Sulu No Longer Solo

Howard Stern Show regular, Hiro's father on Heroes, and the author of To the Stars: The Autobiography of George Takei, Star Trek's Mr. Sulu was one of the first to obtain a same-sex marriage license yesterday in West Hollywood, California with his longtime partner Brad Altman.

"I think it's a glorious California morning to make history," said Takei "Congratulations to all of us: May equality live long and prosper." I caught him giving the Vulcan salute on CNN after that speech. It was awesome.

According to Out Loud

Takei and Altman plan to marry Sept. 14 in the Democracy Forum at the Japanese National Museum in Los Angeles.

Walter Koenig, who played Chekov in "Star Trek," will be the best man and Nichelle Nichols, who played Uhura, will be the matron of honor. Castmate Leonard Nimoy will be among the 200 guests, but probably not William Shatner. Takei has said Shatner didn't treat him and most of the cast very well.
