies, that would do so much to influence the views of people on LGBTQ people. While there has been more representation recently of LBBTQ people, we have always been portrayed as an oddity, angst-ing over out unnaturalness, or else as comic relief. If you were to show two men who love each other, with no angst, no social stigma-- if they were portrayed as being normal--, how ground-breaking that would be! Star Trek is a franchise that has always inspired change, and pushed the boundaries of its time. And today, we need those boundaries pushed, and expanded again. We need someone willing to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Star Trek has always been a series that was not afraid to step out of our cultures comfort zone and, I quote, "to boldly go where no one has gone before." Seeing as the issue of gay rights and representation is a current event, I fully believe that the director, writers, producers, etc should at least give some consideration to the matter. It would only be logical to do so, borrowing the Vulcan ideal. I fully hope that those reading this petition will be able to take the next step in Star Trek's evolution not only for the fans but for the memory of the great Gene Roddenberry.

Star Trek has always been about breaking new ground, both as a theme for the show and how the show viewed social issues. It seems only logical that in order to truly continue with the spirit of Star Trek, it must continue to do so. Otherwise it's just a sci-fi action movie with a nostalgia trip. Please don't stray from the ideals of Gene Roddenberry and star trek, the world needs this right now and so does Star Trek.

Mr. Roddenberry himself implied that there was enough affection between Kirk and Spock for their relationship to be a physical one if that was something that was done in the 23rd century. Seriously people, we need to do away with discrimination, love is love, and should be portrayed as such.

It's about time the movie industry explores a gay or lesbian relationship between main characters. It would be nice to see such a relationship occur in a movie where the main focus is NOT on the relationship; where that relationship is just a natural progression of the plot and it's characters. Any example of this would be fantastic (and deeply appreciated, I assure you), but Gene Roddenberry himself said Kirk and Spock loved each other enough that a romantic relationship was not unthinkable, it just wasn't the time. I think the time is now; if not now, then when? Star Trek has always had a strong stance on equality before, and I think it's time you take that stance again.

The entire point of Star Trek was to explore the variations and differences between people and to show that even people of different races, species, sexualities, and cultural backgrounds could be united into one force. The creators of the original series did not shy away from Spock and Kirk's relationship, nor did they bend to the heteronormative views of their generation. I say that we follow in their footsteps and "boldly go where" other producers and writers have not dared. Spock and Kirk have always shared a special bond in the show. They are T'hy'la (friends, brothers,lovers) despite their different backgrounds and species. I suggest that we honor that bond and give their relationship the screen time it deserves in the next movie.

Two of the key elements of the original Star Trek were breaking social boundaries while opening the viewer's mind to tolerance/understanding, and the strong friendship, loyalty, and love between Kirk and Spock. That was the whole message of the third Trek film.

I wouldn't have signed this petition if I thought it was all about fans demanding for the main characters to become a couple; and while I'm sure the Kirk and Spock dynamic will be touched upon, all I ask is that it not be condensed to a good partnership/friendship because it was so much more than that. They are two parts to one soul, that cannot exist without the other.

To boldly go...you know the phrase. Star Trek is not the series to sit back and do what's "normal" or readily accepted by society. As much as I loved the latest film, the next film should really push the envelope, just like TOS did in the 60s. Star Trek has always been a brave series like that...every move was unique, new, and daring. Keep that trend going, and give us the Kirk and Spock that we all know exists!

Star Trek was from the start about breaking taboos - from a woman as 2IC to a black person being a valued member of the crew, and treated with the respect and dignity afforded to any other person. That there has been no LGBT character in Trek, apart from the two lesbian kisses in DS9 (which were rather added as titillation), is astounding. However, I would like to add that it should not be a big deal. If a character is LGBT, it should be considered normal and unremarkable by the crew - this was what made the barrier breaking of TOS profound. It wasn't just that there was a black woman on the bridge, it was that there was a black woman on the bridge, and nobody considered it to be remarkable. That is how it should be if there were to be an LGBT character in a forthcoming Trek movie/series - there, but not made a fuss about.

That is the way prejudices are broken - by people just seeing it as normal.

Lindy, Ohio, 21, Female
To see Kirk/Spock relationship brought to future movies that could be made is really the only way to go. Their bond was so strong that even in a time of prejudice people could see the signs of a relationship between the two.

The Hollywood industry needs to realize this and give the audience what it wants, deserves and to help Gene Roddenberry's original ideas be brought to fruition. This is an era that is right on the edge of LGBT finally being excepted in regular society and media. To see the first real slash pairing brought to us now would be a huge step.

And I think the actors need to be given a little more credit too. More films have been coming out with actors and actresses, both small and big time, that have been taking on roles with canon and subtext slashing. These series have also been shown to be more popular to the audience.

