Star Trek's' Sulu: I'm gay
 

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- George Takei, who as helmsman Sulu steered the Starship Enterprise through three television seasons and six movies, has come out as a homosexual in the current issue of Frontiers, a biweekly Los Angeles magazine covering the gay and lesbian community.

Takei told The Associated Press on Thursday that his new onstage role as psychologist Martin Dysart in "Equus," helped inspire him to publicly discuss his sexuality.

Takei described the character as a "very contained but turbulently frustrated man." The play opened Wednesday at the David Henry Hwang Theater in Los Angeles, the same day that Frontiers magazine featured a story on Takei's coming out.

I can hear the late night joke writers drooling in the back office on this one.

Now we know why Cpt Kirk stated back in the 60's,

"to boldly go where no man has gone before !!! "

Apparently Sulu had... and this Cpt Kirks' cry for help to come out of the closet

the chick who played his daughter in "Generations" was cute

I always suspected... but didn't dare say it out loud.

But I knew.

Oh yes. I knew.

Nah, gay or not George is good people. :D

Have you ever listened to him talk? Please, Liberace sounded more manly.

Damn you beat me to the post...

Howard Stern does funny stuff with Takei sound clips.

No huge surprise. God bless him for coming out.

During WWII he was forced into a internment camp for four years.....

I guess space wasnt the final frontier afterall...

now IM wondering how many threads today are going to be made about the same subject before ever looking to see if there are any others

I fucked him at warp speed

ya. the guy has gone through more shit than anyone of us can imagine

unfortunately we dont get stern anymore in canada

Definitely not a surprise.

This is something that has always boggled my mind..

Why the hell does *anyone* have to "come out"? Personally, I could care less if you breath smells like pussy or sweaty ball sacks - I'm gonna toss you a breath mint regardless!

If a gay person doesn't want their sexual orientation to be an issue - why make an issue of their own sexual orientation by "coming out"??

/me hands out breath mints to *everyone* on GFY!

i'm sure all the trekkies out there wanna fuck sulu so bad right now...

Naw, after all these years he's all worn out from the Captain's log.

I'm somewhat surprised he was able to hide it for so long.

I looked first
