There have been no gay characters in Star Wars or Star Trek (movies and TV). I am a gay sci-fi fan and this has disappointed me for a long time, considering these are arguably the two largest sci-fi franchises. I don't know if there will be gay characters in Star Wars: Episode VII, but I hope there will be.
JJ Abrams did not put gay characters in the Star Trek reboot, even a minor one, although one of the main characters could easily have been made gay or bi. The next Star Trek movie will have a new director (Justin Lin), so maybe there Also apparently the Star Wars movies will be filmed by different directors, so even if JJ Abrams doesn't make the choice to include gay characters, perhaps some other director will (Episode VIII will be directed by Rian Johnson). But I still think that JJ Abrams should be inclusive of gay characters. I liked the trailer very much, but it would disappoint me if Star Wars didn't have any diversity of sexual orientation yet again.
