This was his Facebook post after this:

Here's a little Internet tip: If you feel offended by something someone else posts, remember two simple rules:

(1) It's not about you.
(2) If you try to make it about you, you'll sound ridiculous.

He is awesome!

(The new Sulu is not too bad either! I liked the new film and really thought the cast is spot on except for Checkov...but they nailed Spock, Kirk, McCoy and Uhura.)

You may inspire others to demand remuneration from Mr. Takei for damages--class action suit, because I'm thinking he probably owes keyboards to a LOT of people!

Did anybody see his "Snow White and the Seven Worfs"? It was a composite photo. The Disney Snow White was surrounded by seven identical photos of the Klingon Lt. Worf in "Star Trek the Next Generation" and "Deep Space Nine." And underneath each of the seven photos was the name "Grumpy". So it was "Snow White" and "Grumpy," "Grumpy," "Grumpy," "Grumpy," "Grumpy," "Grumpy," and "Grumpy"!!!

30. I'm a traditional marriage fan

and I'm also a fan of gay marriage too.

If a gay couple wants to get married and adopt a kid, I say good for the kid. There'll never be an "oops" baby in any of those cases. If a gay couple has a child, it is there because both parents desperately want the child and they are willing to devote themselves 100% to their family. The same can't be said for all "traditional" families.
