Star Trek's 'Sulu' admits he's gay

http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/1....ap/index.html

Quote:

"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.

Takei, a Japanese-American who lived in a U.S. internment camp from age 4 to 8, said he grew up feeling ashamed of his ethnicity and sexuality. He likened prejudice against gays to racial segregation.

"It's against basic decency and what American values stand for," he said.

Good for him to come out and say what he truly is.

It's amazing what one can discover about themselves in the privacy of their bedroom. I hope his relatives handle it as well as we are.

What a coincidence - I was just visiting his website the other day. I was wondering why he didn't have a wife or kids. That probably explains it.

P.S. He's not that bad. He does great voiceover work.

Good for him. Must feel good now that he doesn't have to hide it.

PS He has an awesome voice.