While I do not know as that much about Chris Pine, I don't think Zachary Quintos would really put in a fight towards this. He has been in clips where he portrayed a bisexual, as well as have engaged in a kiss with another man. While these were done with a bit of humor, he still did them. Also in early interviews of Heroes, he has mentioned several times his liking of Sylinder. This is the term referred to the pairing of his character and that of another male on the show.

So I think we need to give the actors a little more credit. I wish the best of luck to this petition and hope to see that even if if has no effect, they will realize how strong the movement of acceptance is coming.

From the start of its run, Star Trek has lead the way in ideas of acceptance and equality. In the 60s Star Trek broke barriers using media. Let's help keep Gene Roddenberry's goals and dreams alive, and make a difference for people of all sexual orientations.

Erin Newman-Renwick, Canada, 24, Female
In a perfect world Kirk and Spock could have been written as a couple from the get-go in the 60's. And who knows? Perhaps, had the social climate in North America in the decade been different, they might have been. Roddenberry himself certainly suggested it wasn't impossible or unlikely.

Kathryn Newman-Renwick, Canada, 22, Male
In future space, how do we expect that this kind of love hasn't evolved into an everyday thing? Lets take a step into showing the world how much love you can have out there in space. It's been more than hinted at that Kirk and Spock have a deep connection with each other. Let it blossom on screen!

Evie, Vancouver, Canada, 30, Female
Trek has already tackled so many social taboos. Is there any franchise more appropriate to bring a positive gay hero or couple to the screen than this one? Carry on with Roddenberry's progressive vision for the future, and make this a reality. It's time.

As a proud, self-identified lesbian and a proud, self-identified geek, I have a great love and respect for Star Trek and what it has given to these past few generations- and is still giving- in terms of a vision of a future of acceptance, where honor, love and unity will eventually defeat cruelty, hate, and selfishness. It gave us heroes to believe in, role models to strive to emulate. It gave us women with brains and heart during a time when Feminism had barely begun being talked about. It gave us racial acceptance, with the first interracial kiss on US television, not to mention having a main character who represented the blending of two separate races, and constantly dealt with this issue of identity. Now, it is time for Star Trek to step up to the plate and continue its history of portraying for us that golden future; to ask the tough questions and to not shrink back from the issues at hand. The fans are true, and the recent revival should tell you just how much the public's hearts and minds still resonate with the nostalgia of that future. We need it; we need the future now, and I come here on behalf of both the fans who believe in what Star Trek stood for and as an active soldier fighting for the future of my brothers, sisters, friends, lovers, parents, and children who every day look for their own Kirk or Spock or Uhura to look up to, and see none.

Do what you know is right. Be pioneers not of space but of social change. Go where none have gone before. Many are looking to you to once again be the the standard-bearer for the future.

Kirk out.

Since there is so much homophobia in the world I think maybe it's time to do a same-sex kiss. The on-screen kiss with Kirk in Uhura in Star Trek TOS made everyone smarten up and stop being so racist. I think maybe an onscreen same sex kiss will do the same effect and finally homosexual people will finally get their rights as well as black people finally did.

Show the LOVE! I hope that they will continue the love between Spock and Kirk, for without it, Star Trek has no meaning.
Please hear our Plea and break up Uhura and Spock, and put Spock and Kirk together, for they are the true lovers, and nothing can end their love.
So stop looking up the wrong whole, and take a look at your heart, it's located below your brain, and head. (If you are Vulcan, it is located under your right arm, to the side of a human heart).
Thank you!

Hollywood has still never had a gay action hero or prominent gay love story with a happy ending. How can the studios, with any honesty, portray a future in which humans have finally dealt and gotten rid of racism, sexism, and homophobia if queer characters are kept invisible? Do what's right, and show us what should have been there all along.

Dawn S., Houston, 33, Female
Star Trek, from its conception, has broken racial and gender barriers in our society. I would like to see it continue this tradition by supporting sexual equality in upcoming movies or tv series. In addition, I feel like the Kirk/Spock relationship was a metaphor for the GLBT couples in the sixties and seventies. Like the K/S relationship, they had to hide their sexuality to maintain social acceptance. You have a unique opportunity to help the GLBT community gain mainstream acceptance by showcasing a passionate and healthy homosexual relationship in upcoming movies. Also, older conservatives who might decide not to see the movie based upon such content would most likely not see the movie anyway. Teenagers and young adults make up the large majority of moviegoers, and what is more enticing to teenagers and young adults that something new and slightly scandalous. The more people talk about the movies, the more people will be curious and want to watch them.

Star Trek has been making a stand for equality since it began. They had the first interracial kiss on television. They frequently have members of different SPECIES together (the most obvious example being Spock, the child of a human and a Vulcan). Why NOT have same-sex couples?

