Mr. Sulu is getting married.<\/p>\n

When I was eight, that sentence would have ended with "to me". Mr. Sulu was my second big crush. <\/p>\n

But since then, I have learned that George is gay. And that real people, like me, can’t marry fictional characters, like Sulu.<\/p>\n

So now George is going to marry his partner of 21 years, Brad Altman, and I feel the need to celebrate with them. <\/p>\n

Since coming out in 2005, George has suffered the slings and arrows with a remarkable grace and sense of humour<\/a>. He is now even more one of my heroes. <\/p>\n

I hope they like it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
