Lt Sulu to marry boyfriend of 21 years 10005 views

George Takei, who played Lt Sulu in the original Star Trek, is going to marry his boyfriend Brad Altman. The couple have been together for 21 years and finally, thanks to the recent change in California law, can wed. Takei was planning on proposing to Brad, but was pipped at the post when Brad got down on one knee and asked him first.

Takei, 51, said he and business partner Altman would have married years ago had they been allowed to. They are planning to marry sometime after mid-June and definitely before November. In November an antigay-marriage initiative could be added to the California ballot and thus overturn such unions. Warp speed Mr Sulu.
