this is such an unpopular opinion I am certain of it so

the heteronormativity in the star treks before picard and discovery is really really prominent it's not unspoken or even just hinted at they literally state outwardly especially in Voyager that men and women get together only..

AND I just think the retcon doesn't make sense, suddenly gay people have been there all along? Look I get that the reason was because our society did not believe in validating other sexualities at that point. BUT as a stickler for Canon..it would make way more sense if along with suppressing neurodiversity (which they also mention both in DS9 and in Voyager) ..it would make sense if they suppressed the LGBTQ genes as well.

Then maybe after communication with an alien species they decide to undo that choice...

Also in Seven's case it would make sense if her parents didn't opt into that treatment and no one on Voyager realized. There was a fic I read that did that where she had feelings for Janeway and Janeway's queerness was suppressed when she was a child it was so sad but it made sense.

It's just so weird that the other series are so prominently in your face heteronormative and Seven and Chakotay are I'm sorry such a weird choice for a coupling that it just screams Comphet to me.

and I get it we want the Federation to be a good organization but DS9 showed us it's flaws pretty clearly...and one of them was extreme ablism and if they just addressed it in the same way.. that would be better than a retcon in my opinion. That's all.
