“I genuinely cannot believe that a gay character on a TV show in 2026 can cause this much commotion. Y’all, like, I thought… I don’t know what I thought. Like, y’all gotta understand, I live in New York City, right? So you could be purple, in Brooklyn, and nobody cares. Nobody gives a ****. You know what I mean? So, like, when I come to the internet, and I see, like, all of these feathers being ruffled… it’s jarring, but, nevertheless, I guess it signals that there’s more work to do, so, yeah, uh, anyways, let’s talk about Kyle kissing Jay-Den in episode seven, y’all.”

The crossover that needs to happen! I don't care if it's an alternate universe one-off, because it's bound to be fun AF (although I'll gladly take more)!

In response to how joyful it was to read what Brad and George had to say, I wore this to work.

EDIT: As an Asian Trekkie, it is hard to explain how proud I am to have Uncle George as a role model.

The logics are (hopefully) similar enough that they could sell it as a "funny mirror universe" crossover

I've always seen star trek as my inspiration on how life can and will be better. I really love the show in any iteration. And to all the haters, bye. Get a life, preferably not one that focuses on how others live. As a 40 year old gay man, I just think about myself, when I was deeply in the closest at a young age, seeing representation like that on TV. It would have been so awesome. Representation like that, can be very uplifting. I'm here for it!
