George Takei - Played  Zulu, is gay...   ;D

Indeed he is, and proud. He has been through a lot (not just because of being gay), thank goodness now he is an old man he sees a better society.  He always strikes me as being charming and dignified - maybe it's his deep voice which seems incongruous with his small stature  :D.

I wonder if Mr Takei has or has had a long term partner?  I'll look him up.
Edit:  Yes, Brad Altman with whom he lived for donkey's years and married in 2008.  That's good to know, I like George and would want him to be happy.  Mr Altman took the name 'Takei'.

Maybe you could have checked?
... as I said....
That explains sooo much!

I guess my slip is a drop of water in the ocean compared to the tidal wave your lack of checking the bible when commenting on Christ and Christian things on threads. It would also explain why my little drop of water would explain so much to you. Pity you never saw your own tidal wave sweep your nonsense away... At least mine was a drop of water, you just got completely drowned with the deluge of your errors for not checking the bible when it comes to Christianity...

Little or big slips of water or making mountains out of molehills, this seems like a very petty thing to make a big deal out of.  I wish people wouldn't worry so much about trivia.  I'm sure George Takei (Mr Sulu in Star Trek), doesn't care, nor Zulu or Zoulu who played Mr Kono in Hawaii Five O.   For the record, I watched Star Trek back in the day, just not seen it online.

Maeght is quite right, you can't believe everything you read on the internet.

Yet they still made a petty thing a big deal. Simply because that is what they do. To try and hide their bigger blunders.
Like the moonlandings? Do you think the truth is out there?

I couldn't give a monkey's about moon landings but I do think fiction is more interesting than truth in some instances, which is why I prefer novels to factual books.

Is the bible a factual book?

I'd have thought you would have known the answer to that one better than I, young Sass  :D.  You read it more than I do.

As an aside - in 1987 George was recruited as the Chieftain of my local (Bearsden and Milngavie) Highland Games.

I'd normally avoid these things like the plague, being a Scot who hates the sound of bagpipes and all the related 'white heather club' baggage, but I couldn't resist going along to see George and shake his hand - which I did - he was absolute gent and had time for everyone, signing countless autographs (this is well before the advent of 'selfies') and posing for pics - and lots of 'trekkies' from all across the UK were in attendance.

Mr Sulu in a kilt was a sight to behold (see pic in the link below - it cycles through various chieftains, which included Red Rum).

Everyone thought he was just great!

I have just seen this disgusting story on another forum. If true, it just goes to underline the depravity of anti-gay bigots. >:( It is them that are sick in the head and need a cure , not lesbians and gays.

People who go around suggesting somebody is gay are pathetic and repulsive. They obviously need to deal with their mental problems.

Why don't you work on your own sex life and get you nose out of others.

I look forward to the day when Christianity along with other religions does the same.

Shaking,
Your looking forward to that are ya. So when that happens you will what,  bake a cake , gobble down another bowl of boiled lentils, actually walk two blocks, scrape the glitter off your toenails? I haven't heard the pope nor my preacher suggesting anybody is gay. Neither of them have talked about my sex life either and I doubt they have mentioned yours.

No but they seem to have an abnormal degree of interest in sex lives if they're between two people of the same sex, or give rise to unwanted pregnancies. In those cases they're all over other people's sex lives like the white on rice. The cuddly, friendly, smiley Pope having been a staunch opponent of marriage equality in his native country, for example, regarding it as being inspired by Satan.

Happily Argentina ignored the fool and did the right thing.

Me too! Let them believe any daft stuff they like, but let them keep their evil thoughts about harmless people to themselves.
