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."

Kirk: “Sulu, is that phaser in your pocket?”
Sulu: “No Capitan, I’m just happy to see you”.
Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexuals had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.
John 3:16
Revelation 3:20
I think the gay ceremony ends with;
“...who wants fudge?”
Even the background signs witness against them: "One Way", "Do Not [Enter]"...
Rock Hudson and Liberace should have lived to see this!
From “Family Guy” Season 5:
Peter Griffin: Look, I-I know what I did was wrong. [he and Hartman walk into the house] But, you’re the only one I can turn to. [takes his hat off] So, I’m asking you. As a man with no more options...will you take a look in my ass?
Dr. Hartman: [sighs] Despite everything that’s happened, I suppose I can’t ignore my Hippocratic Oath. Alright, drop your pants. [Peter pulls his pants and underpants down. Dr. Hartman puts on a rubber glove] Oh, well this is nothing. Just a little swelling. Probably a minor infection. Looks like there’s some blockage. What the devil is that?
Mr. Sulu: Hello...
Years ago, at a Sci Fi convention Sulu invited a couple of friends of mine to the hotel Bar, and after a couple of drinks hit on both of them.They are no longer fans.
Cut him some slack. George Takei was born in 1937. At his age this is less marriage then it is estate planning.
Captain Kirk - Course set for Uranus!
“Damn it, Jim, I’m a surgeon, not a sex therapist!”
Which prayer book are you quoting this from, the 1979? It surely is not from the 1928 BCP or previous prayer books.
It was a site on Jane Austin I found on the internet. I saw the recent BBC production with Colin Firth, and I really enjoyed it. I’m not sure which version it is.
At the end they have the voice over of the ceremony, with picture shorts of all the characters in the book where they have fallen short of the ideals embodied in the words. I thought it very well done.
Here’s the website. http://www.pemberley.com/janeinfo/compraym.html
LOL. That’s an exit, not an entry.
What if there are Klingons on Uranus?
