TNG: The Outcast - "Trek Was Always Political" Episodes

We continue our journey through the most overtly political episodes of Trek, with The Next Generation's big episode on LGBTQ issues, "The Outcast." Riker gets a trans girlfriend, Wof wants to join a straight pride parade, and Jonathan Frakes himself gives us a quick thought about the episode! Welcome to Starter Trek, where Tawny Newsome guides her friend Andrew Ti through the endless frontier of the Star Trek universe, along with their producer Jessie Earl.
