Andrew Robinson, the actor, has said that he played Garak as a bisexual character, and that Garak's original motivation for befriending Bashir was simple sexual attraction.

If you don't mind me asking, are you straight? I ask because every queer person I know, myself included, absolutely picked up on Garak's queer coding, but most of the straight people I know who watched it during it's original run (or shortly after) didn't.

Go watch the scene where Garak is leaving and Bashir gives him the chocolates, and tell me you don't see it in their faces alone
