Never late.
Can't say I'm surprised the writer of the article is an actor, The amount of essays I've written and read like this but unfortunately I cant buy into their argument as it's one stretched out point with multiple examples.
in the case of the Bobby Briggs example, I feel they 2D Garland Briggs who is anything but the stereotypical military man past surface level, which to me weakens a well rounded perspective to use the Briggs as an example. Garland isn't disappointed in his son, he always knew he would turn out alright (not in the sense of being straight but in the sense of not being a coke head, hanging around and aiding a prostitution ring and getting into thuggery for a living).
That doesn't convince me it's purposeful purely for queer code.
Counter argument the Riker lean, nothing queer, purely Johnathan Frakes having an injury meaning he has to lean or have his leg up.
Certainly not saying their argument is baseless though. It's likely I don't fully understand their definition of queer and what extent they are trying to argue that it's more than a coincidence.
The meme is certainly something new to look out for.
Thanks for giving me something new to look out for and think about.
