George Takei reveals: William Shatner was 'oblivious' he was gay
Â
TweetÂ
Even though Star Trek's own original Mr. Suluâ€"actor George
Takeiâ€"came out as a gay man a good part of a decade ago, it seems
most of his Star Trek colleagues back in the the day were already well
aware of the actor's sexual preferences even though at the time he was
still in the closet. All but a certain someone who remained completely
oblivious of that fact for, well ... decades.
In an interview with Mother Jones , George Takei spoke about Japanese
internment camps, his involvement as an activist andâ€"of
courseâ€"the fact that he is a gay man.
The actor also talked about his perhaps-not-so-closeted-days when he was
on Star Trek: TOS (1966-1969).
Asked by the interviewer whether Takei was out of the closet during his
Star Trek days the actor said:
No. I was quietly out with a very small circle of my gay friends. I went
to gay bars and I was a member of a gay running club, you know, but we
knew the social climate. At bars I sometimes recognized other actors. We
might nod and smile, maybe have a brief conversation but when we'd
encounter each other on the studio lot we played as though that hadn't
happened.
George Takei then went on to discuss the fact that even though he was
not officially out of the closet, most of the Star Trek cast knew the
actor was gay. Except from one very oblivious William Shatner aka Capt.
James T. Kirk:
Most of them knew, but they were cool. They knew what impact it could
have on an actor's career. Once I was at work chatting with Walter
Koenig, who played Pavel Chekov, and he started gesturing at a group of
young extras who were dressed in the Starfleet shirt. There was a
gorgeous young guy with a fantastic build and that tight shirt on him
and that's when I knew that Walter knew. I turned back to him and he was
grinning. He was helping me out! Bill [Shatner] was oblivious. In fact,
when he was on the Howard Stern Show, Howard had me call in and chat
with Bill. I mentioned Brad and he didn't know who Brad was. Everybody
knew! We had a very public wedding. Bill says, "Who's Brad?"
How ... NOT surprising. Don't you guys agree?

George Takei has proved himself an embittered man. So William Shatner
didn't make an issue or take notice of George's perversions. So what?
Just another in a long list of items George uses to excuse his
jealousy of Shatner.
Yawn.

Tangental note: I do wonder sometimes how many men who rail against the
"perversions" of homosexuals have gigabites of lesbian porn on their hard
drives, without the slightest sense of irony?

True! Same with the Lesbians
I knew a girl "couple", but they still had a bit of the interest in an opposite sex, whether they knew it or not. :-P
I just think for Shatner though... he might have known, just refuses to "acknowledge" it, because of his ... well, if you want to call it a career. Also for the fact that he may not want to "associate" with certain things.

It's Hollywood. Why should a star like William Shatner keep tabs of
every faggot actor he has ever had to share the stage during his
entire career? Sulu was barely a character on Star Trek.
What makes queer faggots think they are so fucking fabulous and
deserving of all the attention just because they suck sperm out of a
penis when it isn't rammed up their anus?
What drama queens. Why not kevitch about you kindergarten teach who
didn't give you that gold star you felt you deserved for squeezing a
piece of clay with your butt cheeks into a unicorn?
