If you didn’t see this coming…
...might I suggest you get your GayDar looked at by a qualified repair technician?
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.
Takei described the character as a “very contained but turbulently frustrated man.” The play opened Wednesday at the David Henry Hwang Theater in Los Angeles, the same day that Frontiers magazine featured a story on Takei’s coming out.
The current social and political climate also motivated Takei’s disclosure, he said.
“The world has changed from when I was a young teen feeling ashamed for being gay,” he said. “The issue of gay marriage is now a political issue. That would have been unthinkable when I was young.”
I’m glad he feels comfortable enough to just say it now. Good for you, George. Kudos. Now I get to make fun of you though. It’s like a rule or something...you *need* to be made fun of for thinking we didn’t know, dude. There are only like 4 kinds of gay. You got your normal regular guy, then you got your stereotypical lisping flamboyant, your cross-dressing lunatic and the creepy old man who speaks slow, usually with a weird faux-Brit thing happening. Guess which one you are? :)
Best comment yet: a headline submitted to TotalFark: ”Mr. Sulu, set phasers on FABULOUS!”

... Damn, my gaydar is on the fritz and I might actually need the damn thing.
That’s actually pretty cool, though. Now if only Mulgrew would grow a pair and admit that she was the one going all gooey when looking into Jeri Ryan’s big, beautiful… eyes.
