Even when it's about Kirk's love life, it's really about Chulu.
At least on TrekMovie.com, where surprise!Chulu pops up about 104 comments into a discussion about Kirk's potential romantic interest in the next movie. Some annoying pushback from ~defenders of default hetero canon~ ensues, but I was sort of tickled to see it come up at all.
If this was one of my fellow shippers: consider this post my salute to you, sir or madam!
Also, given my absolute rock-bottom expectations for dudebro-infested internet comment sections, I was sort of pleasantly surprised that one of the posters who said a gay Sulu or Chekov would be a violation of canon was like "but how about Pike? He could be gay, that's cool."
