George Takei to Marry Gay Lover

The 71-year-old star - who applied for the license -
plans to marry his partner of 21 years, Brad Altman later this year.
Takei said: "We are first and foremost delighted. It's a landmark day. It's
going to be the only day like this in our lives and it is the only day like
this in the history of America.
"I think it's a glorious California morning to make history. Congratulations
to all of us. May equality live long and prosper."
The ceremony will take place on September 14 at Los Angeles' Japanese
American National Museum.
