It's not just pride month...
SpaceCowboy, 
Wait, was Ensign Ro LGBTQ+?
I thought that sort of thing wasn’t really allowed in 90s Trek, unless the writers could sneak it past Rick Berman. Obligatory: Fuck you Rick Berman!
FlyingSquid, 
She was queer on BSG. Close enough.
Kaboom, Juneteenth doesnt even mark the end of slavery in the US. Houston was not the last city to hear about the slavery ban. New Jersey had slaves six months after Juneteenth.

Its revisionism.
grue, Slavery didn’t really end until 1963 – or hasn’t even ended yet, if you count prison slavery.
So what’s your point?
dudinax, (edited ) You’re the first person I’ve heard claim there were no more slaves after Juneteenth.
The power of Juneteenth is that it’s a grassroots celebration by former slaves started the year after they were freed.
FlyingSquid, So there, black people! Stop having your holiday!
Philharmonic3, How about celebrating some of the best things to happen each year?
FlyingSquid, Upsetting the biggest pieces of shit in the world is one of the best things to happen each year,
cabron_offsets, Bro how you gon be upset about getting the day off?
Stampela, And there’s a substantial overlap with the “white lives matter too” lot!
Zink, This image could totally have some kind of ethereal Jesus-like figure floating above them with its arms out ready to embrace them, with a big BLM pasted on its forehead.
EmpathicVagrant, You just described Sisko in his Prophet form
Zink, Well shit that was a missed opportunity!
kellyaster, 
All these pride memes are awesome. And you guys are so awesome
Zink, Hear, hear!
It’s always great to see some part of humanity pushing towards those utopian Star Trek society ideals.
Aeri, 
My only issue with juneteenth is I wish it had a cooler name.
FlyingSquid, Really? I quite like the name.

Anytime one can make or use a portmanteau is a good time. Ain't nobody got time for all those syllables.
Zachariah, 
jth
Muscar, No time for spelling either I see.
Atelopus-zeteki, "Tis a narrow mind than can think of but one way to spell a word."
FiskFisk33, If you are going to point out someone’s spelling you could at least be courteous about it.
aeronmelon, Every time I rewatch a Ro Laren episode, I get upset that we don’t have more Ro Laren episodes.
FlyingSquid, And never will again bar a prequel. 😢
teft, 
She gained some rank and got command of her own Battlestar:

aeronmelon, I’m gonna be real with you, chief, I HATED Admiral Cain.
As far as I’m concerned, the only good thing she did was deliver a spare Battlestar to Adama.
hobowillie, You were supposed to hate Admiral Cain. She was a military dictator and, more important, a mirror to the path Adama considered in the mini-series.
The Pegasus arc was so fucking good.
FlyingSquid, Years ago, I tried so hard to get the SyFy Channel/NBC to give me the rights to do a BSG audio drama taking place on another ship in the fleet parallel with the TV series’ story arc that would incorporate things like fleetwide announcements in the TV show into the story.
So if the President or Adama makes a speech at some point, they hear it on the ship and react to it.
Alas…
RizzRustbolt, Now that’s some Pride rep.
the_crotch, The role of kira on ds9 was originally supposed to be Ro. You could have had a whole series with her as a main character.
