      I always liked Stamets. As a gay dude, seeing a gay guy on screen in Star Trek as a main character who was treated just like everyone else meant an enormous amount. When I later found out that one of my favorite characters also happened to be played by the same guy who shot my former favorite actors career in the head? Could not have been more proud. Fucking floored, but proud. Cannot imagine it was easy for Rapp. Wasn’t exactly about to be something I brought up with him in conversation either.

        I love that he just is, without explanation or apology. That’s really what Start Trek is really about

        Anthony Rapp is a goddamn hero. Even just coming forward, being visible, thriving, are all heroic acts in my opinion. Although, it’s not necessarily something you’d want to be known as a hero for.

        Also, RE: Spacey’s coming out. I think it goes a few layers deeper. It felt like he was trying to garner the support of the LGBT community in a very “Look they’re accusing me of being a pedophile. But, I’m gay! And we all know that’s the reason they’re saying I did this, right friends?”. When that happened, I looked up his accuser and found Anthony Rapp, an openly gay man. I immediately wrote Spacey off then and there.
