California Gay Marriage Update

George Takei and partner plan to wed in September

WASHINGTON (AP) — George Takei, best known for playing Sulu on "Star Trek," will never forget the first time he saw Brad Altman, the man he plans to marry, more than two decades ago.

They were working out in a running club and he couldn't take his eyes off Altman, who had a "lean, tightly muscled" body, the 71-year-old actor told AP Radio in an interview.

Takei said he asked Altman to help him train for a marathon, they fell in love, and now they've been living together for 21 years.

Altman said he proposed by getting down on one knee in their kitchen while Takei was eating a sandwich after seeing on TV that the California Supreme Court had legalized same-sex marriage. It surprised Takei, who thought he would be the one who popped the question.

They bought each other turquoise and silver wedding rings.

Takei and Altman plan to marry Sept. 14 in the Democracy Forum at the Japanese National Museum in Los Angeles.

Walter Koenig, who played Chekov in "Star Trek," will be the best man and Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, will be the matron of honor. Castmate Leonard Nimoy will be among the 200 guests, but probably not William Shatner. Takei has said Shatner didn't treat him and most of the cast very well

See? I didn't need to know that Sulu was gay. Thats just not knowledge that I needed.

Its almost as bad as finding out that Chuck Conners (The Rifleman) did gay porn.

I wish George all the happiness in the world. But did we really need to mess with my childhood heros?
 
"It surprised Takei, who thought he would be the one who popped the question."

Gays probably have these types of problems a lot, lol.
