Gene Roddenberry had made public his plans to add gay characters to [Star Trek], and had even commissioned scripts to introduce them at the start of the series’ run. However, with his declining health and subsequent death leaving Executive Producer Rick Berman in charge of production, these plans were scrapped and as of 2012 no gay characters have appeared in any “Star Trek” TV series or film, though several were originally scripted as such. Though no public reason has ever been cited for this omission, writers David Gerrold, Ronald D. Moore, and actors Leonard Nimoy, Kate Mulgrew and Scott Bakula have all implied that Berman has personally blocked all attempts to integrate LGBT characters into the “Trek” universe.
