‘Warp drive’ in California
US actor George Takei is to wed his long-term partner after California lifted its ban on same-sex marriage.
Takei, 71, best known for playing Mr Sulu in Star Trek, said he and Brad Altman were going through the “delicious dilemma” of where to marry.
The actor and 54-year-old Mr Altman have been together for 21 years.
“We can have the dignity, as well as all the responsibilities, of marriage. We embrace it all heartily,” Takei wrote on his website.
‘Good times’
Takei, who recently appeared in the popular US TV series Heroes, added: “We’ve worked in partnership; he manages the business side of my career and I do the performing.
“We’ve travelled the world together from Europe to Asia to Australia. We’ve shared the good times as well as struggled through the bad.
