This is so sweet -- a picture of George Takei (aka Hikari Sulu on Star Trek) and his partner getting a marriage license in California:

The photo on the second row, third column.

It's adorable -- he's been an actor all his life, and yet he looks so nervous for the camera.

ETA: And on the subject of California same-sex marriage, this bit of religious-right propaganda is one of the most hilariously lurid things I've seen in a long time. It's in PDF format, which proves they're evil.

I have to wonder, though, what does a Marriage Protection Kit include? If it doesn't at least have a grappling hook, a flashlight, and a boomerang, I'd be sorely disappointed.

I know -- I don't usually do the famous-celebrity thing, but the cuteness of that smile crosses over into LOLcat territory.

OMG?! Why didn't anyone tell me about this blatant defacing of documents?! This is the end of civilization as we know it?! :P

*chuckle*

Do they realize how ludicrous they sound, I wonder?

The grappling, flashlight and boomerang might sound a bit too much like Batman though. I don't know how the religious right might feel about that association. ^_^

I mean, same-sex marriage has already been approved in the DCU. Batman and Superman's lookalikes, Midnighter and Apollo, have already taken full advantage. http://bp0.blogger.com/_HDLEycm-LIE/RlN3Ii_xcFI/AAAAAAAAByE/aLU4dAqw0wU/s1600-h/Midnighter7-002.jpg

(yeah, this was just an excuse to link pictures of Midnighter and Apollo. ^_^)

I think if they did, they wouldn't be them.

"(yeah, this was just an excuse to link pictures of Midnighter and Apollo. ^_^)"

No need to an excuse ^_^

And yeah -- after Frederic Wertham outed the dynamic duo in 1954, the religious right probably wouldn't touch him with a ten-foot batpole.

*gasp*

Sorry. "Hikari" means "light" in Japanese, so the association stuck.

LOL I'm glad I wasn't the only one who was really bugged by that. Hikari is a girls name after all.

That picture is really cute. The two of them look adorable in it.

That second link begs to be mocked. I can't decide if this is disturbing or hilarious. I guess I'm scared by the people who would take it seriously. I'm still strangely amused every time I read it.... Still, what is a marriage protection kit?

Apparently just a couple of books. Disappointing, I tell you!
