George Takei to Marry
California's overturning of the same-sex marriage ban last week has prompted many gay and lesbian couples to start on wedding plans, including actor George Takei. Takei's role as Sulu in the "Star Trek" series has been an influence on generations of Asian American actors, and with Prop 22 now dissolved the veteran actor plans to wed Brad Altman, his partner of 21 years.

Read George's words on the parallels between racism he has faced as a Japanese American and the legal discrimination he has faced due to his sexual orientation here.

I have the utmost respect for George as he is an activist in both the Asian American and gay communities. Best wishes to him and Brad.
