Yeah, for the show being made when it was, he does a great job focusing the majority of Garaks flirtation with men.
There's lots of ways to interpret pain simple Garak. I think many of us caught that he is meant to be gay, or at least bi.
I think there's arguably also some solid subtext about Garak probably being persecuted by Cardasian (cough - military) culture for being gay, as well.
And perhaps even that being closeted on Cardasia might be a big part of his origin as a...plain simple tailor.
I mean him being a tailor is a pretty on the nose way of hinting that he spends a lot of time in closets.
