Nog is straight. But also an incel.

He also grows out of it, at least in The Visitor

This is wishful thinking. It was made within a heteronormative society, and most characters who have love interests and relationship histories are hence straight.

Unless stated or shown it's far more of a head cannon to assume a queer identity where none is suggested.

No media can fully escape the culture, period, and context it was created in.

Ah yes gender politics, only thing missing from Star Trek themed discussion.

Naw it's not missing. Always been there.

Kira was a rebel at heart.

Bashir was in the "I've been genetically modified, which is illegal, so should I have kids?" camp, if I remember correctly.

Sisko loved his wife.

Odo was a gelatinous blob.

Jadzia was influenced by past multiple personalities, so she likely loved pans and pots.

O'Brien was a weeb. He only loved his waifu, the transporter room.

Jake was a reporter. He loved crawling into holes he shouldn't have been crawling into.

Quark was a businessman. He loved risky ventures.

He only loved his waifu, the transporter room.

Slight disagree, he only loved his waifu, constantly breaking systems.

Miles "I can fix her" O'Brein

Agreed on all points except Garak, the simple tailor.

Anybody who misses how shamelessly he flirts with Julian needs their head-canon checked on.

I always viewed Garak as uninterested in anything but intrigue. He was inherently non-sexual to me.
