[snippies.. basically, Howie Carr is to say nice stuff about DOMA and ugly
things about gays, then turn to interview George Takei, who is gay]
| Mr. Carr seems clueless to the fact that George Takei is gay.
|
| Wonderful way to welcome your guest, Howie!!!
It's the usual way.. ignorance shows itself in some of the most ironic
ways. It's amazing what the dollar can get you into, too <grin>.

I don't really have a spiffy ending sentence... seems unnecessary.

wanking! Thanks, Frank.

What I'd like to know is:
Did George call him on it when he got on the air?

1) It's news to me that George Takei is gay. Am I living under a rock?
2) So, how did the interview go after that? I'd be interesting in hearing!

I'd have to say you are. George Takei came out several years ago.

The hear-say is that he doesn't make it public because of the fear that
promoters will stop calling him for appearances. Also according to the
hear-say, he has always been open in his private life.
The closest I think that he came to coming out was his role in ST:TMP
:-)