We need to start dealing with today's issues. Star Trek took issues in the sixties, like the cold war(putting a ruskie on board), and the first interracial kiss. Bring on a gay character, and for gods sake, don't put him/her in the woodwork, let people actually see them.

Please, Do. It's... worth it, on more levels than one, to Support any bridge pairing (especially KirkSpock, which would trasnscend both gender and species) in a way that is open and obvious to everyone. It's nothing to be ashamed of; and let's face it, most people already suspect something in TOS.

This would be amazing! As a supporter of the LGBT, I support this with every fibre of my being. The 'New Star Trek' should continue on the legacy of what was meant to be in 'The Original Series' Star Trek (im sure that everyone has noticed the subtle and not-so-subtle sub-text during the show. Need I bring up the 'Shore Leave' episodes 'Back Rub' scene?)

Even though I am of the younger audience (I have been in love with Star Trek since I was ten and watched 'Search for Spock'. After watching most of the episodes, that the ship is SUPER important, yet Kirk sacrifices it to save Spock. NOTE THIS DECISION! >:O There must have been SOMETHING brewing if Jim sacrificed his ship!), I believe they should go with Roddenberry's original Idea

It's time to BOLDLY go where man SHOULD have gone before!

xxxxxxxx, Melbourne, Australia, 15, Male
I don't understand how anyone could have the RIGHT to carry on Gene Roddenberry's legacy, when they completely turn a blind eye to his wishes.
He has created Kirk and Spock originally to be a same-gender couple (if you can do an interracial kiss and different-SPECIES couples, why not same-sex relationships?)

I have been in love with TOS's Star Trek Kirk-Spock relationship, and even more so since I have read this Analyzation of the TOS series episodes and Kirk/Spocks characters/realtionship : http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5105759/1/AnalyzationCommentary_of_TOS_for_KS

An Analyzation made by an ACTRESS and a WRITER! She has analyzed everything to the smallest details, and her fans have to! For all of you homophobic's in the world, how can you be okay with interracial couples, if not with inter-gender? How can you deny the love between to people, even if they are same-sex? Kirk and Spock had to hide their 'blossoming relationship', because this inspirational show would have been cancelled within three days of its airing if they didn't

Roddenberry knew that, in the 60's, you could only push to far before something breaks. Back then, and even NOW, will same-sex couples go to far for people around the world. But for everyone out there, how can you not realize that people all over the world have signed this petition?

Star Trek has always provided a keen and biting social commentary and a platform to express new ideas, which then frequently become mainstream. TOS was famous for featuring the first on-screen mixed-race kiss, involving the characters Kirk and Uhura.
I firmly believe that in the future love between two individuals will be regarded as a wonderous thing, regardless of race, creed or sex. The first two have been championed, but the last is still largely taboo. I believe that Star Trek would be an ideal platform to explore that concept, and to help people accept it. Let us once again boldly go.

Gene was fully supportive of gay relationships and gay rights, so I see no reason why there should not be acknowledgment of it in the new movies. I fully support this.

Christine, Michigan, 15, Female
Kirk/Spock was what Star Trek was made for. There's a reason it was the first slash pairing. At least people did begin to realize all of the subtext led to the realization that they are, in fact, a true relationship. There is so much evidence to support this pairing, and yet people stil ldeny it, simply because they don't want to consider their heroes as 'faggots.' It is truly horrific that we have yet to find a time in which all love is accepted. It's... disgusting... that people are still homophobic, when so much larger issues are going on in the world.

This project, if it does succeed, can very much so help change the minds of people everywhere. Long time fans may scorn it, the box office number may not be as big, but it will get. The message. Through. If people want to continue to be ignorant, that's too bad, but at least you would be shoving it in their face to where they could not ignore it. SEE is a fantastic idea and I completely and utterly support it.

Star Trek is not about pushing boundaries, but for inspiration and providing hope for a future where all sexes, races and social classes will live together as one people, united without prejudice. And despite this, there's been little to no recognition of homosexuals in all the Trek series' and movies. I would love for this to change, for Star Trek to help pave the road for equality once again, especially since homosexuality still is a social issue, which it never should've been in the first place. May Roddenberry rest in peace, and his ideals and dreams live on!

Star Trek is about the future; a positive outlook on the fate of humanity.

I heartily agree with everything that this site is promoting, and I would love to see how the movie studios would go about bringing together same-gender couples (if they concede to the petition) in their newer Star Trek films. To be honest, I wouldn't mind watching Kirk and Spock together up on the big screen, and I don't think others would mind it either. We're a growing world, and, with the usual exceptions, I believe we are coming into a new age of acceptance when it comes to who we love, and that just makes me smile, if nothing else will.

The original Star Trek was at the forefront of social equality in the 60's. It's time that those in charge of the franchise remember Gene Roddenberry's vision of a unified, accepting future and update it for today's social issues.

