Sulu, go to warp!...

October 28, 2005
Star Trek star George Takei comes out
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." In the interview, the 68-year-old actor also discusses his childhood in a Japanese-American internment camp, his 18-year relationship, his siblings' inability to accept his homosexuality, and the upcoming Los Angeles production of Equus in which he stars.

Well how about that? Who knew? He was always, to me, the most attractive guy on Star Trek. Some would say Kirk, but nah, he was always kinda....too overbearing to be attractive. Some would say Chekov, but nah, that mop of hair was just too unruly (and yes, I DO know how weird that sounds coming from me). but Sulu...Sulu, strong, in charge, in control, without being overbearing. And he looked really hot without a shirt, something Shatner never did. Oh, and the Asian thing never hurt either.
