Is there any problem the folks from Star Trek did not see coming, and don't already have a solution for?
Brilliant!
I have to admit I was surprised when George Takei came out. I did not pick him as the gay Star Trek crew member.
I figured it had to be Kirk. I mean come on, he was forever taking off his shirt to show off his lightly oiled torso, that is if he wasn't overcompensating with every green or purple woman who happened by.

As a Canadian I am proud that we have Marriage equality so that all couples can be recognized. However I will NEVER accept Takei Marriage... what type of unholy crap is that?
ReplyDeleteOn a serious note, I love this video, the message, and of course Mr. Sulu. George Takei, you are an amazing man!

ReplyDelete"...overcompensating with every green or purple woman with higher-than-high beehive hairdos and tacky, glittery outfits (remember those? remind you of anyone?) who happened by."
There, fixed it for you. :)
Takei Pride Fest?!!!!! I just wish I could change my orientation for the day so I could take part!
ReplyDeleteHandled with humor and dignity. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm a "classic" Trek fan from way back, and thrilled to see the original cast doing so well.
When I told my husband they are outlawing "gay" in Tennessee, he thought I was making it up. Way to go Sulu!
ReplyDeleteThere's this beautiful moment in Star Trek IV, The Voyage Home, right after they have traveled back in time when Sulu looks out at the city they are approaching and with Takei's lovely deep voice says...
ReplyDeleteSAN FRANCISCO!
The character is from SF, but if you knew back that about Takei, that moment is pure gold.
Brilliant!!!
ReplyDeletei choose to be TAKEI today ....tomorrow i will be KIRKY
ReplyDeletethis will be fun. what a wonderful way to show the silliness of the Don't Say Gay bill.
@3:47 - It was the boots! The tight leather, stilleto boots!

ReplyDeleteOh dear, now I'm thinking Bristol=B52s, and that attraction to them is a sexual orientation all its own. And that's way too disturbing.
Bless George Takei, for his witty and open-hearted contributions to the discussion.
See an overly glammed up person? He's soooo Takei!
ReplyDeletePerfect hair? He must be Takei.
George needs his own designer brand now! He is out of the closet and designing for ours!
LOVE love it!
ReplyDeleteNice.
ReplyDeleteThe more who declare the harder it is to deny Takie exist.
I love this! I can see this going viral.
ReplyDeleteBTW I guess in Tennessee they won't be studying Tchaikovsky or Langston Hughes.
Well, no one needs to study commies or blacks, right?
