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.

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.

"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.

"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.

"Happy Pride, you lovely and perfect humans," he added. "I, and Wesley Crusher, see you, and we absolutely adore you."
