George Takei Wedding Pictures — FIRST PICS

Star Trek legend George Takei, aka Sulu, holds hands with husband Brad Altman after tying the knot before 200 loved ones during a multi-cultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday.

As guests shot firecrackers into the air, the ceremony featured a Buddhist priest, Native American wedding bands, a Japanese Koto harp and a bagpipe procession. Several of his Star Trek costars were in attendance including Nichelle Nichols (Uhura), who was maid of honor, and Walter Koenig (Chekhov), who was the best man.

Takei, 71, and Altman, 54, married after being partners for 21 years. The couple received their marriage license back in June, shortly after California announced its same-sex marriage ruling.

Y’all are completely right, i agree with all of that.
And Congrats Brad and George couldn’t be happier
<3

hooray for legal gay marriages! congrats to them!

Congrats to George and Brad.

With that said…

I don’t think we need to resort to name calling when discussing the topics at hand. (I’m not trying to tell you not to, I’m just saying I don’t think it’s necessary.)

First of all, in regards to the statement that says: “letâ��s also hope that someday we have far right politicians that make homosexual anything illegal, letâ��s see how the gays like it when the wind blows the other way.” … either you’re not up on your history or you’ve simply forgotten it, but there was a time when “homosexual anything” was illegal. Well, I mean except for beating homosexuals, killing homosexuals, using extreme methods of aversion therapy on homosexuals, firing homosexuals (for merely being homosexuals), placing homosexuals in mental institutions and much more… Hell, since the invention of the “gay panic defense” one can even use their victim’s sexual orientation to legally justify their crime. It is statements such as the one I’ve just quoted that makes it extremely difficult to let go of the pain and fear.

Whenever I hear/read comments such as those put forth by the “anti” contingent here, I pause and wonder… if you became close friends with someone, new them for years, and they came out to you after all that time… what would you say or do? Think about it this way… imagine your closest friend making such a revelation. Think about it *carefully*

As for Al-Jur-Ari Mudeet’s post…
Ah yes, the need for rules, laws, order… control. And assimilation. You should know about that one, seeing as you feel using a sci-fi show as a standard bearer for reality. What did they think about assimilation?

Regarding nudity… c’mon… I think we all know you don’t really think they’re equal, especially considering the fact that the marriages (and relationships) are consensual acts and walking around in the nude outside of a designated area is not.

Completely agree #30! And congrats Brad and George!

Sulu’s çock has boldly gone where no man has gone before. Good for him.

Aww go Sulu… I mean congrats… they look happy!

It’s sweet that they can look so happy and excited after being together for 21 years. Congrats to them!!! No one has the right to tell someone else who they can love.

Congratulations. I hope soon gay marriege will be legal here in my country! Everyone deserves to be happy.

Oh gag gag –pass me the barf bag.

Aww, these guys are really sweet - they look so very happy together!

Mazel Tov!! Congratulations!! It is about time- they have been together longer than most married couples. They deserve every happiness-and anyone that can’t see that is an ignorant , selfish a-hole. I have been a Star Trek fan forever and I believe Gene Roddenberry is smiling down from Heaven right now. in his vision of the future all people would be equal no matter their color, gender or religious beliefs or where they came from. He populated his ships with all kinds of people working together and I am sure had the times been different he would have portrayed gays in Star Trek. Maybe this is the first step in moving toward that better world. I hope they will live longer and prosper together.

Congrats to George and Bard for finally legalizing their relationship and commitment to each other.

it’s not right.

Sarah!: Sarah Pahlin, is that youuu? How’s Bristol? :)

Live long and prosper George and Brad! Congrats to you both.

Mister Sulu, lay in a new course for Uranus.

21 yrs together! if anyone can be around the same person for that long and they still love each other then i say that deserves all the respect in the world! its a shame they couldnt have gotten married sooner…this kinda makes me believe that love can last,its beautiful.
if some people cant see that then i feel sorry for them ,god is supposed to be about love and if you worship a god thats all about hate then maybe your worshipping the wrong thing…….love, peace , music and liberty to the happy couple as bob marley would say……..

Its Brokeback All Oveeer Again Haa
Good For Them
