Andrew Robinson, the actor, has said that he played Garak as a bisexual character, and that Garak’s original motivation for befriending Bashir was simple sexual attraction.
If you don’t mind me asking, are you straight? I ask because every queer person I know, myself included, absolutely picked up on Garak’s queer coding, but most of the straight people I know who watched it during it’s original run (or shortly after) didn’t.
Also, I don’t see how hes gay coded. He doesn’t have a sexuaility.
