  David Gerrold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Gerrold, born Jerrold David Friedman (January 24, 1944), is an award-winning science fiction author who started his career in 1966 as a college student by submitting an unsolicited story outline for the television series Star Trek.
Gerrold wrote this script in response to being with Roddenberry at a convention in 1987 where he had promised that the upcoming "Next Generation" series would deal with the issue of sexual orientation in the egalitarian future.
Gerrold had always wanted to appear onscreen in an episode of Star Trek, particularly "The Trouble with Tribbles." The character of Lieutenant Freeman, who appears in the infamous bar scene with the Klingons, was originally intended by Gerrold to be a walk-on part for himself, although another actor eventually took the role.

 David Gerrold: From Star Trek to Star Wolf
Gerrold wrote a novel based on "Tomorrow Was Yesterday." This time, it was actually a Star Trek novel, and it was published as part of Bantam's Star Trek novel line in 1980.
Everyone agrees that Gerrold wrote a script that would fulfill Gene Roddenberry's promise to include gay characters in the new crew and serve as an AIDS allegory; everyone agrees that Roddenberry told Gerrold he loved the idea and the script then changed his mind.
Gerrold was long gone by then, though, developing a TV series of his own that was loosely based on Yesterday's Children.

 Andy's Anachronisms -- The Man Who Folded Himself by David Gerrold   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Not shying away from paradoxes or alternate universes, Gerrold makes the effort to explore the nature of time travel and the practical aspects of travelling through time from his protagonist's perspective.
Gerrold's ability to explain his concepts in simple terms is second only to Jack Finney's grasp of time travel as demonstrated in such works as Finney's About Time [Short Stories] and his classic Time and Again.
a classic is not only Gerrold's thoughts on time travel, but rather his ability to weave the elements into a meaningful exploration of personal identity as Danny tries to come to terms with his own individuality and sexuality.

 The Templeton Gate - Authors - David Gerrold
Gerrold claims he began work on this story as early as 1972, and at this time it seems possible he will continue working on it the remainder of his career.
The first two books were edited severely by the original publishers, Timescape Books, but Gerrold was lucky that firm was dissolved shortly thereafter and he was given the opportunity to restore them to his intended form for republication by Bantam just prior to the release of the third book in 1989.
Gerrold finally became an award winner with his 1994 novella "The Martian Child." This story, billed as "semi-autobiographical," recounts the ordeal of a writer who adopts a son who just happens to claim that he is a Martian.

 TrekWeb.com - Blalock, Braga On "Stigma" While David Gerrold Laments Shelving of Powerful TNG Script in 1987
Gerrold says his script would've presented a situation where Starfleet gave standing orders to destroy any ship found to be infected with a deadly plague.
David's subsequent draft was somewhat better, but as much respect as I have for David and for the need for a gay character on Trek, I do believe that it needs to be just no big deal.
Gerrold, who's written some novels I liked a great deal, dramatically it wasn't any great shakes, though its heart was certainly in the right place.
