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
Tom Cruise?
Ummmm First!!!!
There is always the obvious:
Tom Cruise & Dennis Rodman
Rosie Odonnell.
Darn! Someone beat me to it!! lol
Tim Robbins
Vin Diesel
Richard Simmons.
Keanu Reeves
um… Scott McCollum!
Ben Affleck
Matt Damon
Robin Williams
The Artist formerly known as Prince
Michael Jackson
All those guys from “Kids in the Hall”
All those guys on SNL
All the white guys on Mad TV
Michael Jackson has already done it. I’m still not convinced, however.
The only thing shocking about this story is that it WASN’T Will Wheaton
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?
Tom Cruise is gay, but the shocking part is that he had Michael Jackson knock-up Katie Holmes for him.
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.
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.
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!!!
I think George Takei should be on the Supreme Court.
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?
How About,
Frank J?
Just joking…
Michael Jackson And
Well…Michael Jackson
Oh my!
I’d love to see one of the “Queer Eye” guys come out as actually being straight.
It does explain the smile on his face every time he said “Shuttlecraft in hangarbay, Captain.”
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.)
Uh, who didn’t know George Takei was gay… before now?
And, Hmmm, Boy George!
Can’t believe I am first with this one: Richard Gere.
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”.
Carson Kressley from QE…I swear he’s actually straight.
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”.
“It’s “Big Boo-TAY! TAY! TAY!”
Puts his Star Trek 4 line into a new light, it does…
“San Francisco. I was born here.”
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.
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?
Honestly, who is surprised that Mr. Takei takes it up the Shatner? He does work in Hollywood, after all.
…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!
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 f***s up on SUPERMAN… It’s bad enough he already hired that homo emo looking Brandon Routh to be his queer eye Superdude…
