Bryan Fuller

The 35 year old actress has “dated and loved people of all genders,” she said after trying to relay that she wasn’t straight in a prior interview.

The latest character added to the new “Star Trek” series is a female first officer with a traditionally male first name.

The out actor tweeted, “I’m thrilled to be on board and want to honor all that has come before me.”

CBS told Variety Bryan Fuller “remains an executive producer, and will continue to map out the story arc.”

There’s no excuse for the Star Trek franchise to continue ignoring the LGBT community.
