For a few month now, Carrie Fisher from Star Wars and William Shatner from Star Trek have been at each other’s throats. Shatner started it, then Fisher struck back by essentially calling Star Trek second-rate, but then Shatner got a little personal, bringing up Fisher’s weight. I guess that’s when George Takei, one of the world’s most glorious men and a man who has worked in both series, decided that he needed to defuse the situation.

Personally, I think George has a pretty solid point. After all, nobody’s going to back down in this fight and, well, Twilight IS really, really bad. What are your thoughts?

William Shatner has decided to “speak out” about being snubbed at George Takei’s wedding.

I feel like these people are little kids.

Seriously, Bill, shut up and go back to doing Priceline ads.

The Star Trek icon married his partner of 21 years, Brad Altman, on Sunday in a multicultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum that featured a Buddhist priest, Native American wedding bands, a Japanese Koto harp and a bagpipe procession.

They both wore white dinner jackets and black pants, and entered to the tune of “One Singular Sensation” from A Chorus Line, just to weed out anyone who was under the mistaken notion that they were attending a heterosexual event.

Fellow Trekkers Walter Koenig and Nichelle Nichols served as best man and best lady.

“We have a relationship that’s been stronger and longer-lived than some of our straight friends, and yet we were not equal,” George told The Associated Press before the ceremony. “What this does is give us that dignity; (it’s) being part of the American system and being whole. We’re making the American system whole as well, as America is becoming more equal.”

Amidst the insanity surrounding the upcoming election, I can’t tell you how heart-warming it is to see same-sex marriages legally taking place in this country. A little ray of light.

Congrats, you two!

George Takei and his longtime partner, Brad Altman, showed up at West Hollywood City Hall on Tuesday morning to get their marriage license.

“Today we are all here to give flesh and blood reality to that ruling. We are going to make history,” said Takei. “Congratulations to all of us and may equality live long and prosper.”

Every county in California was required to start issuing new gender-neutral marriage licenses Tuesday with spaces for “Party A” and “Party B” where “bride” and “groom” used to be.

Hooray!
