After over two decades together, George Takei is planning to marry his partner. 

George Takei wrote on his website, ”Our California dream is reality. Brad Altman and I can now marry. We are overjoyed! At long last, the barrier to full marriage rights for same-sex couples has been torn down. We are equal with all citizens of our state!

“The California Supreme Court further ruled that our Constitution provides for equal protection for all and that it cannot have marriage for one group and another form, domestic partnership, for another group,” added Takei. “No more “separate but equal.” No more second-class citizenship. Brad and I are going to be married as full citizens of our state.”

“With time, I know the opposition to same sex marriage, too, will be seen as an antique and discreditable part of our history,” said Takei. “For now, Brad and I are enjoying the delicious dilemma of deciding where, when, and how we will be married. Marriage equality took a long time, but, like fine wine, its bouquet is simply exquisite.”
