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."

California Court Legalizes Same-Sex “Marriage”
In a 4-3 decision, the California Supreme Court declared same-sex “marriage” legal in the state. The Courts ruling came in a case filed by gay couples who were married at San Francisco City Hall in 2004, when Mayor Gavin Newsom (D) was issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The decision overturns a 2000 voter-approved measure that declared marriage to be a union between a man and a woman.
In the decision, Chief Justice Ron George wrote The notion that a marriage can only be between a man and woman is outmoded. Times change. Our laws must change with them.
The opinion also cited a University of California demographic study that forecast a majority homosexual state population by the year 2033. Inasmuch as research indicates that a majority of the states population will eventually be homosexual, it seems prudent that we accommodate this emerging majority by granting them the full rights of citizenship now. George wrote. To not do so would establish a precedent that would permit this homosexual majority to outlaw heterosexual marriage.
