      The focus on drama over logic completely shallows out the allegory until it’s JUST a gay couple being contemporarily gay on screen

      Yeah. That’s my point.

      Maybe there is no allegory.

      Maybe it’s just a gay couple on screen.

      Like Nichelle as Uhura was just a black woman in an elevated position on screen.

      No message. Just simple representation.

      Why is that such a problem?

      Because if you ask people in the community, many will tell you they’re kinda sick of the gay experience only be represented in a negative light, always a struggle, always a message, as opposed to just them simply and comfortably existing.
