Yeah, but that doesn’t mean that Keating himself didn’t decide that his character was gay and think he was playing him that way as an actor no matter what the script actually said.
Which he may or may not have been doing depending on when he was asked.
Oh, I don’t doubt that Keating might have decided to do that. Andrew Robinson, on Deep Space 9 certainly did, even in defiance of what Rick Berman had said with regards to telling him to stop it. That shit went on throughout the entire show. 
For sure. Berman and Braga were total homophobes and it really held Star Trek back. But I was mostly just joking about Malcolm being too confused in his sexuality to be a good lover.
Too confused? No. Total try-hard? Yes. He has zero chill. He’s on or off. No game. The guy has no “relax” setting. Even with half a bottle of sweet, sweet Kentucky gold in him, he’s still insufferable.
How do you fuck a guy like that?
edit: even being a spy didn’t add to his mystique, it just made everyone see him as disloyal and unlikable. the most interesting thing about him is that he likes pineapple— which Hoshi was only able to discover after interviewing everyone he knew about how boring he is. he’s so stiff, he’d need a deep tissue massage just to sit down.
edit 2: even his Mirror Universe version wasn’t really evil, he was just even more uptight and insufferable. Like his Prime Universe version, but worse and with a van dyke.
