It may not be his fault, but the language has not been changed. And media portrayal may be a part of human rights and we all (well I) want to see pretty people with whom I can identify and manage to portray facets of identity that are not "default" going the fan-service route of eye-candy.
The reason for fans to be jumping this band wagon is neither here nor there. Sci-Fi (and Fantasy) is notoriously bad when it comes to the portrayal of Queers (excluding the relaunched Doctor Who and Torchwood, the franchise of which is British - this whole debate is very US-Centric, which funny because I'm, well, very much not American).
I've had a few correspondences with Lance the petition organiser and the whole focus on K/S (and to a certain extent Trek) has left a sour taste in a lot people's mouths.