Since Star Trek always went against social norms, this really shouldn't be a problem to do this . . . especially since its already been done and its getting a little more widely accepted, instead of a 'OMG! what is this?!! I never seen this before?!! Two guys (or girls) together?!! I didn't even know that existed!!! OMG!!!' reaction. Maybe I am naive, but I doubt people will immediately cast stones at Star Trek by showing such things on TV, since you know its already been done . . .

It doesn't need to be a "focus"--just the fact that "Oh, hey, these two are actually a couple, and nobody blinks because it's accepted in this century." Just as Bill Cosby was able to show that middle-class African-American families who love each other still exist and are awesome back in the 80s, I believe you as writers and producers have the same opportunity to give LGBTQ life a nod and show it wouldn't be universe-shattering, just another part of everyday life.

This is a no brainer, Star Trek is constantly bombarding watchers with moral lessons and concepts, just because its a sensitive issue (not really, if you look hard enough) in this country doesnt mean you should just leave out this bit about the two main characters. I want Kirk/Spock. its part of the Story. Gene Roddenberry himself said so, several times! this is like piracy, they just have to do SOMETHING.

Star Trek, especially the Original Series, is full of people who represent specific cultures or genders or whatever. They're steroyotypes, but only because they were subtly (or not-so subtly) trying to send the message of equality and necessity. In the 60's, it was more focused one women and African Americans but in this age, when homosexuality is such a huge topic, it only makes sense that we be represented in a show that has been a forerunner for promoting equal rights for as long as Star Trek has. I say good luck to this petition and I support it wholeheartedly and look forward to the day when I can watch my favorite show and see Gene Roddenberry's wish finally come true.

This could really be revolutionary. It could be the beginning of equality for people of all sexual orientations! In the end it's up to you, but in the future, and ideal future where people who are Gay Lesbian, Bi- or transexual will be accepted, you could be known as pioneers of that future. Please.

It was clearly Gene Roddenberry's intention to challenge social prejudices. The original series would have been cancelled but for a fan petition, and it went on to become a franchise that has made you good money for over 40 years. Star Trek has examined race, gender equality, politics, religion. Sexual orientation is conspicuous in its absence and it's hurting the brand. Trust the fans again on this, and your franchise will be profitable for another 40 years.

the new Star Trek movie is a rethinking of the original, with a younger cast. the libral thinking youth of toady want this, want to see acceptence of LGBTs and the breaking down of old barriers. please pull through for the openmided adults who follow Trek and all the new fans to be gained. Star Trek has always been forward thinking, best not to let it get behind the current times by side-stepping what so many of this generation have come to already accept

Elizabeth, Ontario, Canada, 19, Female
Gene Roddenbery himself said that the love between Kirk and Spock was sufficient for a physical relationship, and that he 'definitely designed it as a love relationship'. Homophobia is still one of the strongest prejudices plaguing the world, and carrying Gene's dream forward would be revolutionary.

It's canon! Love is love! I have been of the opinion that K/S is destiny and would have been shown if not for the social constraints of the time of TOS. Do not deny the truth of life or the charas Mr. Roddenberry created.

Hate based on a person's sexuality is highly illogical. A franchise as iconic and famous such as Star Trek representing the LGBT community with LGBT characters would not only be a momentous step towards equality for all, but would also bring in a new group of well-paying fans. The future is supposed to be a bright, inspiring place- it's time to represent full equality there, so that it may soon become a reality. Star Trek has changed the world- it's time to add another accomplishment to it's long-list of contributions, and realize Gene Roddenberry's promise.

Admittedly, I haven't been a Star Trek fan very long. However, when I watched The Original Series, I was shocked at the social norms the show fought against and how they broke so many boundaries. I was amazed some of those episodes were even aired in the 1960's. To discover that the franchise hasn't done anything to address the issue of homophobia is a shock, as well as a let-down. At this point in time, I think it is more important than ever that Star Trek once again pushes the boundaries of societal prejudice and addresses the issue of homophobia in the mainstream media.

Star Trek was a pioneer in media recognition of ethnic diversity, gender equality, and other pressing social issues of its day. These issues, while still existent, are nowhere near as urgent as they were in the 1960s. Take a real stand. I, along with many others, would be happy to see any homosexual relationships in a Star Trek movie. But I also think that Gene Roddenberry would take this chance to explore the love between Kirk and Spock- a relationship he obviously thought of in the '60s but couldn't air on television. I believe the world is ready now for Kirk and Spock to come out. Honor the memory of Gene Roddenberry and make Star Trek important again.

