It makes sense though. Sulu only ever shows interest in one woman during TOS and it’s when Mirror!Sulu tries sexually assault Uhura. All of the other characters have romances of some sort.

People are still weird about gay characters, particularly canon ones. Having the one with the openly gay actor was the easiest. They were never going to down the K/S route.

It also meant a lot to John Cho that they had an Asian-Asian male couple as they are particularly stigmatised.

I wish they’d made Kirk bi as well.

I'd read that the romance story line in "This Side of Paradise" was originally meant for Sulu, hence why the woman's name sounds Hawaiian, but D. C. Fontana swapped him out for Spock. I'm guessing she figured having Spock act all blissed out and in love would increase the conflict by showing how powerful the plant spores could be.
