I think that there are no gay characters ON SCREEN is simply because we are seeing so very little of their lives

It's funny you say that, because I remember when TNG and DS9 was popular there were complaints about it becoming a soap opera, because suddenly all these relationships were popping up. We had the the Deanna/Riker will they won't they, then Deanna/Worf, then it was Worf/Dax, and there was obvious UST between Crusher and Picard. Obviously Crusher had a relationship with a man at one point, as the father of Wesley was her former husband. Sisko had his wife who had died. In the background we had O'Brien and Kieko?? (I forget if that name is right) burgeoning from a relationship to marriage.

On DS9 we had Odo/Kira, we had the relationship between Quark's brother and that girl...? Righ. And then there were all kinds of romantic shenanigans in Voyager etc. Strangely, ALL OF THEM STRAIGHT. The only queering we sortave, maybe had, was with Garak (the simple tailer, hahahah) and his interest in Dr Bashir. Both actors were playing that up, but went away soon enough. And we Dax...at one stage, what with the host, complication thingy and a previous flame.

So, I think it's safe to say, we have a very different look at the entire series. For a show that always prided itself on diversity, it really didn't have much of it when it came to a person's sexual orientation.

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
