He was over in Scotland for a convention years back, and I got the impression from the people running it (friends of mine) that they knew way back then, and this con was in the very early 90s. Maybe it was an open secret? I must admit when I saw this thread I was surprised - thought everyone knew about that one. Ah well, since I don't want to be sued by George Takei over something I write about him on a forum, I should probably shut up now! :-D

This is no shocker... I met him and his partner on a gay cruise before. I guess it was somewhat of an open secret though... gay Trekkies knew well in advance in one form or another.

It is truly sad that he (or anyone) had to keep a nearly two decade long relationship "secret" - though as said above apparently it wasn't something that his friends didn't know about.
Actually, I'm just glad he's doing well. When I saw his picture in the news I was afraid it was going to say that he had joined Bones and Scotty.

Well, intrinsically? No, of course not. But sexual orientation is obviously still a huge issue in most parts of the world.
