Trade embargo.
CRETAK: A glass of Romulan ale, Doctor?
BASHIR: Thank you, Senator.
ROSS: The trading embargo has been officially lifted, if you were wondering.
BASHIR: It hadn't crossed my mind, actually.
ROSS: To one of the many benefits of the Alliance.
I only use if for medicinal purposes!
Don't be a jerk.
Or, 1/50th the death rate of the general US population.
Thanks for your completely sincere suggestion, which I'm sure was made in a good faith effort to have a mature and intelligent discussion on this topic, but I'm actually very well versed in LGBT+ history already.
10 deaths versus 4.
Lies, damned lies, and statistics....
Cardassians like Tekeny Ghemor and Aamin Marritza are right in line with the point of Trek.
Oh, FFS. Never mind.
That utterly misses the point of Pride. It's not about revenge, it's about reconciliation. It's not about hatred, it's about love. It's not about divisiveness, it's about coming together. It's a good thing that police, etc. want to be in our parades. Excluding them actively harms the progress LGBT+ people have made since Stonewall.
Shouldn't we be working against that, though? Isn't that the whole point of Pride... AND TREK?
I'm obviously asking why no cops. I don't believe you didn't understand that. But clearly, you're not willing to discuss it, so I'll withdraw the question.
