George Takei + Brad Altman = Married
71-year-old actor George Takei, best known for his role as ‘Dr. Sulu’ on “Star Trek” and his gay-partner of 21 years Brad Altman have agreed to “live long and prosper” together.
Takei and the 54-year-old Altman were married Sunday at the Japanese American National Museum by a Buddhist priest who pronounced them “spouses for life” as a Native American bagpiper played and family and press looked on.
Takei said:
“We have a relationship that’s been stronger and longer-lived than some of our straight friends, and yet we were not equal,. What this does is give us that dignity; (it’s) being part of the American system and being whole. We’re making the American system whole as well, as America is becoming more equal.”
Takei was an active participant in the civil rights movement, served as a Democratic delegate in 1972 and fought for redress Japanese people who were forced into internment camps after World War II.
