It’s Pride Month and Kelvin, Christos and Ben take a moment to consider the last 12 months in Star Trek from the LGBTQ+ perspective. How have the queer community been represented within the franchise, what’s been the reactions and how do we feel about the diversity and representation within Star Trek right now.
