One, it’s gagh, and two, they’re worms, so they’re not kosher.
Well, however Klingon homosexuality expresses, we can be sure it’s honourable and fierce and warlike and honourable…
If there were any, they’d be fucking tough even for Klingons.
You said “honourable” twice…
We like honour.
'Minds me of the gay pride parade I saw a few years ago. There was a marcher about six eight with a physique halfway between Olympic swimmer and NFL linebacker. His t-shirt read, in 12-inch letters (yes, they fit):
BIG FAG
There are black Vulcans, and black and East Asian Romulans, besides the “default” white versions.
Star Trek is like that. Alien species are a lot more like us than would happen in reality. Klingons, Vulcans, humans, and as far as I know, everybody else can interbreed without a sci-fi doctor’s help. They do it the old-fashioned way (except on one episode of Enterprise, where an alien chick released her DNA into warm fluid and got a human man pregnant).
panache’s question is reasonable. We all know what it would mean for a Klingon to be gay. Has there ever been a character that fit that definition?
I don’t think so. For that matter, I don’t think there’s any evidence in Star Trek’s canon that there are gay humans.
Besides, regarding your post upthread, humans have looked for homosexuality in other species here on earth.
Are those the ones with electricity powers?
I had to google that to get it.
Because aliens in Star Trek exist for one purpose: to illustrate some facet of human nature and/or culture.
“You know how I know you’re gay? You cleaned the blood off your Bat’leth after you killed those Romulans.”
You keep your pinky extended when you eat your gagh?
In the *Dark Passions *novels, set in the mirror universe, there are plenty of lesbian Klingons. I don’t know if that counts as canon, though.
I would say the distinction between homosexual and heterosexual sex is a species-wide concept to humans (relevant cultural/moral attitudes very widely, but the perception of the distinction is universal), and would be to any humanoid species with a “male” and “female” sex as we understand such, which applies to almost all humanoids in the ST universe (there was that one species of humanoid hermaphrodites, where a sex-specific orientation is considered a perversion).
If there ever was a feminist movement among Klingons, somehow I imagine it as something along the lines of* “and after the feminists took the capital, the conservatives agreed to negotiate. The feminists called them cowards for such an offer and had them all executed.”*
In one of the novels there was an undercover Klingon agent who was altered to look human who was a lesbian and took advantage of living in the Federation to be able to live like one.
Of course, the Klingon word for “simpering man-bitch” is “human”.
Oy, it’s not a real bris unless it’s done with a bat’leth.
The Talmud is much better in the original Klingon.
It’s not kosher unless it’s got at least a good a chance of eating you, as you do of eating it.
Might as well add Cogenitors into the mix. Not Klingon, but still part of the humanoid-ish space seed soup.
I think Khan was bi.
Dinosaurs! On a SPACE SHIP!