The gay subtext in the original series gave birth to the world of homosexual romantic literature. By the time Star Trek becomes a reality, I fully hope humanity will have grown up. But that's not going to happen unless we give it a kick in the pants. If we refrained from undertaking a noble cause just because it made some people uncomfortable, we'd still be in the Dark Ages.

Gene Roddenberry was a wonderful, intelligent man that was wiser than his time. He did things to shake up the film industry no one dared to back in his day; having a woman that was black on the bridge, a Russian around the Cold War era, and an Asian after Vietnam. He did his best to break prejudices and I believe he'd appreciate it if we continued to do so in his honor. I know that may seem a little melodramatic, but I deeply respect Gene Roddenberry for everything he has contributed to pop culture, and everything that he would have if he'd been allowed. Way back at the start when he was pitching Star Trek to the TV producers, he wanted there to be a female second in command. They told him people weren't ready for it. True, I'm not really complaining, because I adore Spock, and the show never would have been the same without him, but that is not the point. The point is that he truly went boldly where no man had gone before, and I think it only right to carry on that tradition.

Breanna, Arizona, 24, Female
What amazes me is that the franchise/series have made it known on countless occasions that the future is beyond any form of bigotry, prejudice and inequality. No matter who you are, where you come from, the color of your skin or your choice of beliefs, you were accepted and hatred related to things such as racism was a thing of the past. And while I do believe that in the universes of this series, there are homosexuals, they've never been brought to light to be seen by the general public as -regular people-. Why has there not been at least one regular character who identifies with a different lifestyle? While I think their sexuality should not render them as "special," as they are just like all people, straight or otherwise, I think it would be nice if they were brought forward not as gay people, but people who happen to be gay and can do just the same as any straight man or woman. I recognize myself as heterosexual, and have met some very delightful LGBT people. Ultimately, what matters is the character, not what they identify themselves as, but it'd be nice to see that they're like any other person, doing things everybody does and not some strange, well, alien concept we dance around. There's only so many forms of media, movies and shows, that handle gay characters as plots-of-the-week, showing them in a tragic light by having them live miserably, abused, or suffering from HIV/AIDS or in a comedic light, where they're stereotyped to Hell. Star Trek, why don't you present a GLBT character who is not a oneshot story, a creature to be pitied or a walking stereotype, and show the world a gay man, woman or transgender/sexual can be a regular human.

Inclusion of a same-sex relationship in the next Star Trek movie would be nothing but true to the spirit of Star Trek, especially considering the original series of the sixties. In its time, that series was nigh on revolutionary in its ideas. It was a groundbreaker for popularizing many new concepts and ideas among the general public. The "spectacle" of Star Trek XI was magnificent in its own right, and incredibly enjoyable and well-done. However, it's important to remember that the original series became one of the most popular and loved shows of its kind not through its special effects, but through its ideas. Let us continue in this Star Trek tradition of breaking barriers and forging a path into the new world.

One of the largest barriers for sexual equality is todays Hollywood - while it is increasingly accepted, sexual equality is normally overlooked and frowned upon in large-scale movies (except in stereotypical, degrading roles i.e the gay best friend, etc.).

Including a gay/lesbian/bisexual relationship in the movies will draw in new audiences as well as keep the old coming back. The money-making potential here is enormous.

Logically, these films take place in the 23rd century, and Starfleet operates out of San Francisco. Do the math.

I believe that it had always been Gene's dream to create a show that demonstrated equality in many ways beyond skin color and gender. In his own way, not only was he showing us a better world by disregarding race and sex, I believe he was on the track towards showing us same-sex relationships deserved to be treated as an equally as well. I think now is the perfect time to continue what he created back in the 60s. I think the fans deserve to see this happen whether it's the blooming relationship between Kirk and Spock or others who the fans have shipped from day one.

Besides vague hints and some homoerotic subtext regarding the Kirk/Spock relationship, there have been no openly homosexual characters in Star Trek. Either make the lead pair a couple (yeah... that's not unlikely at all) or aknowledge this fact, please.

Gene Roddenberry gave us visions of the future, a future where medical tools and such are far more advanced. Theoretically, shouldn't everyone be omnisexual? I hope J.J. would choose to do this of his own accord, though, and not because the fans screamed at him. We do make a good point, though. ;D

I agree with this, not for any desired pairing on my part but for the general conception of a Utopian future. Like Mr. Roddenberry, who believed in equality in every shape and form, it would abide by his beliefs of what an accepting and open-minded society is and what it has accomplished.

It's about time that the LGBT community gets a fair representation in Trek. It doesn't even have to be Kirk/Spock. At the very least, a minor character. It's ridiculous that it hasn't happened yet, and that it needs measures like a petition to even be considered at all.

It is already 2010! With all the heterosexual behaviour exhibited in all of the various Trek incarnations it would be nice to see some representations of queerness. We deserve to be represented just like every other community. Unless the creators imply that queerness is some sin to to be hidden by the time of the 23rd/24th centuries, then it should be shown.

