Browsing Fan History, I found this...

I'm not really familiar enough with Wiki to even attempt it, but it looks like the second last section needs to be edited regarding our new goals, the rewording of the petition etc...

It looks like the K/S controversy has spread way further than LJ... Damage control suggestions anyone?

It's just reporting facts, it doesn't really need damage control.

Anyone can fix up the wiki, really, as long as you source it correctly. I'd do it myself but I'm about to pass out. If it hasn't been fixed when I'm up tomorrow I'll get on that.

Just wondering if you guys saw this on normal wikipedia-

"When Star Trek: Voyager came to air, fans created the "Voyager Visibility Project" in an effort to persuade the series to have one of its crew-members established as having a gay or bisexual orientation. The club was able to get the endorsement of Roddenberry's grandson, Richard Compton Jr.[27] In a letter to the fan club he wrote:
“ I wholeheartedly support the Voyager Visibility Project's efforts to add an on-going gay or lesbian character to Star Trek: Voyager. I feel that the producers of Voyager fail to exhibit the social foresight that my grandfather has shown. Only through 20th Century activism can the 23rd Century goal of a hateless society be met. (April 29, 1996) ”

The club created enough of a letter writing campaign that in 1997, Voyager Executive Producer Jeri Taylor made the suggestion that Seven of Nine should be established as being a lesbian or bisexual. The internal suggestion was leaked to the press and the fan club and the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation issued a press release praising the decision to make the character the first gay character on the show.[28] However, Paramount quickly issued a statement that Seven of Nine was going to be heterosexual, and afterwards Taylor explained that her suggestion was rejected by an unnamed superior. Yet, as seen with DS9, Voyager was able to drop hints about a hero's or villain's sexuality as long as it was never developed." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexuality_in_Star_Trek#Fan_response)

It sounds like they were at least somewhat successful in getting the executive producer to consider it, so it's good to know that something like this has been done before and the star trek team took notice of it. Perhaps this time it'll be more successful? :)

Sorry if you guys already knew about this ^^;! I wasn't sure so I thought I'd mention it.

Ah, ok then. Don't mind me, I'm just paranoid that the whole world still sees us as a bunch of tinhat fangirls :P

It will change as time goes by, I suspect.

It will be like a history of SEE. :D
