minus-squareevatronic@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up23·1 year agoIt was never said on screen. But the actor has said that he always played Garak as if he was bi if not gay.
minus-squareMajorHavoc@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·1 year agoYeah, for the show being made when it was, he does a great job focusing the majority of Garaks flirtation with men. There’s lots of ways to interpret pain simple Garak. I think many of us caught that he is meant to be gay, or at least bi. I think there’s arguably also some solid subtext about Garak probably being persecuted by Cardasian (cough - military) culture for being gay, as well. And perhaps even that being closeted on Cardasia might be a big part of his origin as a…plain simple tailor.
