    • Fracture98, on 09/15/2008, -13/+6You mean deep throaty voice.
      • josephbloseph, on 09/15/2008, -5/+1Maybe throw a comma in there;

        deep, throaty voice.

        People still get it, and I think it reads better.
      • LilJimmyNordin, on 09/15/2008, -8/+4deep throat, y voice.

    • salomejones, on 09/15/2008, -1/+25Nope, Tom Cruise too.
      • scott88008, on 09/15/2008, -0/+5I read an article indicating that men who accuse people like Cruise of being gay tend to be repressed homosexuals.
      • Kral, on 09/16/2008, -0/+8That article was written by Tom Cruise.
      • salomejones, on 09/16/2008, -0/+4There's nothing repressed about me.
      • grovest4life, on 09/16/2008, -2/+2@ salmomejones So your admitting that your gay then.
      • salomejones, on 09/16/2008, -0/+3Is there something wrong with being gay, grovest4life? I can't for the life of me think of why you'd ask if I was "admitting" it unless you have some kind of problem with homosexuality.
  • seltaeb4, on 09/15/2008, -8/+174Set phasers on "buns."

    (I just couldn't resist the bad pun.)

    Seriously, though, congratulations and every happiness to Mr. Takei and Mr. Altman!!! :D

      • housewarmer, on 09/15/2008, -2/+9"Set phasers on Fabulous!"

        Sorry, I also couldn't resist. But yes, that's fantastic. Thank goodness at least a couple of States have a rational marriage policy.
    • bbtrev, on 09/15/2008, -29/+4Think you mean Mr and Mrs Takei :)
      Or is it Mr and Mrs Altman?....this stuff is just too confusing.

  • Spamiclese, on 09/15/2008, -13/+233Congratulations to the newlyweds. I hope this is a sign of things to come in this country. I am a happily married heterosexual and I believe everyone has the right to wed the person they love.
    • unsigneddigger, on 09/15/2008, -37/+23I guess we'll know we've made it there when you no longer feel the need to state that you are a happily married heterosexual and just say that you're happily married.
      • bicyclethief, on 09/15/2008, -4/+51Nice try but we all know you can't be happy and married.
      • housewarmer, on 09/15/2008, -2/+10Missing the point there. I believe that the intention was to illustrate that not all heterosexual couples live in fear of gay marriage.
    • MotleyTool, on 09/15/2008, -8/+25I guess we'll know we've made it there when you no longer feel the need to comment on other people's use of the phrase happily married heterosexual and instead shut the ***** up you smug git.
    • kingjam, on 09/15/2008, -48/+5Your gay
    • gnomemage7, on 09/15/2008, -3/+36Haha I feel the need to collectively apologize for the replies to your comment thus far.

      Being gay can be pretty isolating at times in our society and it really does make a difference every time anyone, regardless of orientation, expresses support for something so important to us.

      We appreciate the sentiment, trust me

    • kiiwii, on 09/15/2008, -2/+183 buries for this post... seriously? How can anyone bury "everyone has the right to wed the person they love"?
    • TheUngod, on 09/15/2008, -0/+7And, subsequently, divorce a person they used to love
      • bitterbug, on 09/15/2008, -7/+4You want them to stay married to someone they no longer love?
        For what? The "sake of the children"? Family honor? Religion?
        Yeah, that would be a lovely existence.

    • SreyaNotfilc, on 09/15/2008, -0/+12LOL. The first thing that came to my mind was Fred (from The Howard Stern Show) playing that sound bite over and over again. Does anyone know if Howard is covering this?

  • bicyclethief, on 09/15/2008, -7/+149Any couple who can stay together for 21 years is ***** impressive. Much continued happiness to them.
    • MotleyTool, on 09/15/2008, -13/+2These guys managed 20 years. See what happens when you stay together too long?

      http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/ar ...
    • lajaw, on 09/15/2008, -19/+2Why is it impressive? People used to stay together forever till the free lust crowd of the sixties. Also, now that they are "married", will they stay together? doubtful.
      • bicyclethief, on 09/15/2008, -0/+12Yes, yes. If we just go back to the 1950's, everything would be perfect...

      • edwartica, on 09/15/2008, -0/+7For one thing, its easier to come out and say there's domestic abuse - be it mental or physical. So while people don't always stay together forever nowadays, I think we've still made strides forwards.
      • mebethekoko, on 09/15/2008, -0/+5Doesn't that just make it more impressive that they've stayed together 21 years in the post-free lust world?

        The fact that people stayed together out of fear of social ostracisation makes those earlier long term relationships less impressive to me.
      • ProUSADigger, on 09/15/2008, -7/+2@bicyclethief

        Well, yes, almost.
      • SpinningHead, on 09/15/2008, -1/+5Yeah, the wonderful 50s...when teen pregnancy was at an all-time high and it was quite acceptable for married men to get some on the side.
    • SpinningHead, on 09/15/2008, -0/+6But doesn't this mean all of us in hetero marriages will suddenly find ourselves divorced? Isn't this supposed to destroy marriage or something?

