Sulu is Gay!

Actor George Takei who played helmsman Sulu in the original Star Trek series has come out as a homosexual. This post may seem off topic for an atheist blog, but I did a bit of research and found a 'lost episode' of Star Trek.

In the episode "Sword of Exodus", Sulu comes out of the closet when a mysterious entity removes the crews inhibitions. Uhura, secretly working for a Christian organization, Exodus Interplanetary, attempts to use her many charms to 'cure' Sulu of his affliction (see photo). She is unsuccessful in her attempt which prompts Sulu to perform the 'Polished Saber of Gayness' dance around the decks and corridors of the Enterprise.

As a consolation to Uhura, she is later nailed by Captain Kirk who, ironically, is actually gay also.

Sulu's gay? Huh, didn't see that one. Anyhow, I think it's a wonderful thing that he feels that enough progress has been made in social acceptance of gays and lesbians that he can confidently announce his orientation. That is somewhat reassurring. Very far removed from back when homosexuality was a disorder in the DSM.

Haha, good one Alan.

I thought the coolest part about this news is that he met his partner when he was 50 yo and has been with him for the 18 yrs since. It's never too late for anyone to get something good started in their life!

I was surprised to, but when I told my wife this morning she said, "Duh, well of course he was gay". How do women know these things?

Sorry to interrupt, but I just found out that you spent "Chronicles of the Beast" the wrong way.
