It’s a remarkable history in the United States, but more in particularly, in the liberated state of California as George Takei, “Sulu” of “Star Trek”, obtains the new gay marriage license with partner Brad Altman. Takei and his partner have been together for 21 years, working co-inside as business partners and lovers. Talk about not mixing business with personal! But Takei and Altman couldn’t have done it better by stepping up with thousands of same-sex couples just waiting to get married. Like so many before them, gays and lesbians have been patiently waiting for this moment to be able to legally and officially tie-the-knot.

Takei, who had hoped to propose to Altman first, was quite surprised that he was beat at the bended knee. The lovely couple has set their wedding date to be on September 14, 2008, as the gender-neutral license is good for only 90 days. If only I could go! But just as Takei had said it,

May equality live long and prosper

and I salute him with the same Star Trek Vulcan greeting.
