Well, to cheer you up, William Shatner is an ecto-jerk prima donna (actually, so was Kirk, if you think about it: good typecasting), but he definitely, emphatically, absolutely is NOT gay (as, obviously Kirk wasn't either).
And the actor who played Scotty wasn't gay either.
So at least we can salvage SOME of the heroes of childhood.
And yeah, I hate it when actors' tell us their sordid secrets and stupid ideas. I liked Star Wars, but knowing that Carrie Fisher was a coke-head ruined the Princess Leia business.
Hey once Captain Kirk did the alien green chick in that one episode, what's the big deal about one of flight deck officers being gay?
I mean really.........if the Captain of a Federation Starship could actually do a green alien woman....... :-)
