Celebrating Pride Month: Which Star Trek characters do you think were probably LGBT?

Everyone in the mirror universe is bi. I think you're right I just don't think that counts as evidence.

Jadzia Dax is pan, Ezri Dax is straight but hasn't had long enough for that mid-transition reevaluation to really kick in so might not end up there.

Well every WOMAN seems to be bi in the Mirror Universe. But Jadzia is pan in the DS9 universe canonically. Garak is also as bi as they could make him.

So it's just Kira, Ezri, and Leeta.

Fair point.

Odo hooked up with a male-presenting Changeling in one episode and since his appearance is based on the researcher who raised him it's ambiguous if he even has a gender identity. I don't know what that is but it's not cishet.

I'd say it makes the most sense to describe Odo as genderfluid.

[Frustration]

The character of Odo was a lost opportunity in so many ways. Rene Auberjonois did a great job, especially given all the prosthetics he had to work under, but the writers and directors made Odo a human male who had the ability to shapeshift rather than a genderless liquid being.

They could have done things like had his personality shift with different forms, or made him truly asexual, or even develop a romantic relationship with - *gasp* - a man, instead of Kira Nerys. Garak did a great job of presenting a nonhuman personality that may have included a romantic or sexual interest in Bashir, why not with Odo?