Madeline Hernstrom, MA, 14, Female
As if Kirk/Spock wasn't cannon already...I'd love to see those two get together in a more obvious way. And Star Trek was always about equality and truth, so this would be a perfect step forward in the Star Trek universe

It is only a "logical" progression into the future that homosexual members of society will become accepted members of society. So, I don't think it is that progressive to include gay members of humanity in any Star Trek movies or series. What's the problem?

Star Trek The Original Series was a Kirk and Spock story. With the new series this remains the same: it's still about Kirk and Spock. Only this time, lets take it that one step farther, the way it should have been back in the 60's. Push the boundaries, that is what Star Trek has been known for in the past. Lets see that happen again.

I can't really understand that much why people are against 'homosexuality' or anything related to willing on both sides loving. I dislike even terming that way, because in my mind, love is love. Why put a name on it?
I might be just a kid, but I really believe that Gene Roddenberry envisioned a future where all genders and all kinds of people, aliens, are equal and accepted, and created Star Trek to relay his beliefs--other than the profit thing, because come on, that's mostly what movie/TV productions are aiming for.
I don't really need to say anything, considering all the other comments here presenting proof of the Kirk/Spock--and yes, just three words - isn't it obvious? Go back to TOS and watch all over again. Better yet, read up on what Mr. Roddenberry says about these two--Wikipedia's a start ;)
Star Trek...is amazing, and Gene Roddenberry too, and I don't really have a huge vocabulary so I can't pull up some now, but all I'm saying is...stop denying it.
Anyone who isn't prejudiced (and indeed, Star Trek aims at bringing them down, go Mr.Gene!) due to how they've been brought up to see the world or anything like that(I don't mean to offend anyone) can definitely see whats going on: T'hy'la(friend, brother, lover), the touching, Kirk and Spock’s loyalty to each other, what they'd do to protect/save the other, and even the looks...Star Trek 2009 definitely has the ‘looks’ between the two too, and the Uhura/Spock was put in because Spock didn't have a shoulder to lean on, since Kirk was out(for the timebeing). Even people I know who aren't really 'open' admitted there ought to be something going on between the Captain and First Officer too.
Yes, it seems like a huge risk to even sneak in one kiss to the new movie, but wasn't it a risk to have a 'black' as a communications officer? An Asian, Russian, Scotsman, an 'alien'(‘half’ at that) on the crew back then in the '60s? And the first inter-racial kiss?
If we’re just going to wait for people to see past homophobia, and all that is against the idea of social equality, and love, it definitely isn’t going to happen. We need to act, not be herded like sheep as ‘society’ pleases!
I think I’ve rambled enough so—
“To boldly go where no man has gone before."
Here's for social equality, people!

Joy Tierney, Rochester, NY, 27, Female

Amber, Iowa, 17, Female
I believe Roddenberry would be extremely disappointed to see what has happened in the new movie, being as he was an open-minded man and constantly pushing the limits on social issues, whether it be the first interracial kiss, or same-sex relations. Funny thing, same-sex relations still aren't smiled at (Though it is getting better) so he'd probably push it far and just say Kirk and Spock are together finally.

Kelly K, Wisconsin, USA, 21, Female
"Yes. There's certainly some of that with . . . certainly with love overtones. Deep love. The only difference being, the Greek ideal . . . we never suggested in the series . . . physical love between the two. But it's the . . . we certainly had the feeling the affection was sufficient for that, if that were the particular style in the 23rd Century." -- Gene Roddenberry

The portrayal of any kind of homosexual relationship in Star Trek would be amazing, especially given the fact that Gene Roddenberry himself wanted said type of relationship displayed. The fact that his instructions were never committed to the screen is a tragedy. I believe firmly in the truth of Kirk/Spock (i.e. the romantic relationship between them), and would thus naturally love to see this finally given its proper due. But, as I mentioned, any kind of homosexual relationship would be a credit to Star Trek, which has already broken so many barriers through the years. It's time Star Trek became revolutionary again! Let's include ALL groups in the enterprise!

It is time that Gene Roddenberry got his wish. It is now 2010 and it is time for Star Trek to once again lead the way into a new way of thinking. Finally bringing in openly gay couples, such as Kirk and Spock, into light in Star Trek is the only logical thing to do.

But as it is with our time and age, there might be certain fears with taking such a leap of faith such as bringing in opening gay crew members into Star Trek. But what exactly are those fears? Money? Are you worried that by bringing in gay crew members or finally bringing Kirk and Spock together as a couple, you would lose money? The answer to that is no. For one, all Star Trek fans are loyal to the core. If you film it, they will come as they say, no matter what. And secondly, most Star Trek fans are gay rights supporters and are extremely open minded. After all, that is one of the lessons Gene taught us back in the 60's: How to keep an open mind. You will not lose money if you finally make Kirk and Spock a couple.

