    Yeah, for the show being made when it was, he does a great job focusing the majority of Garaks flirtation with men.

    There’s lots of ways to interpret pain simple Garak. I think many of us caught that he is meant to be gay, or at least bi.

    I think there’s arguably also some solid subtext about Garak probably being persecuted by Cardasian (cough - military) culture for being gay, as well.

    And perhaps even that being closeted on Cardasia might be a big part of his origin as a…plain simple tailor.
