Yawn, another gay Star Trek character......

George Takei thinks decision to make 'Star Trek' character gay is 'really unfortunate' - AOL

SULU!

It was clear that in his youth, Kirk would've tapped anything. Maybe that's what they mean.

I think he meant that the character--Sulu--was not gay. It has nothing to do with the actor who played Sulu.

Now, I was a fan of the original series and never followed the later incarnations so I don't know if there was a later character that was gay.

Kind of obvious if you had gay friends back in the day or had Gaydar. I also believe Nurse Chapel, Uhuru and Kirk had a three way. Kirk got miffed when they ignored him.

Kirk was always an over compensator for having short stuff.

I always thought that they were all happy to be on a well paying TV show?

I always thought Uhuru liked that green meat popping her from behind.

Another huge yawn...

There have been gay characters for years, just now we feel the need to wave the flag and say "LOOK AT ME! I'M GAY!".
