Star Trek’s George Takei Applies for Gay Marriage License

Posted by: AJ In: Gay Issues ()

WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA - JUNE 17:  Actor George Takei (R), known for his role in the science fiction TV series Star Trek, and his fiance Brad Altman talk to reporters while other gay couples wed as the era of same-sex marriage begins in California, June 17, 2008 in West Hollywood, California. Takei and Altman will marry at the Japanese National Museum in Los Angeles. Conservative and religious groups hope that voters will support their initiative on the November ballot to alter the state constitution to permanently ban gay marriages. Meanwhile, many business owners are looking for a wedding related sales boom. A study released by University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) this month projects that nearly half of the state's 102,600 same-sex couples will marry in the next three years and, along with same-sex couples from other states, will spend more than $683 million on weddings, honeymoons and other marriage-related activities.

George Takei, the actor well-known for his performance as Mr. Sulu on Star Trek, has boldly gone where no man has gone before! Last week, George Takei applied for a marriage license with his partner of 21 years, Brad Altman.  Takei (and his partner) was one of the many gay and lesbian couples who applied for marriage licenses after the California Supreme Court knocked down the ban on same-sex marriage in the state last month.

For those who are not familiar with Mr. Sulu or Star Trek, you might remember George Takei as Hiro Nakamura’s father in the first season of the hit TV show Heroes.

Oh… tama pala no? All I thought of him was he’s the guy from Star Trek (well, mainly because that’s what the articles kept pointing out). I forgot entirely he was Hero’s dad rin pala.

I was like “awwww” when I saw this. I’m more excited for Ellen and Portia’s though. Weeeh!!!
