I’ve always liked the pair of friends but this answers my question of why they were even a pair to begin with. Always thought it was weird Bashir just let this incredibly suspicious tailor hover around him. I chalked it up to the writers wanting to make an unlikely friendship situation.

Andrew Robinson wrote Garak as bisexual in A Stitch in Time so it’s an idea he’s had since shortly after DS9 ended at the very least.

He said it was his intention from the very beginning.

Yeah, I know, and I think it definitely shows in the first scene between Bashir and Garak, but I was just pointing out that even if you thought he was lying about it being his original intention for the character, it’s something he put down in writing 23 years ago, so it’s definitely not something “new” he came up with to seem progressive.

I don’t think he ever claimed that the writers of DS9 thought Garak was bisexual, just that that was how he played him, and his novel proves that that’s not just an idea he recently came up with.
