Valentine’s Day took place over the weekend and to mark the occasion, the official
Star Trek site listed the top romantic moments in the history of the franchise. They include the beginning of Michael Burnham and Cleveland Booker’s relationship in
The Next Generation and, my favorite, Odo and Kira on
Deep Space Nine. But one romance that they’ve included may raise some eyebrows: Kirk and Spock on
The Original Series.
Of course, the iconic pair weren’t officially a couple in the show or the movies, but nonetheless, the article lists the episode “Amok Time” as an all-time highlight. This sees Kirk and Spock torn apart, with Spock coming to believe that his friend Jim is dead. When he discovers Kirk’s alive, he temporarily breaks his cool Vulcan demeanor to beam with happiness, which the site describes as “one of the sweetest moments of the series.”

K-pop singer Nancy from girl group Momoland was recently photographed in a changing room without her knowledge and the images were manipulated and shared online.

The talking point of “real person slash” – shorthand for fan-written fiction, aka fanfiction depicting same-sex relationships – became a topic of discussion this week as some began to equate the fan-made creations with sex offences.
The petition rose to public attention shortly after secretly taken photos of Momoland member Nancy were manipulated and shared online earlier this week. The petition mainly focuses on the way male stars are depicted in same-sex relationships and also questions the depiction of underage stars in the stories.

The love of Frodo Baggins’ life was one Mr. Samwise Gamgee. Nothing in the entirety of the Tolkien canon, even Sam’s wife, will ever dissuade me from this fact. Frodo and Sam’s story is about love, no matter how you see it, but for many of us who adore the world of Tolkien, they were queer. So too were Merry and Pippin. And Gimli and Legolas. And Aragorn and Boromir probably had a thing that one time. Also, let’s not forget whatever was going on with Bilbo and Thorin.
The point is that Middle Earth was and is, for many of us, a very very gay place and I would very much like to see that queer legacy reflected in some way, in Amazon’s new
