Several days ago, we reported on a statement that John Cho made about the scene in Star Trek Beyond where Hikaru Sulu greets his family his daughter and husband after arriving at Yorktown Station on leave.

I loved Star Trek Beyond, and thought it spiritually similar to both TOS and TNG and a much needed course-correction after Star Trek Into Darkness. Even better, it brought some long-overdue LGBTQIA representation into the Trek universe by making Kelvin Universe Hikaru Sulu gay and giving him a husband. Yet their one scene together in the film left something to be desired. **SPOILER ALERT IF YOU WANT TO GO INTO THE FILM COMPLETELY UNSULLIED**

George Takei Destroys “Douchebag” Anti-Gay Politician [Video]
Clint McCance, the Arkansas school board member who leapt to national infamy after writing public Facebook comments to the effect that all gay people should commit suicide and wrote that "I also enjoy the fact that they often give each other aids and die," recently resigned from his post on-air. George Takei, a.k.a. Star Trek's Sulu, tears McCance to shreds in this "It Gets Better"-inspired video. Not only does the openly gay actor have an important message to convey about the need to stamp out bigotry: He also offers perhaps the most dignified pronouncement of the word "douchebag" as applied to McCance, in that inimitable Sulu way. Takei's first of several crisply delivered "douchebag" lines is at 0:38. (via MeFi)
