> 88 pages from 2021 involving Wilfred Laurier social sciences? You know what's more interesting... So, I take it that you didn't read the article and dismissed it based on its length and source? > There's objective measurements that the democrats moved far left creating the polarization. Source please? > You have star trek discovery a ultra top secret missions best of the best crew... but every character is LGBT. Not even close to every character. There are quite a few romantic entanglements through the story: Burnham/Tyler, Voq/L'Rell, Burnham/Booker, Georgiou/Lorca, Lorca/Cornwell, Pike/Vina, Detmer/(unnamed), Airiam/Stephen, Sarek/Amanda, Burnham's parents, and, yes, one gay couple, Stamets/Culber. There are two trans characters, one bisexual character, and I count three gay characters. The cast list on Wikipedia lists 43 characters in total. I think you might be misperceiving the opponent fringe here?

>I think you might be misperceiving the opponent fringe here? Sorry, I wasn't clear, not 'all'. Clearly disproven by just 1 character if you're going evaluate all characters even if they were only on screen for 1 second. > There are two trans characters, one bisexual character, and I count three gay characters. The cast list on Wikipedia lists 43 characters in total. 12 main characters and 6 lgbt? Mind you, I LOVE the idea of trill being trans/non-binary. This makes a ton of sense. What discovery failed at is exactly what is tearing the USA apart. I love they realized why it didnt work and are doing better.

  Okay, that's a pretty big goalpost shift. In nearly 60 years of Star Trek, we've now got 4 seasons where some main characters aren't strictly cisgender and straight (but the majority of the couplings are still between straight, cisgender characters). In what regard did Discovery "fail"? As far as I understand, it's been pretty highly acclaimed.
