Another Wedding!

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Love Line

georgetakei__opt1.jpg

We have another celebrity wedding to look forward to now that it is legal for gays and lesbians to get married in the wonderful state of California!

In addition to Ellen and Portia's walk down the aisle, we'll soon see Star Trek icon George Takei and his partner Brad Altman take the plunge, too!

George posted a joyous announcement on his website.

Her says:

Our California dream is reality. Brad Altman and I can now marry. We are overjoyed! At long last, the barrier to full marriage rights for same-sex couples has been torn down. We are equal with all citizens of our state!

The California Supreme Court has ruled that all Californians have a fundamental right to marry the person he or she loves. Brad and I have shared our lives together for over 21 years. We've worked in partnership; he manages the business side of my career and I do the performing. We've traveled the world together from Europe to Asia to Australia. We've shared the good times as well as struggled through the bad. He helped me care for my ailing mother who lived with us for the last years of her life. He is my love and I can't imagine life without him. Now, we can have the dignity, as well as all the responsibilities, of marriage. We embrace it all heartily…For now, Brad and I are enjoying the delicious dilemma of deciding where, when, and how we will be married. Marriage equality took a long time, but, like fine wine, its bouquet is simply exquisite.

Congratulations!

Mr. Sulu rules!

    I'm really glad gay marraige is finally legal… but I can't help it..

    I wonder if celebrity gay marraiges will last longer than celebrity hetero marraiges?

  18. VirginiaG says – reply to this

    wow………that touched my heart.
    and to think stopping that is what all those judgmental people call a sin and a hurt to the objective of marriage.
    that sure is not what I see. I see people crying out in joy at the prospect of being able to get married to their loves.
    how can the human race continue to fight a battle that is so wrong and so hurtful.
    there are so many battles out there needing the fight, child abuse, sexual abuse, health care for all, energy crisis - just to name a few as there are tons.
    get a grip people - find a fight that is worthy and stop abusing people for being different.

    It's about time! Committment is committment. How many heteros get divorced, cheat, and/or abuse within the sanctity of "marriage?" How many heteros procreate without giving it as much thought as an order at a McDonald's drive-thru? At least gay unions won't be continuously populating the world with more unwanted humans, and their divorce rate will certainly be no higher than hetero unions. I wish you all well.

    Perez for someone, who claims to be gay, you have a tendency to cheapen same sex relationships in your blogs. Is this a sign that you suffer from deep self hatred.

    you people who think love is disgusting really need to check yourselves… you're the disgusting ones. no one cares what "Leviticus" says, funny how the "bible" reflects the prejudices of the MEN who wrote it, that book also says slavery is okay when we KNOW it isn't. So just get over it.

    I wish these 2 the best!!! 21 years of togetherness, it's about time they could marry!

  36. get some courage says – reply to this

    Re: Johnny Rocko – YOU should come out of the closet! the more homophobic a person is, the more likely they are to be gay and have repressed their true feelings… so learn to accept yourself!

  37. rory says – reply to this

    Yay! I am so happy for them and the thousands of couples that can make it "official!" I hope that this right spreads to other states as well.

    Reading people's reactions like THIS makes it even more of an amazing accomplishment for California…and makes it even more maddening that is didn't happen earlier… :)

  40. Laura says – reply to this

    AWWW!! How can you not be touched by that? People who are happy with their own lives want others to be happy and in love, whether it's with a man or a woman. Hopefully the rest of the states in this nation will follow CA's lead so we can finally look back at our denial of this rite to ALL members of this country and wonder how we could ever have been so naive.

    Re: No – The ceremony will be held in the bathroom if only your face will serve as the toilet seat.

    Aww, that is so wonderful! I am delighted for all who can finally celebrate their marriage in a ceremony we've all been taught to desire since we were children.

    Kudos to California!

    And to all the naysayers: F*** off. Take your trash-a** for a long ride off a short pier. Narrowminded bigots.

    Man, I actually teared up. That was so beautiful! Congrats to the happy couple and thank god SOMEONE got their head on straight, hopefully California will set the trend for the rest of the nation.

    As for the terrible comments on here from "Johnny Rocko" and other's, I would personally be hiding in a dark a closet and crying my pathetic ass to sleep every night if I were half as ignorant and uneducated as you. When you have an IQ below 75, you should not advertise it to others. I'm just sayin'…

    Mr. Takei is a wonderful and entertaining gay, but he should never be allowed to legally marry another man.

  49. againstthepimpparents says – reply to this

    Hooray for George and Brad. Anyone who has been in a loving committed relationship for 21 years deserves to be able to marry. Hopefully the rest of the U.S. will take a clue from California.

    This is the land of repbulican wht trsh and violent minorites who dont like gays,we get it,but having said that im glad that gay marriage is now the law,about time and im glad that it was republican judges who decide it, so it can shut up the rightwing bs about liberal judges,the judges ruled in the only way that they could and it shows sometimes republicans can be decent

    Who really cares? What is it with rights for everyone except straight people? Why can't straight people who choose to shack up have the same benefit? They look at us like WE'RE gay!

  62. Hannah says – reply to this
    62

    Congratulations!

    I hope everyone that has something derogatory to say about this realizes that their ignorance will never be tolerated, and advances in equal rights such as this clearly prove their hate-filled opinions wrong. Go California, and I wish this soon-to-be-married couple all the best!

    That is so beautiful. People should be able to marry the person they love everywhere in the world. That is giving every person the right to make their own choices and be happy the way they want to.
    To all those people who made bad comments here i hope someday you find a person to love so you will be able understand all the beautiful words George said about Brad. And it makes no difference if the person you love is a man or a woman.

    Let me just say to anyone who reads these posts, forget the haters- Life is so short, we only go around once so no one should ever be able to tell you who you can and cant love. Enjoy your life together and be proud you get to see the day another wall breaks down.
    Congratulations, Mr. Takei, best wishes to you and Brad, hope the wedding is lovely!
