Positively Trek Book Club: Star Trek Celebrations from IDW

Positively Trek 277: Book Club: Curiosity Killed the Cat … But Satisfaction Brought it Back!
Star Trek: Celebrations
While the Star Trek universe has recently made great strides in pushing the current societal boundaries of representation and inclusion, it hasn’t always done so. However, with the current slate of new Star Trek shows since the debut of Star Trek: Discovery in 2017, the lineup of LGBTQ+ characters is so great that a new comic issue celebrating Trek’s queer community can’t even fit all of them in!
In celebration of Pride Month, IDW has released Star Trek: Celebrations, a one-shot comic issue featuring a few of Star Trek’s greatest LGBTQ+ characters, and in this episode of the Positively Trek Book Club, hosts Dan and Brandi are taking a look at the stories that comprise this comic! We discuss five short comic stories featuring Hikaru Sulu, Raffi Musiker, Seven of Nine, Christine Chapel, Paul Stamets, Jett Reno, and Beckett Mariner. We hope you enjoy the discussion, and we also hope you had a great Pride Month!
