Sep 15 2008Mr. Sulu gets married
George Takei (Star Trek's Mr. Sulu) wed his longtime partner Brad Altman yesterday at the Japanese American National Museum. The AP reports:
Wedding guests included "Star Trek" stars Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols, who served as best man and best lady, Hollywood executives, local and national government officials and the couple's relatives from around the world.
Keeping with the multicultural theme, guests dined on Asian/Baja Californian fusion cuisine and took home Japanese tea-ceremony treats in boxes printed with the phrase: "May sweet equality live long and prosper."
What the? No Spock or Shatner? Jesus, this wedding sounds pretty gay. Oh right. Whoops. Man, I've put my foot in my mouth this time. Quick, Geekologist, tell me how to smooth things over with your people - and I'm not talking about the geeks. Seriously, I don't want to end up getting a sassy makeover in my sleep. I'm too ruggedly handsome, dammit! KHAN!!

Why do some gays look normal like this, and others look like samantha ronsen? I wouldn't have a problem if I had a gay son that dresses/acts like this but I would beat his ass if he tried to walk around in a miniskirt and makeup. JMO
14. old man - September 15, 2008 11:40 AM
They look so gay in that picture
15. Jimbo - September 15, 2008 11:46 AM
I am not wishing about anything. You are the one that is all concerned about who is the "power bottom". You are such a butt pirate..
16. Rhianna - September 15, 2008 11:48 AM

21. Ted from LA - September 15, 2008 12:02 PM
I had the honor of meeting and then having an affair with George Takei in the late 90s. He was a perfect gentleman and even pulled out before he orgasmed. As nice as that was, it did ruin my ascot and silk shirt I was wearing at the time because, due to the resta\raints, I was unable to make it to the dry cleaners until about a week later.
Ive posted several pictures of he and I on the link in my name for the non-believers out there.
Those on here that know me already know the truth, but those noobs that doubt will see I am telling the truth.
Im back and again, GAY and PROUD!
Get Over It!
22. Barak Obama - September 15, 2008 12:03 PM
Good job California Supreme Court. Ram your own agenda down the throats of the California voters who overwhelmingly deafeted gay marriage. And people think conservatives try to force our agenda. The voters spoke but who gives a shit right? That is why after 41 years in California I had to get the fuck out. Liberals, homos and illegals can have the fucking place. The weather isn't worth the other bull you have to put up with.
23. lloyd johnson - September 15, 2008 12:04 PM
16 the joke went over your head.
15, 18 whats with this, "you're gay" "no you're gay" arguement? Just have sex with each other and see who enjoys it.
24. lloyd johnson - September 15, 2008 12:10 PM
22 "Liberals, homos and illegals" made you leave California? Are you sure it wasn't the mortage you defaulted on? Seriously, that was the dumbest reasoning I have heard today.
25. Alex - September 15, 2008 12:12 PM
Butt gay marriage is wrong! (did you catch that)
26. lloyd johnson - September 15, 2008 12:13 PM
Nevermind, I undersand now. You used to work at Starbucks. You were tired of serving all those homos and liberals with better jobs and jealous of all the illegals with those awesome landscaping jobs.
27. Pussy Galore - September 15, 2008 12:17 PM
If you don't like gay sex then, let them get married. Married people never have sex.
28. BONER - September 15, 2008 12:23 PM
That's absolutely true Pussy Galore. LMAO
29. havoc - September 15, 2008 12:31 PM
They must be happy.
If you look at the photo, they have matching black hard-ons.
LOL!

30. Barak Obama - September 15, 2008 12:36 PM
No lloyed, I had a nice government job and was tired of paying out the ass (no pun intended) for all the illegals who didn't have insurance, used the ER as their primary medical (since no one would EVER give them a bill knowing they will NEVER pay it) and helped make the school system the worst in the Country. 1 in 3 ER's are closed in California since they illegals made them go broke.
The schools suck (still no pun intended) because instead of teaching they are indoctrinating the kids on everything from how great it is to be a homo and how crappy of a place America is supposed to be. Look up SB-777 if you have the balls and tell me the homos and liberals haven't ruined the place.
31. Pussy Galore - September 15, 2008 12:42 PM

