I'm pretty sure no actual queers appeared on the show.
I know that some of the creative people went on to work on V, which explains a lot of what I saw there, too.
Another scene that bothered me involved Richard, the black pilot who was taken from Korea in the early 50s. A big deal was made about interracial relationships being more acceptable now, and the way his fellow (white) pilots beat him up when they found out he was seeing a white woman. When he's still getting oriented in the 21st century, they show him seeing other interracial couples, and they're all white women and men of color. I think the only interracial relationship that was a white man with a woman of color was Sean and Isabelle, but they positioned her as emotionally manipulative and abusive to maintain that relationship.
And the whole thing where if she has powers, she's destined to be evil, and could only be redeemed if she were a normal human or dead.
Or the bit where her father (Richard) de-aged her to her true age, three years old, without telling her what he was doing, and only giving her a choice after she was physically about 7 or 8.
