Star trek has always been progressive. But it was enjoyable enough and there was nothing else like it that everyone could enjoy it. It was the the far future so if the captain was fucking green aliens then it's not a big deal he kiss a black human chick.

Also there's been a chick captain already. She fucked shit up and got everyone lost for the entire series.

But I know what the issue is and it lies entirely with the current trend in entertainment. It's not going to be a character that's gay and a captain that's female but a gay character and a female captain. The difference being their gayness and gender will take precedence over their role in the series.

It's like having a disabled character. A character with a disability would be like geordi laforge, you forget he's even disabled. A disabled character will be someone in a wheelchair going "now how am I going to get over these steps? I'll use my determination because it's always me vs the world!" Every other episode. It's shitty writing.
