I imagine many basement-dwelling Trekkers are feeling conflicted over today’s news that George Takei just came out of the Enterprise’s closet (not that there’s anything wrong with that…)

LOS ANGELES – George Takei, who as helmsman Sulu steered the Starship Enterprise through three television seasons and six movies, has come out as a homosexual in the current issue of Frontiers, a biweekly Los Angeles magazine covering the gay and lesbian community.

Takei told The Associated Press on Thursday that his new onstage role as psychologist Martin Dysart in “Equus,” helped inspire him to publicly discuss his sexuality.

The current social and political climate also motivated Takei’s disclosure, he said.

No surprise to anyone who’s listened to the Howard Stern show over the past several years. Do the Sulu Dance! (h/t: Frostyland)
