Takei Gay, Mmmkay?
Posted by Scott McCollum at 12:53 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (38)

Tired of all the indictment and Supreme Court news today? How 'bout this bombshell: George Takei, the actor best known as Sulu from Star Trek, says he's a homosexual.

Uh-huh. Like many of you I reacted with a hearty "yeah, so?"

George Takei is a guy that complained to the media that William Shatner was trying to pull rank to block Sulu from commanding the U.S.S. Excelsior in Star Trek 6. "Pulling rank," Georgie? It's a friggin' TV SHOW! There's no such thing as Starfleet! There's no ship to command! You're a friggin' ACTOR, dude!

And so, another actor proclaims his homosexuality in Hollywood. Maybe if he did this in 1975 this would've been news, but in 2005 most people say: "Yeah, so what?"

You know what I wanna see? I wanna see something in Hollywood that is REALLY shocking: I wanna see male actors everyone thinks are homosexuals loudly and publicly proclaim their heterosexuality.

Got a list of guys in mind? Leave them in the Comments

Michael Jackson has already done it. I'm still not convinced, however.

#11 - Posted by: Russ on October 28, 2005 02:42 PM

The only thing shocking about this story is that it WASN'T Will Wheaton

#12 - Posted by: Vtwin on October 28, 2005 02:47 PM

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not surprised. It reminds me of all the folks who were "stunned" when Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford came out of the closet several years ago. I mean, who would've thunk it?

#13 - Posted by: crusher on October 28, 2005 02:57 PM

Tom Cruise is gay, but the shocking part is that he had Michael Jackson knock-up Katie Holmes for him.

#14 - Posted by: Joshua Nash on October 28, 2005 03:06 PM

Remember when the "guy friend" from 'Too Close For Comfort' went public, "admitting" that he is gay?

I sat there shaking my head, trying to understand on what plane of existence I SHOULDN'T be saying "wellll...yyeah?"

I feel the same way about George now.

Richard Simmons
ummm... Mark Hammill
Anyone who's appeared as a designer on TLC's "While You Were Out"

And Sulu is gay? Man, that came out of left field. I thought Chechkov would be the first to be outed.

#16 - Posted by: El Santo on October 28, 2005 03:10 PM

In what warped world does Sulu find it necessary to imply publicly that he gets an erection and a big smile when he meditates on naked men? Why do I give a flying F that Swoopes would rather touch a cooch than a coch? The whole "out of the closet" movement should easily fall within the "Too much information" category of public discourse. Just shut up. Cripes.

#17 - Posted by: ss on October 28, 2005 03:15 PM

I thought Sulu was a little too interested in the Captain's Log! Seems he always wanted to hang around Uranus! Beam Me Up Scotty! Thank You...Thank You very Much!!!

#18 - Posted by: USS Jimmy Carter Attack Submarine on October 28, 2005 03:25 PM

I think George Takei should be on the Supreme Court.

#19 - Posted by: Laurence Simon on October 28, 2005 03:40 PM

Laurence, dude!! Brilliant!! The first Asian-american, gay and actor Supreme Court justice in history. A three-fer!

And, btw. Did anyone notice the picture that CNN used in the story? Could they have possibly found a gayer photo of him?

#20 - Posted by: Russ on October 28, 2005 03:55 PM

How About,
Frank J?
Just joking...

Michael Jackson And
Well...Michael Jackson

#21 - Posted by: The Great Rindo on October 28, 2005 04:18 PM

Oh my!

#22 - Posted by: George Takei on October 28, 2005 05:01 PM

I'd love to see one of the "Queer Eye" guys come out as actually being straight.

#23 - Posted by: Infinity8Ball on October 28, 2005 05:55 PM

It does explain the smile on his face every time he said "Shuttlecraft in hangarbay, Captain."

#24 - Posted by: Bob in Feenicks on October 28, 2005 06:51 PM

Rupert Everett! That's the one! I would totally love it if he were straight....And Jeremy Northam....If they're cute and British, I think they need to proclaim their heterosexuality. (Full disclosure...I am, in fact, a girl despite my name. My parents were expecting a boy.)

#25 - Posted by: Deon on October 28, 2005 08:19 PM

Uh, who didn't know George Takei was gay... before now?

And, Hmmm, Boy George!

#26 - Posted by: LokiDoki on October 28, 2005 10:55 PM

Can't believe I am first with this one: Richard Gere.

#27 - Posted by: Keith Emery on October 29, 2005 01:09 AM

First of all, there is no doubt that Tim Robbins is hetero, although with a rather bad case of arrested sexual development. I guarantee that at home he calls Susan Sarandon "mommy".

Second, regardless of Takei's sexuality, you CANNOT dislike anyone who appeared in the greatest movie of all time "Buckaroo Banzi".

#28 - Posted by: TomB on October 29, 2005 06:54 AM

Carson Kressley from QE...I swear he's actually straight.

#29 - Posted by: JermCool on October 29, 2005 11:25 AM

Mark Hamill is quite straight, though he hasn't officially come out of the hetero closet yet.

And it isn't possible to dislike a film with aliens who are named "John Smallberries".

#30 - Posted by: Nanashi on October 29, 2005 11:28 AM

"It's "Big Boo-TAY! TAY! TAY!"

#31 - Posted by: TomB on October 29, 2005 11:35 AM

Puts his Star Trek 4 line into a new light, it does...

"San Francisco. I was born here."

#32 - Posted by: SabreMau on October 31, 2005 01:18 AM

This explains why he was casted as an south vientamese officer in 'The Green Berets'. Of course the US Army did not allow gays in thier ranks at the time.

#33 - Posted by: CHOW on October 31, 2005 03:51 AM

Elijah Wood and Sean Astin really got TOO ridiculous with the long drawn out staring in "Return of the King" so I want THESE two on the list, with apologies to "Rudy" fans.

"Elijah Wood and Sean Astin really got TOO ridiculous with the long drawn out staring in "Return of the King" so I want THESE two on the list, with apologies to "Rudy" fans."

You noticed the gay hobbit love scenes, too, huh?

#35 - Posted by: Rantypants on October 31, 2005 04:13 PM

Honestly, who is surprised that Mr. Takei takes it up the Shatner? He does work in Hollywood, after all.

#36 - Posted by: Dr. E. Scientist, phD. on November 1, 2005 06:48 AM

...it really doesn't matter who is gay and who isn't...one is recognized by his or her good works...we are in the y2k's; and, who cares who or what he or she f*&$s. btw, katie holmes was impregnated by nicole kidman!

#37 - Posted by: aoetera on November 4, 2005 09:42 AM

Seriously who cares about George Takei, and his penis loving ass anyway?
He's nothing more then a one hit wonder.
What else has he ever done besides Star Trek? NOTHING!
If William Shatner had come out then that would be news.. But George Takei... Give me a brake.
George Takei go suck a nut you fag, and stop trying to capture another 15minutes of fame.
It's no wonder they wouldn't let him be the captain of a Star ship in the movies lol can't have a faggot in the captain chairs.
That would result in nothing but neon colors, and nipples in there suits... um oh wait that's kind of what happened when they let a faggot direct a couple of batman movies lol... Cant wait to see how much Bryan "Cocksucker" Singer fucks up on SUPERMAN... It's bad enough he already hired that homo emo looking Brandon Routh to be his queer eye Superdude...