32. lloyd johnson is a gay mexican liberal - September 15, 2008 12:49 PM
SB 777, as introduced, Kuehl.
Discrimination.
Existing law states that it is the policy of the state to afford
equal rights and opportunities to all persons in the public or
private elementary and secondary schools and postsecondary
educational institutions of the state regardless of their sex, ethnic
group identification, race, national origin, religion, or mental or
physical disability and prohibits a person from being subjected to
discrimination on those bases.
Existing law prohibits a teacher from giving instruction, and a
school district from sponsoring any activity, that reflects adversely
upon persons because of their race, sex, color, creed, handicap,
national origin, or ancestry.
Existing law prohibits the State Board of Education and the
governing board of a school district from adopting for use in the
public schools any instructional materials that reflect adversely
upon persons because of their race, sex, color, creed, handicap,
national origin, or ancestry.
This bill would revise the list of prohibited bases of
discrimination and the kinds of prohibited instruction, activities,
and instructional materials and instead, would refer to disability,
gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation,
or any other characteristic contained in the definition of hate
crimes that is contained in the Penal Code. The bill would define
disability, gender, nationality, race or ethnicity, religion, and
sexual orientation for this purpose.

Basically SB777 says that if your son wakes up one morning and decides he doesn't want to be Timmy any more and he wants to be called Tammy and use the girls bathroom and showers, then there is nothing you or the school can do about it. In fact, they can get sued if they tell you about him wanting to become a girl.
34. Lisa Lulu - September 15, 2008 1:28 PM
21~ What's with your obsession with Ted from LA? You need to try to cultivate your own personality. Try not to be a sad little man.
35. Uncle Eccoli - September 15, 2008 1:28 PM
@32 & 33
So discriminate against them based on their language, then. There you go.

46. minniememe - September 15, 2008 2:05 PM
@44, better that than a father "effer". there's a fine line between obsession and disgust. but you are so easily riled... or should that be "aroused"?
47. Ted from LA - September 15, 2008 2:06 PM
Who gives a shit if two men or two women marry each other? I have better things to worry about.... like if Sara Palin can really see Russia from her front porch and my investment in LEH.
48. Toolboy - September 15, 2008 2:07 PM
Congratulations guys-
If they are happy, and by the looks of the photo, they are, then great, good for them. What ever gets you through the day, be it thumping the bible or or your best friend's butt, knock yourself out. As long as you're not pushing the bible or the butt on me, we're cool. In the end, we all (for the most part) want the same thing: a home, family and friends, a dog , a beer or 2, that kinda shit.
Goddamn aromatherapy candles are turning me into a pussy.....

32 33 If you really interpret that as;
"Basically SB777 says that if your son wakes up one morning and decides he doesn't want to be Timmy any more and he wants to be called Tammy and use the girls bathroom and showers, then there is nothing you or the school can do about it. In fact, they can get sued if they tell you about him wanting to become a girl."
I can only assume you never graduated any school and are on mental disability. What I read was an act prohibiting teachers from instating any curriculum that may be offensive to any students and using the guideline of the state Penal code's definition of hate crimes to define the perameters of this act.
You can't expect someone who grew up as the smartest kid in his class who also happened to be one of the few blacks in school to believe this is a bad thing. I have been on the wrong side of some ugly situations in school. Usually, teachers trying to even the field, but what happend was I got shorted on what I earned. While this bill won't prevent that from happening, hopefully it will give kids the courage to stand up and say, "that's not right!"
Back to the new couple, I am happy for them. I bet the sex stinks though...

#22, you're an idiot. For real. What are they "jamming down your throat"? Their own private lives? Are they making you marry another guy? They aren't doing anything to you at all-- bans on gay-marriage are a one-way infringement on people's rights. Absolutely NOTHING happens to you if they are allowed to get married, however you think it's perfectly reasonable to reach into their private lives and screw with them. You're the worst sort of bigot-- the sort who hides behind cries of "democracy" to deny people's liberties.

Sorry, 64 is right. In my experience, the smartest kid in the class is always either white or Asian. It's NEVER a black person. Not trying to discriminate, just calling it the way I see it.
