Mr. Sulu Comes Out of the Closet

Actor George Takei, best known as Mr. Sulu on the classic TV series Star Trek , comes out of the closet in the new issue of Frontiers . Or rather, as he tells editor Alexander Cho, "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."

Also, the whales they used in Star Trek 4 were gay.

I always thought that Mr. Sulu and Mr. Checkov were TV's first interspacial Gay couple.

BTW, this particular issue isn't the "final" Frontiers, is it?

Bwaha.

OMG...Howard Stern has been trying to get him "OUT" for years. Glad to hear it.

Kinda brings a new meaning to ' To boldly go where no man has gone before'.

Maybe that is why he hated William Shatner so darn much...

Olympicnut · 10-27-2005, 07:33 PM

I knew from friends he was gay but closeted (the Hollywood closet), and they told me this like 15 years ago when I wasn't gay - lol. Its about time some male celebrities are starting to come out more, like George and Tab Hunter. The closeted men of the world need some male celebrity role models too ya know.

3 more 'til that knife set!

I heard about this some time ago as well from a gay friend, who unfortunately passed away about 10 years ago.

"Boldly go where no Bald man has gone before."

Maybe now Shatner will admit it and take off the "rug."

"The world has changed from when I was a young teen feeling ashamed for being gay," he said. "The issue of gay marriage is now a political issue. That would have been unthinkable when I was young."

The 68-year-old actor said he and his partner, Brad Altman, have been together for 18 years.

Busy week.
