“I thought would be tertg to have an olr character be gay. ”Fuller said he puts up a mental “orange ne” when to gay and lbian characters that have already been explored. It’s one of the reasons he wasn’t so exced about a “gay” script that was rattlg around for Star Trek: Voyager when he was part of that show.
“There was a pregnant ensign – Ensign Wildman – and she was gog to have gay godparents to her child, ” said Fuller, explag the show’s potential plotle - that never got ma. ”In our ma page article, Fuller talks about some of the gay characters he’s tried to brg to tv.
