When did Machete realize he was gay? Was it only when he met Vasco, or was it earlier and he just repressed it?
If you asked him, he might admit that in retrospect he must've had a vague inkling earlier (thinking of all the times he let his gaze linger on a painting of some handsome nobleman a little longer. Which almost makes it like... a 16th century equivalent of having a secret fictional crush). But I think it probably would've been more of a detached, aesthetic attraction than anything he recognized as distinctly gay, bad and worth of repressing. It's not a sin to quietly appreciate art and the beauty of the human form.
I'd say Vasco, his best friend at the time, was most likely the first real person he had actual feelings for. The realization was so distressing he stayed in denial about the whole thing for a good while.

Guys I've got to come out. I unironically love Vedek Bareil. You know the way we obsess over certain minor characters, like ensign Vorik and stuff. It's like that with him and it's been that way since I first watched DS9. Idk I know he's "white bread" or whatever but I don't care !! I found his death genuinely fucked up and sad. In the episode where Lwaxana was making everyone super horny accidentally he was pretty cute and dorky. Idk I just like him. This is now an anti Bareil-slander zone !
