      I don’t think he ever claimed that the writers of DS9 thought Garak was bisexual, just that that was how he played him, and his novel proves that that’s not just an idea he recently came up with.

        Ah if thats the case, then that’s fine, I can accept that. I guess I’ll have to deep dive into this issue because I was under the assumption that the claim was the writers wanted him bisexual, which given the attitude of the writers, I seriously doubt.
