I'm not a full fledged Trekkie, but I liked the show too.
Doesn't matter to me if Mr. Takei is gay.

In the annals of "Stunningly unexpected closet exits" this one will rank just ahead of Ellen Degeneres and just behind Elton John's.

So, that look of terror Sulu had when Lee Meriwether's character threatened to touch him wasn't good acting...
