Quote from: comment #2 to the articleI saw George <Takei, 'Mr. Sulu' from Star Trek,> speak a couple years ago - he was the speaker for the Asian-American heritage month event at the federal agency I was working for. The person introducing him, a political appointee from one of the more conservative agencies, read his entire bio to us, word-for-word from the program, oh-so-conveniently skipping the part about his work for gay-lesbian-transgender organizations.

He brought it up in his speech and received a standing ovation from the 100+ audience. Pretty much everyone but the front row of attendees. Schweeet!
