Sulu is Gay

Straight from the Not-Actually-News department, George Takei, the helmsman on the original Star Trek series, has finally come out of the closet publicly. I guess he thought we should all know, but anybody who has seen him in anything since the “Next Generation” Star Trek movies and other appearances since kinda had their gaydar klaxons blaring “Red Alert!” anyway.
“The 68-year-old actor said he and his partner, Brad Altman, have been together for 18 years.” Good for him. Out of respect for Sulu, I won’t make any “where no man has gone before,” or “final frontier” jokes. It would be wrong and in bad taste.
