Wedding News from George Takei

I'm pleased to help spread the word ...

Marriage Equality Comes to California By George Takei
Our California dream is reality. Brad Altman and I can now marry. We are overjoyed! At long last, the barrier to full marriage rights for same-sex couples has been torn down. We are equal with all citizens of our state!

The California Supreme Court has ruled that all Californians have a fundamental right to marry the person he or she loves. Brad and I have shared our lives together for over 21 years. We've worked in partnership; he manages the business side of my career and I do the performing. We've traveled the world together from Europe to Asia to Australia. We've shared the good times as well as struggled through the bad. He helped me care for my ailing mother who lived with us for the last years of her life. He is my love and I can't imagine life without him. Now, we can have the dignity, as well as all the responsibilities, of marriage. We embrace it all heartily.


I'll have to keep an eye out for this wedding, so I can throw them some virtual rice. It's so sweet!

Wow! George Takei is gay? I did not know this.
Yes, he came out some time ago. Not only is he gay, but he's an actor with more than two decades of stable relationship behind him. Not one in a hundred straight people in Hollywood can manage that, and pressure on gay couples is higher because they get shortchanged on most of the social support that married couples get.

Wow, that's awesome! (About his long relationship, that is.)
