TNG said very little, if anything, about homosexuality. There were no gay characters in TNG.



The beauty of Trek was that it normally did things subtly and with metaphor.

The episodes about the Trill/Dax were often metaphors for homosexuality.

Similarly, in TOS, the classic stories about civil rights weren't starring African Americans, they were about aliens, the classic example being the ep with Frank Gorshin.
