Sulu's Final Frontier: Coming Out

[rack'm]

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- 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.

Now we know where this man has gone before......

For many years, a network of female Star Trek fans published Kirk-does-Spock fanzines. Now they can have a threesome.

Do women fantasize about watching gay male action in the same way that men fantasize about woman-on-woman action, but won't publicly admit it? I'm sure most male Star Trek fans would readily admit to wanting to see Uhura, Yeoman Rand and Nurse Chapel in a threesome. (And for most of those guys, fantasy is the closest they'll get to intimate relations with a woman. )

It is no shocker that Sulu is gay. If you ever heard him on Howard Stern, it was obvious.

This is almost as surprising as when Ellen Degeneres came out!!!

I've never had that fantasy. I can watch women no problem but seeing two guys on film or elsewhere getting it on is gross to me. I did see a male on male film once on reel to reel it was funny cause the faster you wound it the faster they banged.

Ellen Degeneres is gay??????????!!!!!!!! That's impossible!

She's not gay, just no guy will touch her..

I only saw one episode of that show. You're not talking about Alyssa Milano, are you? On that episode, Danza and Judith Light were doing the will-they-or-won't-they routine. It was a lot funnier when Sam and Diane did the routine on Cheers.

Hey Tigerlily,

Movie night at my house!

Hey Tigerlily,

Movie night at my house!

Those were the good ole days indeed

 

[baileydog]

Do you think I can charge admission?

 

[Tigerlily]

Do you think I can charge admission?

Heck yeah!! Just make sure you loosen up that arm before the big show. You'll be winding away.

 

[baileydog]

The sound effects are the best. oh, ah, oh

 

[Tonio]

Do you think Sulu got excited every time Kirk said "Captain's Log"?

He loved setting course to Uranus.

(I was wondering how long it would take for this thread to turn ugly.)

And boldly go where no man has gone before.

(I'm surprised it took this long, quite honestly. )

Im sure lots of men have gone there.

I suspect that it probably involves Rosie O'Donnell or Ellen DeGeneres.
