After being with his partner for almost two dozen years, George Takei can now plan a marriage.
As reported at GeorgeTakei.com, Takei is pleased that his same-sex relationship can lead to marriage in California with the recent decision of the California Supreme Court to permit same-sex marriage. "Our California dream is reality," said Takei. "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 further ruled that our Constitution provides for equal protection for all and that it cannot have marriage for one group and another form, domestic partnership, for another group," added Takei. "No more "separate but equal." No more second-class citizenship. Brad and I are going to be married as full citizens of our state."
"With time, I know the opposition to same sex marriage, too, will be seen as an antique and discreditable part of our history," said Takei. "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."

They can dream all they want but a homosexual relationship can never be equal to a man and woman, in a union blessed by God and fulfilling his plan for mutual help, procreation, and the continuation of life.
I would have pity on them if they weren’t trying to tear tradition and the world into pieces after their idea of a progressive utopia that can never be.
“Butt Trek” star, eh?
Sounds like a little domestic swordplay is in Sulu’s future.
I have no idea why gays think they would want this:
Marriage Ceremony from the Book of Common Prayer:
DEARLY beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God, and in the face of this congregation, to join together this Man and this Woman in holy Matrimony; which is an honourable estate, instituted of God in the time of man’s innocency, signifying unto us the mystical union that is betwixt Christ and his Church; which holy estate Christ adorned and beautified with his presence, and first miracle that he wrought, in Cana of Galilee; and is commended of Saint Paul to be honourable among all men: and therefore is not by any to be enterprised, nor taken in hand, unadvisedly, lightly, or wantonly, to satisfy men’s carnal lusts and appetites, like brute beasts that have no understanding; but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God; duly considering the causes for which Matrimony was ordained.
First, It was ordained for the procreation of children, to be brought up in the fear and nurture of the Lord, and to the praise of his holy Name.
Secondly, It was ordained for a remedy against sin, and to avoid fornication; that such persons as have not the gift of continency might marry, and keep themselves undefiled members of Christ’s body.
Thirdly, It was ordained for the mutual society, help, and comfort, that the one ought to have of the other, both in prosperity and adversity. Into which holy estate these two persons present come now to be joined. Therefore if any man can shew any just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace.
On ward, rump wranglers!
Well, he’s definitely warped.
Heh. Can't top that one!
Please send me a notice when they have a ‘baby shower’.

Don’t take it out on George, he isn’t on the Cali Supreme Court.
I saw him in an interview a few years back. He was playing the Asian victim card and sounding like a real jerk. He didn’t mention being a Queer tho.
“Please send me a notice when they have a ‘baby shower’.”
“Golden shower” is more likely!
Here in Santa Cruz I’m seeing signs at the lesbian/gay “shops” that say “WE’RE GETTING MARRIED!!”
Now, THAT’S Santa Cruz!!
Always wondered why he used to smirk so much. Now I know.