      Sarcasm...just in case anyone is confused.
  • TheVirus, on 09/15/2008, -2/+29Glad they got married, I was worried after his bachelor party on Howard Stern's show. Congrats George and Brad.
  • jasongeneva, on 09/15/2008, -4/+57Huge congratulations, as they must be extremely happy to wed after waiting 21 years.

    Takei said: "We have a relationship that's been stronger and longer-lived than some of our straight friends and yet we were not equal."
  • sdcarter, on 09/15/2008, -2/+10Didn't he get married weeks ago? Like right after it was made legal?
    • ator1, on 09/15/2008, -0/+6He made the announcement then, but the actual wedding was over this past weekend.
      "You rascal, you!"
    • bunji, on 09/15/2008, -0/+6I think they just got the license issued then.

    • BoneheadFarker, on 09/15/2008, -2/+19Meh...it's probably for the best. He has a bad habit of stealing the show...
    • Blitzwing84, on 09/15/2008, -1/+7Actually, Shatner and Takei don't get along. Part of it stems from Shatner always mispronouncing his name as Ta-kaye, instead of Ta-kay....that and also Shatner just being an all around ass.

    • matthewkg, on 09/15/2008, -0/+5Walter Koenig (Chekov) was the best man, and Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) was the matron of honor.
      • seantubridy, on 09/15/2008, -0/+6And Shatner was no where to be found.
    • Kelmon, on 09/16/2008, -0/+2Well, a ship's captain does have the authority to marry people so it would have been quite poetic, particularly given the rest of the cast that were present.

    awesome.
    • lajaw, on 09/15/2008, -17/+2equality does not = liberty. Fools.
      • MacEnvy, on 09/15/2008, -1/+9You are one miserable human being, lajaw. This whole thread just burned you right up. It makes me wonder why you're so concerned with two people that you don't know and will never meet.

        It's one thing to wish a new couple well. It's quite another to take time out of your day to be nasty about it just for the sake of meanness. I hope someday you wake up and take a look around at the world you've created for yourself, but I doubt it.
      • pintomp3, on 09/15/2008, -1/+6it must really piss lajaw off to see people happy.

      And who the ***** are you?
      His spokeperson?
      • RealHyperX, on 09/15/2008, -4/+3Yes I am. My name is Bill Ayers. I approve this message.
    • mossrock, on 09/15/2008, -2/+5Obama said he defines marriage as a union between one man and one women, "I am not somebody who promotes same sex marriage, but I do believe in civil unions." http://rickwarrennews.com/transcript/
      • ericdano, on 09/15/2008, -5/+2Wow, he said something truthful and something I agree with? No way.
    • housewarmer, on 09/15/2008, -0/+3I'm sure he does. Doesn't stop you from being an ***** though.
  • neio, on 09/15/2008, -8/+6Are you quite sure the "Where no man has gone before"? bit is true...
  • hokie47, on 09/15/2008, -10/+38I am not sure if my marriage can survive this. Marriage used to be special but now anyone who is in love can get married. It's a nightmare. It has always been one man and one women. Why change it now? See what happened when we allowed women, and blacks to vote? Oh yeah nothing. My bad.
  • El-Taco, on 09/15/2008, -7/+14congrats. NO ON 8!!!! if you in cali!
  • peaceninja, on 09/15/2008, -3/+21kudos for progress. i can understand people being against a 'gay marriage', since the word marriage is a heavily religious word, in fact i think marriage should be a church-level definition and not a government definition. but anyone who thinks that any two people who love each other should be denied the basic rights of marriage deserves a punch to the throat
  • ericjohnson0, on 09/15/2008, -31/+5I'm guessing Brad plays 'the man.' Much like Rosie O'Donell...
    • qdkk, on 09/15/2008, -0/+6Why do you care about anyone's intimately private relationship? You sound perverted to care.
  • OneLess, on 09/15/2008, -2/+37"I can add 'my husband' to the list of things I call you," Takei said in his vows, which took place after the couple stepped into a circle of yellow roses. "I vow to care for you as you've cared for me…and to love you as my husband and the only man in my life."

    That is awesome :) Best of luck to them!

    As a side note, I met Mr. Takei about 7 years ago. He was one of the nicest stars I had ever met. He was genuinely friendly and happy to talk to his fans. I wish him total happiness.

      • ericjohnson0, on 09/15/2008, -8/+3No, just having a good laugh. The thought of two old men having sex together...

        brrrr...

        I don't want to think about it. Nasty.
      • 80sreject, on 09/15/2008, -0/+5You sure are thinking about it... a lot.
