McCaffrey took a turn towards homophobia, adding to her books that only inferior dragons would pick LGB riders, that then were used as a sort of cannon fodder, and a gold dragon queen would only choose strictly hetero riders because they were supposed to be breeders.

Roddenberry was a sexist nuisance, both on set and in the themes he tried to constantly write into the scripts. While claiming tolerance, he chased away some of the actors with his antics. Sexual tolerance themes got written more despite of him, than thanks to him, and mostly appear after he passed away. It can be claimed that he was "a man of his time", but still.
