May 27 2009Kim Kardashian and George Takei on Prop 8
Kim Kardashian took to her blog yesterday to voice her opinion about the California Supreme Court's ruling to uphold Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage:
This really makes me sad. I thought we were more forward thinking than this, and I'm disappointed in the Supreme Court for being so closed minded. Everyone.. gay, straight, bisexual, transgendered, EVERYONE should have equal rights to marry who they want to. I have many gay friends and all I want is for them to be happy, yet this is just another obstacle in their way. Now they must continue fighting to be granted a basic civil right that many people take for granted. Shame on you, California! We must all continue to fight the h8!
Oh, awesome, she used "h8" instead of "hate." You can't buy that kind of legitimacy. In the meantime, Star Trek veteran George Takei also spoke out on the court's ruling to ban gay marriage yet keep previous marriages legal. TVGuide.com reports:
"They decided to be indecisive," Takei tells TVGuide.com. "It was a ruling that doesn't resolve anything because there is still inequality. It's like [George Orwell's Animal Farm] -- some pigs are more equal than other pigs. We're more equal than some of the other gays and lesbians."
Of course, one of these people is simply exploiting the situation in a never-ending quest for self-promotion, while the other has a legitimate reason to be involved. I'll let you guys guess who the latter is. (Hint: Rhymes with "George Takei.")

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!!
