if i could talk to you here is what i would say right now.
although his 1996 guest starring role playing himself on the joey (sorry jo-seph) and matthew lawrence sitcom "brotherly love" should have been a tip-off, it does come as somewhat of a surprise that the actor best known for playing sulu has booked permanent passage on the hershey highway. though the must see takei pic on uffish thoughts would seem to indicate we all should have already known.
george takei has had an amazing career dating from the late '50s and is currently starring in "equus" in the big la. now he's gone where he personally hasn't gone before and come out in a frontiers magazine interview. frontiers is basically the advocate but with literally about 397 hustler ads in the middle. he would have made the cover of the advocate, but he's not a straight white male or a white lesbian with cancer.
is the u.s. government looking back on things and wondering "was it the wwii japanese internment camp we imprisoned him in from age 4 to 8 that turned him gay?" and trekkers are wondering "was it our sulu/chekov slash fiction that turned him gay?" and pamela anderson is wondering "was it his guest starring role as a deep voiced evil computer on campfest 'v.i.p.' that turned him gay?" but i have the answer.
it was his own deep deep voice and tight tight muscles and passion passion for living living the truth truth that both got him on "star trek" and "turned" him gay. gene roddenberry, who always said he wanted gay characters on the show, if only in the background as part of the fabric of the future, but was stymied by the higher ups until he died, is surely proud of george. as i'm certain are the entire "star trek" family and any true trekker, plus anyone who's anyone on earth plus the gay vulcans are into it too. live long and prosper, george takei. i hold my romulan ale high in your honor. oh wait, that's drano. crap.
oh and please don't die soon george because i'm still not over scotty or bones.
dammit uhura, you will be my fag hag!
