Captain, lovers off the starboard bow! George Takei—Star Trek‘s beloved Mr. Sulu—married Brad Altman, his partner of 21 years, in a Buddhist ceremony on Saturday, followed by a reception at the Japanese American National Museum. The couple, who announced their plans to wed when the California supreme court legalized gay marriage, made their entrance to “One” from A Chorus Line. “We have a relationship that’s been stronger and longer lived than some of our straight friends, and yet we were not equal,” said Takei. What this does is give us that dignity.”
Your eyes don’t deceive you—that is indeed Chekov and Uhura walking behind the happy couple. Walter Koenig was the best man at the ceremony, with Nichelle Nichols serving as maid of honor. Live long and prosper, you two. [Telegraph]
