According to Ira Steven Behr, DS9's showrunner, "I know they got a lot of negative feedback, which only goes to prove a point I always believed in, which is that science fiction fans and '''''Star Trek'' fans are much more [[conservative]] than people want to believe, and this whole Gene Roddenberry [[liberal]] Humanistic vision is truly not shared by a significant portion of them.'''"<ref>''Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - The Official Poster Magazine'', issue 5 (credit to Memory Alpha for finding the quote)</ref> As of 2013 with the release of ''[[Star Trek Into Darkness]]'' no openly gay characters have been featured and the [[liberal claptrap]] media consider this "a glaring double standard."<ref>http://www.wired.com/underwire/2013/05/star-trek-lgbt-gay-characters/</ref> However, prior to 2016's ''Star Trek Beyond,'' it was revealed that Sulu will be gay. George Takei said that while he was glad that a gay character will be featured in the film, he felt the move interfered with Roddenberry's original vision.

== Pedophilia and hard-core Star Trek fans ==
Ellen Ladowsky wrote in ''Huffington Post'':
{{Cquote|The ''LA Times'' recently ran a story about the Child Exploitation Section of the Toronto Sex Crimes Unit, which contained a mind-boggling statistic: of the more than 100 offenders the unit has arrested over the last four years, "all but one" has been "a hard-core Trekkie." Blogger Ernest Miller thought this claim was improbable. "I could go to a science fiction convention," he explained "and be less likely to find that 99+ percent of the attendees were hard-core Trekkies." While there may be quibbling about the exact numbers, the Toronto detectives claim that the connection is undeniable.
In fact, Star Trek paraphernalia has so routinely been found at the homes of the pedophiles they've arrested that it has become a gruesome joke in the squad room. (On the wall, there is a Star Trek poster with the detectives' faces replacing those of the crew members). This does not mean that watching Star Trek makes you a pedophile. It does mean that if you're a pedophile, odds are you've watched a lot of Star Trek.<ref>[https://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellen-ladowsky/pedophilia-and-star-trek_b_5857.html Pedophilia and Star Trek fans]</ref>}}
