Thinking about that very first Trill episode in TNG where Dr. Crusher fell in love with a man and then he died and his symbiont was passed to a woman and she was like "anyway Bev, shall we continue" and Beverly stared down the camera to say "I wish my world was ready for that" in a way that definitely meant "I wish I could be gay" but in story technically had to mean "you changing bodies is too confusing for me"
But anyway, at least we know that Beverly's answer to "would you love me if I were a worm" is a politically charged "the studio wouldn't let me"
