            <I>Star Trek</I> fans are known for their obsessive
            devotion to the show, and the numerable gay Trekkies are
            equally loyal to       the object of their affection.     </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid43052.asp"><P xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">       Despite the huge
            gay following, <I>Star Trek</I> has       always lacked a
            definitive LGBT character. This omission has proven a hot
            topic for fans who like nothing better than to spend days in
            chat rooms       discussing subtexts, <I>Star Trek</I>
            conventions,       allegories, analogies, and possible queer
            symbolism.     </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid43052.asp"><P xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">       Now, a fan site
            called "Star Trek: New Voyages," which produces
            homespun but highly slick short movies, is making a queer
            Web episode       whose genesis is celebrated in <I>Star
            Trek</I>       fandom as "Blood and Fire."     </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid43052.asp"><P xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">       Gerrold has since
            claimed that while most of the <I>TNG</I> cast and crew
            (including Roddenberry) were       supportive of the story
            line, it got short shrift from the studio, and       the
            script never made it out of the closet. The precise reason
            the script       was never produced has become a source of
            intergalactic myth-making and       speculation.     </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/39215821-0A10-4C32-BBEC-9D1A5DF832BC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