Are you afraid of the fans hating the movie? Rejecting it because Kirk and Spock get together or because of an openly gay crew member? Oh, how wrong you are if you think that. As I stated earlier, Star Trek fans are loyal and supportive. The movie will not fail and you will not lose money if you give Kirk and Spock's timeless romance new life or if you have two men or women fall in love with each other. In fact, by taking such a step, the movie would most likely be the most talked about movie of the year. Really, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

But can you make Kirk and Spock love each other and have it fit into the story? Well, if you have to ask yourself that question, then you really don't know all that much about Star Trek. The Original Series was a Kirk and Spock story. Time after time, Kirk stated that his ship meant everything to him, that he would give up any girl for his ship. And yet when Spock is on the line, he goes and destroys his beloved ship in "The Search for Spock". During Spock's Pon Farr in the episode "Amok Time", Spock loses his urge to mate after he thinks he's killed Kirk. In the novel written by Gene himself, Spock calls Kirk his "T'hy'la", which means "friend, brother, AND lover". At the end of "Wrath of Khan", Spock and Kirk share a Vulcan kiss. Honestly, making Kirk and Spock an official couple would not be that surprising, seeing as they were all but married in the Original Series and films.

When it comes down to it, as you can see, this is what the fans of Star Trek want. We want to have Kirk and Spock together, we want to have openly gay crew members. This is what we the fans want. And if the movie isn't for the fans, then why make it at all? Please. Take that leap. Make history. Be the people who changed the world. You have supporters. The Star Trek fans will not abandon the new film.

Bring in gay crew members! Bring in Kirk and Spock's epic romance! It's what the fans want!

Abbey, Boston, MA, 17, Female
I personally believe that Kirk and Spock deserve more visibility than the subtext they were thrown when developing their relationship on a '60s television show. It's 2010, and gay relationships don't have to be subtext anymore. Let's boldly go already.

Eve, Britain , 18, Female

Since the begining of Star Trek Spock and Kirk's romantic relationship was canon. The creator said they were in love with each other, more deeply than any man and wife. Perhaps they were not physical, but they were still in love, and still together. Star Trek of the 60's was not afraid to push the boundries, so why should the new generations version of the original show be so fearful?

I would prefer it if the LGBT character was a lesbian or bi female, but if they decide to have a male, then Sulu. They don't even have to have a kiss on screen or anything (although that would be awesome), just an acknowledgement that this character happens to love someone of the same gender.

Lee R., Kansas, 19, Male
While I'm a fan of the pairing, I don't think that they should have K/S be the LGBT couple in the Reboot, b/c/ of nu!Kirk's established promiscuity and the relationship between Spock and Uhara. A bi Kirk would only reinforce the stereotype of bi's as promiscuous, while if Spock broke up with Uhara to be with Jim, that would reinforce the stereotype of gays as homewreckers. Regardless, though, I would love to see any type of relationship between two (non-stereotypical) men (or women).

Donnelisa R. Bruney, Houston Texas, 19, Female
When I watched the original series with my dad, he was always sure to tell me that we were all equal. No matter if we were man, woman, black, white, green, purple, or blue.
Spock and Kirk always seemed to love each other in my eyes. Some may argue that a Vulcan cannot feel love. But I know he can. He and Jim were so close the attraction between the two characters was simply undeniable. This among a few other things made it easy for me to be okay with being gay.
Thank you Gene Roddenberry, Thank you Spock, thank you Jim.
And thank you in advance for fulfilling the wishes of the creator, and it's peace and equality loving fans.

In the past, the Star Trek franchise has truly pushed the envelope on social issues; but in this one area, it has truly fallen short of it's promises, as well as Gene Rodenberry's ideals. The few episodes that have been produced to "deal with the 'gay issue' " have been at best, allegorical, if not down-right cop-outs. Homosexuality might not be a big deal in the 24th century, but for us it is, and it needs to be addressed. Please give us and young LGBT persons everywhere some positive role models with which we don't have to equivocate. Thank you.

If you really analyze everything, Kirk and Spock were intended to be gay characters. Although that's a little much to ask from the new movies, I still hope this petition makes an impact. Back in the 60s, Star Trek made episodes with many controversial themes, and it should continue to do so.

It's obvious (to anyone who keeps their brain turned on while watching) that the purpose Star Trek wasn't just to be another sci-fi. It criticized the values of the time and questioned many things that where taken for granted by society. It's about time that Star Trek becomes what it was always ment to be: An offer of a better future, where intolerance is not accepted.

