It's criminal that Berman would only allow the Garak/Bashir thing to be subtext. The first gay couple on Star Trek and also a cross-species couple would have been amazing. The best we got was evil mirror Kira fucking anything.

Well, if you need something that a simple tailor can help you with... like high-stakes negotiation with foreign governments, data exfiltration, intelligence analysis, or other such trivial tasks that don't require contacts or secret knowledge, he's the man for you!

I think what we have here is a misunderstanding. Whatever his sexuality, Garak is clearly just a plain, simple, tailor.

Garek is not a hero, and he's certainly not noble.

It's basically Garak and Ashok for this trope

Am I like tone deaf or something because I never got like a gay vibe from him.

According to Andrew Robinson's book Garak is bisexual though. Also if you haven't listened to Andrew Robinson reading "A Stitch in Time" you're missing out.

Where's a Garak? the new hit game of finding characters like Garak in other media!
