Somehow I wanted cool Japanese music and a samurai sword vignette when he said the quote.


"It's not really coming out, which suggests opening a door and stepping through. It's more like a long, long walk through what began as a narrow corridor that starts to widen."

Good for Sulu, coming out at 60 something.

Frankly though shouldn't this have been tagged "Obvious", "Oh my!".

I wish gay folks would quit thinking it's important for us to know what they do behind closed doors. I don't run around announcing that I'm hetero. It's really nobody's business.

Another thing - if I found out my dad was doing it with another man, it would FREAK ME OUT.

Neelix wasnt gay, he was a Pedophile, that chick he was dating for the first two seasons was only two years old. when the show started.

Wasn't this already known? I mean, seriously, it doesn't surprise me at all.

From "George Takei... Secrets" on Conan:

"One time, I took one of the Tribbles home for the weekend. They didn't want it back."

clicky here for full text.

Anything with Kes's race would have been pedophilic, then. They only live 9 years.

"It occurs to me that either you have not been to college, or if you did, you did not spend a lot of time with the arts crowd. Lemmee splain something to you"

Well, I graduated from the University of Washington, does that count? Thanks for "Splain'n" to me, but I'm was just trying to say that I wish people would keep their sexual preferences to themselves, and stop acting like they deserve a medal for announcing that they like the man meat.

Next they'll be telling us that Shatner killed his wife.....

oh, wait a minute....

I'd like to give a huge shout out to any people who take the time to be honest with themselves.

George is Gay, that great. Congrats.

B. D. Wong, I'm kinda surprised, but fine.

Warf? WTF? Data? When? Where in the hell have i been?

Not only do you know that this dude is gay, you cared enough to stop in and say something about it, you took the time to say you didn't care. Step out of the closet dude. Be free. You don't have to stop in to all the 'out' threads to say you don't care.
-you certainly have a point there!

I heard Takei on the Howard Stern show about 10 years ago biatching about Shatner. He just sounded jealous-- he said something like "if Bill saw me he'd come up and shake my hand and talk nicely to me for 15 minutes, but he doesn't want to come to events with the rest of us and acts like the big star." He also griped because at the end of the last Star Trek movie, Sulu was supposed to get command of his own ship, but Shatner got them to cut it out of the movie.

Stern had Shatner on a few weeks later and Shatner just said "look, I like the guy, I'm just an actor, we can't leave every scene in every movie," and after all it wasn't like Takei himself was going to fly off in a spaceship.

In retrospect all the drama makes sense . . .

mama's_tasty_foods

he did get his own ship though

me, i always thought George was a little odd, but not in the freudian psycho-sexual odd, odd for different reasons

there's a lot sicker shiat out there than sexual preference, i keep my mind very occupied at all times, and when you only have a limited amount time, you have to discriminate and say "only this or that interests me" (unless you're on drugs - but then it narrows to other things, like food and sleeping), and if you ask me, if you're spending a lot of time thinking about sexuality, one could say "hmmm, going by freud, you're either gay, bi, or insecure in general", or you've got too much farkin time on your hands

people not washing their hands after taking a shiat scares me a lot more basic animal behavior

when society treats us like equals instead of red headed step children, we'll think about keeping it down.

until then, it's gonna be a parade!

Now we know just HOW Mr. Sulu actually got that helicopter that lifted the transparent aluminium for free in the movie Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. He actually did a "special" favor. I always wondered about that plot complication :-) Mystery solved!

Triaxis: Gee.. a Hollywood actor? Gay? Who'd have thought that someone who pretends for a living might be gay?


Thread - over.

Actually I would amend that statement to read, 'who'd have thought that someone who pretends for a living might get laid a lot.'
 
2005-10-28 04:17:01 PM
I guess we finally know the answer, Sulu's favorite planet is Uranus.

No word yet on Capt. Kathryn "Diesel Bull" Janeways.
 
2005-10-28 05:07:22 PM
With all the effort put into the corny jokes posted here, I cannot believe nobody has gotten this one right yet:

REAM ME UP, SCOTTY!

Whew. Now that is out of the way, congrats George! And no, not everybody knew. Hey, I am so oblivious, I didnt even suspect that Niles from Frasier was really gay until I read he brought a male date to the Emmys!
 
2005-10-28 05:58:55 PM
No one is gay on Star Trek, because in the future they find a cure for homosexuality.

Geeks2themax: George Takai has declared himself "Gay". Others argue he is "Asian". More at 11.


I'm still laughing at this.

@carridin1, TheJollyMunchkin and some others

You seem to be under the impression that we live in a world where homosexuals have the same rights as the rest of us.

%99 of the famous people who've come out publicly have already been out to their friends and family for years...decades even.

They do it to try to change society's perception and treatment of gay people. That's not attention whoring, it's fighting for civil rights.

George Takei said that he did this because of Schwarzenegger's opposition to a bill legalising gay marriage.

So, if you're really so uncomfortable with people publicly proclaiming their sexuality, maybe you should vote for someone who will legalise gay marriage, and it won't be necessary for these steps to be taken in the first place.
 
2005-10-28 07:48:34 PM
I've known he was gay ever since he hit on a friend of mine at a convention about 20 years ago.

/Mnemonic device we came up with: George Takei is flaming gay.
 
2005-10-28 09:31:37 PM
Well, I guess this explains those pastel uniforms in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

2005-10-28 10:23:29 PM
Wow, this is a real news story?

I heard it on Howard Stern this morning, and I thought it was just a continuation of all of their goofing on him.

You gotta admit, his manner of speaking makes it *very* easy to play with his words..

Nathan Brazil: The only one he mentioned that really held any interest to me was Bryan Singer. The influence of his personal experience on the X-men movies such as where young mutant Iceman 'comes out' to his family made it an interesting data point.

Usual Suspects - Spacey
Apt Pupil - boys shower scene hassles; Ian McKellen
X-men - McKellen again
Superman - Spacey again; man in tights.


Add one more for Spacey/ gay director teamup: American Beauty, written/ directed by Alan Ball (also of Six Feet Under)

Everyone who responded to me
Various reasons why I'm wrong

Well.

I've gotta be honest with all of you.

I just don't care. At all.
 
2005-10-29 07:49:13 PM
How ironic. All that time spent at the helm, turns out he prefers it in the stern.
 
2005-11-09 03:44:10 PM

Yeah, wait a minute... they said he DIDN'T kill his wife. Just some pathetic farkers like to spout their nonsensical wet dreams like that.
