There are a lot of people out there who are "totally ok with the gays" but put such a high bar on what constitutes acceptable representation that it starts to feel like bigotry by omission.

Yeah, I agree. That's the thing — I have no problem with whatever "woke" stuff people are complaining about. My complaints are things like "this is the first time anyone in Star Trek (outside of time travel) mentioned inches."

Except the representation is literally not what I have a problem with?

I understand, you like representation, you're happy it's there, you just believe it should only be talked about it extremely specific ways or not at all. That's what Patrick is doing in the first panel.
