I wish I were a Star Trek fan so I could come up with some witty follow-up joke. All I got are bad double entendres about "boldly going" and "beaming up."

(Seriously, though, I applaud Mr. Takei's courage.)

Hmmmm, when you put it THAT way, it makes me think that he was put up to it by the Bush Administration to avert attention from their f***-ups.

Everyone should do the Sulu Dance (http://66.218.63.245/web/sulu_dance.mp3) in support of George Takei's earthshattering revelation.

You can dance like Sulu "hello"
And shake your little behind "yes"
You've gotta give it a chance when you do the sulu and dance and you're friends will say "oh my"
I say, jump around if you want to and move your arms like a machine "yes"
If you do the sulu dance while wearing tight pants some people may call you "a queen"

Wow, I can't imagine being closeted until I'm 68! :shocked:

Or maybe he wasn't closeted and no one cared...? I wonder if the rest of the Star Trek cast knew? Hmmm. :confused:

A friend told me today about Takei coming out, and I was baffled, because I swear he came out years ago. I remember reading an interview that he did... and this had to be a good ten years ago or more... where he discussed being gay.

No one else seems to remember that though, so I thought I was losing it. :confused:

to say I always thought Star Trek was "gay", But damn....Didnt mean it in the literal sense. (Btw, I thought this was old news since most have known for years that Mr.Takei was gay, I mean how many straight males serve on organizations that are specifically for gays/lesbians?)

None the less this 'revalation' gives a whole meaning to "Boldly go where no man has gone before..." :rolleyes:

Man. There's this website that I go to called www.pointlesswasteoftime.com and they did this satire article about this...


WHITE HOUSE REELING...
Posted 10.29.05

...after Star Trek's George "Sulu" Takai's announcement that he is Gay.

George Bush called the news "saddening" and says that he accepted Takai's resignation from heterosexuality "with deep regret."

"The world has changed," said Takai. "I'm confident I can be accepted and admired as an openly gay actor today. It wasn't always like that. Back in the 60's, coming out as gay would have been about as acceptable as suddenly announcing you were a Communist. Actually come to think of it, Communists were fairly common in Hollywood by that point. So scratch that. Let's say coming out as a child molestor then."


Takai fends off criticism during today's press conference.


"A lot of us suspected," says Takai's former castmate William "James Tiberius Kirk" Shatner. "I recall Leonard (Nimoy) always making cracks about being the meat in a 'Sulu sandwich'. There was another time when I suggested to Sulu that he should set a course for "dee'Pfisting 7, Warp 9". Actually, I think that line made it into the show."


Takai joins the growing list of openly gay celebrities.


Still unclear is the impact this will have on White House deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, who has authored more than 300 pieces of Star Trek slashfic. "Does this mean I have to start writing stories fantasizing about Sulu being straight?" Mused Rove to reporters. "Like where the Enterprise is exposed to a mysterious alien energy that makes all of the crew seek out women for sexual relationships? Because I'm not sure how to do that."