Star Trek was once a show that pushed as many boundaries as it could. Now, after almost half a century, those boundaries and changed. Push them. Challenge them, like in the original seasons. There was a Russian character during high political tensions with Russia. Have a homosexual or bisexual character or characters during a time of high political debate and tension. There is a whole community waiting to support you. Don't let us all down.

I read once that Gene Roddenberry tried very hard to make sure that humanity was reflected in Star Trek - even the death of Captain Kirk was done as a nod to the fact that death is the final frontier which all of humankind must one day cross. I think it would be a testament to Roddenberry's ideas to keep this promise and offer up to fans and all those who know Star Trek another part of humanity. Art, after all, imitates life, and life, art. So should one be true to the other.

Lindsay Shirkey, North Carolina, 19, Female
Let's face it, the more recent Star Treks aren't nearly as popular as the older ones, when they were pushing the social limits. Anyone notice how popular Doctor Who is nowadays? And they deal with sexuality all the time, even having an openly...whatever-happens-to-walk-by-at-the-moment-sexual character. I don't think it's a coincidence. Science Fiction is supposed to push boundaries, so why not a boundary that should have been breached years ago?

This is an opportunity to make a real impact. First, ST broke down racial barriers. It's time they broke down sexual orientation barriers. Obvious homosexual sexual tension has been displayed throughout ST, but always in the hush hush way the decade required. It's 2011. It isn't required anymore.

This would be *completely* in the realm and spirit of the original show. TOS dealed with some things in the 60s that were controversial and groundbreaking. It would be entirely *wonderful* if its reincarnation picked up the same thread.

I may be "new" to the fandom, having only begun to watch clips of TOS after the 2009 movie was released, but it seems more ridiculous to think that Roddenberry added the implications between Kirk and Spock on accident than if he added them purposefully. His series was meant to push social boundaries, and it did, with one topic carefully brushed by. I think it's time to put an end to that, and bring forward an at least bisexual main character, and while it doesn't necessarily have to be Kirk and Spock, I think Roddenberry's ideas speak for themselves.

Matt Ashby, Michigan, 21, Male
It doesn't matter if your Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transsexual, or strait everyone should be able to chose who they are in love with and still be accepted equally. I'm strait and have friends who aren't it doesn't make them any less my friend just means they are who they want to be and if signing this can help then I'll sign it till everyone one can be seen as sexual equal.

All I have to say is that this petition shouldn't even exist. We, the fans, shouldn't have to point things out to the writers, especially things they should already know. The fact that so many people have signed this petition is just proof that this is something that should have been a part of Star Trek from the beginning, or at least something that was quickly added. If you really think about it, this is about the only place that Star Trek hasn't 'boldly gone' and we need to fix that!

It's obvious that Spock and Kirk would have some kind of relationship. After all, Kirk was always touching Spock in the original episodes... WHY NOT NOW!?

Emilie, USA, 17, Female
Seriously? I mean. SERIOUSLY? Why the hell not, you know? It's frustrating to me and I can only imagine the frustration older fans feel because they've been fighting for so much longer. It's just not fair. Time to wake up people. Equality isn't something people should have to fight for.

The "Pink-Pound" is worth an absolute fortune and the creators of Star-Trek are fools to not want to cash in. Also, I'm sick of people ignoring our existence. There have been LGBT people since the beginning of time and we'll be here until the end.

I strongly believe that a more romantic relationship was implied between Kirk and Spock in the original series but because of the lack of acceptance in that time period it was never able to be brought to full light. Although acceptance is still questionable today, I believe with the reboot movies being released, it would be a suitable time to make the jump and bring Roddenberry's original dreams to reality.

The inclusion of LGBT Star Trek characters would not alienate Trek fans, but rather create new ones, or make existing LGBT fans more enthusiastic about the series. It would also give sexual minorities hope for the future; something I think Roddenberry always aspired to do.

I totally agree with this petition, and I especially think there should be something to do with Spock/Kirk in the newer films, afterall there were alot of hints in TOS that made people suspect there was something going on there, they just couldn't really show it openly on tv in the 60's. Even Gene Roddenberry told us in his own words that there was deep love between the two, and not just friendship. I think it would be highly disrespectful if the producers of future Star Trek movies didn't fulfill the CREATOR of Star Treks wish and promise. And regarding the films with the original crew members, e.g Kirk and Spock; Ill be very annoyed if they suggest they have different feelings for each other just because its an alternate reality...It shouldn't make any difference.

Face it, Kirk/Spock could EASILY be interpreted as canon in the original series/movies- it's about time that we get official, onscreen recognition of their amazing (and undeniably romantic) relationship.

Producers; you really have a chance to do something important here. It's so, so important that we begin to see gay and lesbian characters that aren't stereotyped. Gay men don't have to be sassy hairdressers; they can be badass Starfleet captains. Go there. I implore you.
