      Additional context:

      He has also gone on to block a large number of LGBTQ fans tweeting to simply ask if he meant what was implied or not. The situation ain’t good.

      “People in the lgbtq+ community aren’t real trek fans” is absolutely not what he said.

      he agreed with it, which is tantamount to saying it himself.

      He shouldn’t have agreed with this asshole who tweeted at him, but that is what he did wrong.

      yet, you’re here defending him? so, you think it’s ok to agree with bigotry as long as you don’t say it out loud? wow

      But this is just not good enough for the woman who quote tweeted him and just had to add her own little flair to the truth to make it sound worse.

      Beltran says agrees with a homophobic/transphobic tweet, and your problem is that someone objected? So, to you, the bigotry isn’t the problem, but the fact that anyone has a problem with bigotry and speaks out against it? Because that’s what it sounds like.
