The protagonist has to be something other than a white male and gay people must be shoe horned in. Half the characters on The Walking Dead are gay.

That’s why you haven’t seen a white guy be a judge in a court room scene in 20 years.

People that make shows check off boxes.

The thrust of my original post was in regards to how Star Trek has always pushed the envelope in terms of what is socially acceptable. I gave two examples from this episode. I could have also mentioned the "ethical treatment of animals outweighs saving human lives" argument that was presented. I also said that it didn't bother me and that I like the show, but whatever....flame on.
