Star Trek's jaunty-jumpered boy genius who may or may not be Picard's secret son is far from everyone's fantasy, but for many thirsty 13-year-olds, resistance was futile.<br>
<br>
Wil Wheaton acknowledged his character's queer appeal in a Facebook post celebrating the few young Trekkies who weren't fundamentally irritated by Wesley's precocious antics.<br>
<br>
"Over the years, I've met several men who have told me that their childhood crush on Wesley Crusher was a big part of them coming out and living their lives with joy and love and pride," Wheaton wrote.<br>
<br>
"I can not even begin to tell you how much this means to me. I love it so much that I, and some of my work, were there for people (when I didn't even know it was happening) who needed a safe place.<br>
<br>
"Happy Pride, you lovely and perfect humans," he added. "I, and Wesley Crusher, see you, and we absolutely adore you."<br>
