NEWS: Star Trek's Sulu Comes Out

I read his motherfucking autobiography and none of that was in there!

I feel cheated and lied to!

I want my 16$ back!

George Takei. Or as the kids might type, George Teh-Geigh.

No disrespect intended.

Good for him, and yeah, I hope the rest of his years are happy and backlash free.

Sorry buddy, I already went there.

Good for Sulu! Though it was kind of obvious.

what a great, creative thread title.

I was busy.

I can't wait for the day when stuff like this doesn't become news either here or on the front page of CNN. He just shows up with his boyfriend to some premiere and the reaction is just 'meh'.

When homosexuals are accepted both in law and by our society, it won't be news. In the meantime, things like this help make them accepted.

Harsh..but true.

And actually, compared to, say, 10-to-20 years ago, this has generated relatively little reaction. A man who is or has been in the public eye can come out of the closet now with comparatively little threat to his career, and without most people's opinions of him changing dramatically.

This is actually a bit surprising, unless you look @these pics, then you wonder...

But, in all seriousness, good for him.



Is it a bad thing I didn't get the "Oh my" reference? Anyone care to shed some light for me?

-TM

"Beam Me Out, Scotty!"

Does this mean we can look forward to an amusing range of "I'd go gay for Sulu" t-shirts?

I had no idea. But good for him.

BTW, to be a little pedantic: "Equus" was written by Peter Schaffer; "Martin Dysart" is the name of the psychiatrist character in the play. (Just in case anyone cares.)

love it!

So wrong, yett so true.

Win

Also, it's not "new." At all. It was first performed in the 70s, I believe.

The UK newspaper "The Sun" had it's usual sensationalistic approach to this story. I'd see if a link was available, but that paper disgusts me in more ways than I ever thought possible.

So awesome. Good for George.

Like others have said, this is the kind of thing that will contribute to the long term development of equality in our society.

I loathe headline puns.

Mostly because of stuff like this

Meh. stupid long urls breaking.

I'm SO disappointed I didn't get to be the first to type "Oh my."

But, still. yes, good for George for boldly going where.. etc, etc.

My computer is set so that every time a program starts, it says "Oh My."

The phrase has entered my vocabulary irrevokably. And all my friends.

Ooooh, I didn't realize that only one reference per thread is allowed. I promise to never violate this most sacred rule again, master of the internet.

Do yourself a favor, watch the second/fourth/sixth Trek movies.

+1 for my Gaydar skills. The guy REALLY should do more narration work.....incredible voice.
