DS9 does not have any canon LGBT+ characters. Actor intent got overridden and eclipsed by homophobic producers and writers. As much as we would love to credit actors for playing characters as a certain sexuality ex-post-facto, we need to recognize that their intent does not make their characters queer in the eyes of the show. In the eyes of fans? In headcanon and personal theory? Yes. Those characters can absolutely be queer. But in the eyes of the show and its creators? No. There is no representation there.
