It seem George Takei, Sulu, the Helmsman on Star Trek, has decided its now safe to come out. I know that, despite Hollywood being full of gay people, it was, for so long, a terrible place to be out if you were actually in show business. At least that’s what I always read. Of course, the out cry from the audience those thirty or so years ago would have been pretty loud I guess. So, I sort of understand.

On the other hand, it would have been nice if he’d come out a little sooner. I guess he figures the Star Trek franchise if pretty much finally over, so he won’t be invited to make any more cameo’s.
