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.
Yeah that is not good! And I'm glad people asked.
To others, on the off chance this actually appears. Apologies if my meaning was not clear. I think that the person Beltran responded to is homophobic and disgusting. I also thought that the person quote tweeting him put words in his mouth. Both of these things are bad.
Clearly with the additional context from this comment Beltran is also an asshole. All of the others seemed to think that me expressing both opinions above means I was "defending" Beltran, which is not the case. It was also possible to interpret what he said as trying to avoid the question. I assume that's why people asked him to clarify.
It’s ok. Being fair, open minded, and happy to hear new info is the best way to go about these things. This is the first time a bunch of people are hearing about Beltran being a bit of a bigoted arsehole but he’s been like this for years (didn’t used to be this bad, at least overtly, but has gotten more so with age). Those who have been in the convention scene for a fair time are in no way shocked.
Yeah I get that! The last convention I went to was maybe 2017 and he wasn't there so it makes sense. Kind of crazy to think that an actor in Trek can have these type of views I guess.
Anyway, thanks for being nice and explaining this without judgment! I appreciate it. Coming from reddit it's a breath of fresh air
