Trek Made Me Gay: funny subversive queer cross stitch PDF pattern (Star Trek parody - instant download) Live Long and Prosper Vulcan Salute

Star Trek has always been queer.

It has always pushed the envelope of progressive ideas and representation, so it's not surprising that so many people can trace their earliest inklings of their queer identities back to experiences with Star Trek. As with any mainstream media, the property sometimes shines and sometimes falters at representation, but on the whole its work has helped many people feel seen.

This pattern tongue-in-cheekly (cheekily?) celebrates that history of representation and progress. It would make a great present for that queer trekkie in your life.

Live Loud and Prosper, friends.
