George Takei, who as helmsman Sulu steered the Starship Enterprise through three television seasons and six movies, has come out as a homosexual in the current issue of Frontiers, a biweekly Los Angeles magazine covering the gay and lesbian community.

OMG! Sulu's gay! Well, they had a lech as captain, a grumpy russian at weapons, a green blooded repressed guy at science, the black chick, a country bumpkin doctor, I guess all that was left was someone to be gay. Makes sense in a weird way.
