However, Roddenberry admitted in an interview that the series helped him overcome his homophobia. Gray's new body uses the same technology as the synthetic body for Admiral Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) in Star Trek: Picard, but hasn't been widely adopted because of its low success rate. Instead, queer identity was mostly relegated to the world of metaphor, rumor, and interpretation — often from fans and activists who desperately wanted to see themselves in Starfleet.
It's not clear where Seven and Raffi stand romantically, but that should be apparent if Star Trek: Legacy happens.
Seven of Nine's relationships with men in Star Trek: Voyager were mostly forgettable. After being resurrected, Dr. Culber is uncertain about his own existence, and questions whether his marriage to Paul Stamets is still valid.
Seven's relationship with Raffi isn't perfect, but it's clear they're trying to make it work despite the difficulties.

Star Trek: Picard
Life has not been particularly kind to Raffaela Musiker. Seven of Nine's lackluster relationship with Commander Chakotay (Robert Beltran) in Star Trek: Voyager season 7 didn't pan out.
My attitude toward homosexuality has changed. But still others were inspired – enough that Kirk and Spock’s enduring connection to one another has remained a potent symbol of homosexual love for Trek fans.
Star Trek: The Next Generation
During a 20th anniversary convention in 1986, show creator Gene Roddenberry was asked by a founding member of a Boston LGBT science fiction group (called, charmingly, the Gaylaxian Network) whether or not the recently announced The Next Generation would introduce gay characters to Starfleet.
Seven's skills are useful to Admiral Jean-Luc Picard and the La Sirena crew; after bonding with Picard over their shared Borg trauma, Seven continues to help Picard's team.
Best LGBTQ+ Star Trek Characters
Summary
- Star Trek has evolved to include LGBTQ+ characters, paving the way for representation and acceptance in the franchise.
“Alex Kurtzman, the straight man in the team, was telling me we would need a gay character.”
Fuller departed from the series in October of that year, but the show stayed true to his word.
It was the lowest-rated episode that we had. Rumor had it in 2001 that Dominic Keating’s character, Malcolm Reed, would be written as gay, but it never came to pass (although Keating has since made jokes about having played him that way).
The Star Trek shows on Paramount+ have given Star Trek canon a wealth of new LGBTQ+ characters.
Many also believed that it would lead to bigger roles for the LGBTQ+ community in the future, and it did.

Star Trek: Discovery
Star Trek: Discovery pushed the boundaries of LGBTQ+ representation and exploration. “Don’t be so binary,” she shoots back. After the death of Adira's Trill boyfriend, Gray Tal (Ian Alexander), the Tal symbiont needs an emergency host, so Adira volunteers.
Much like Jadzia Dax, Adira is joined to a Trill symbiont, even though Adira themself is a human. Even after his death, it took another 28 years for the first gay character to appear in StarTrek’s television series (although yes, novel tie-ins, comics, fan works, and other non-canonical media featured a markedly improved number of LGBT Starfleet officers).
