Heroes, George Takei, announced that he has plans to marry his partner, Brad Altman, this summer. The news came after California’s Supreme Court decision to overturn it’s same-sex marriage ban.

Takei, 71, took to his official blog to announce this good news. Check out what he had to say:

“Our California dream is reality. Brad Altman and I can now marry. We are overjoyed! At long last, the barrier to full marriage rights for same-sex couples has been torn down. We are equal with all citizens of our state!

The California Supreme Court has ruled that all Californians have a fundamental right to marry the person he or she loves. Brad and I have shared our lives together for over 21 years. We’ve worked in partnership; he manages the business side of my career and I do the performing. We’ve traveled the world together from Europe to Asia to Australia. We’ve shared the good times as well as struggled through the bad. He helped me care for my ailing mother who lived with us for the last years of her life. He is my love and I can’t imagine life without him. Now, we can have the dignity, as well as all the responsibilities, of marriage. We embrace it all heartily.

With time, I know the opposition to same sex marriage, too, will be seen as an antique and discreditable part of our history. As U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy remarked on same sex marriage, ‘Times can blind us to certain truths and later generations can see that laws once thought necessary and proper, in fact, serve only to oppress.’

For now, Brad and I are enjoying the delicious dilemma of deciding where, when, and how we will be married. Marriage equality took a long time, but, like fine wine, its bouquet is simply exquisite.”

Congratulations to the happy couple! It will be interesting to see in the next couple of weeks how many of gay celebrities will make their wedding announcements. First, Ellen DeGeneres and now George Takei. Who will be next?

Shortly after the California Supreme court overturned the ban on gay marriage, Ellen DeGeneres announced on her show that she and girlfriend of 4 years hottie Portia De Rossi are getting married. Awww! Congrats you two!

I think I am going to cry! So sweet!

Portia came out shortly after her and Ellen started dating in 2004, and Ellen came out in 1997 on her sitcom Ellen and on the cover of Time magazine with the famous headline “Yep, I’m gay”

Just look at the happy couple, how could anybody be against this??? They are both so in love, why deny them the same rights that heteros have?

Celebrities are speaking out about California’s Supreme Court decision of overturning the ban of same-sex marriage. Here is what a few gay celebrities had to say:

Ellen DeGeneres: “I’m thrilled that the California supreme court overturned the ban on gay marriage. I can’t wait to get married. We all deserve the same rights, and I believe that someday we’ll look back on this and not allowing gays to marry will seem as absurd as not allowing women to vote. P.S. I’m registered at Crate & Barrel.”

T.R. Knight: “Our ‘certain inalienable rights’ are protected today. It makes me proud to live in a country that works to correct its sins.”

Melissa Etheridge: “I feel they have made an honest woman of me. What a wonderful blessing for us and the gay community. We’re moving forward. It makes me feel happy for the whole human race that we are finally getting out of our differences and coming together and we are putting this all behind us.”

Chad Allen: “I have to say I was completely shocked at the level of emotion of my own reaction. It’s not that I didn’t care, it’s just that I didn’t know that I cared that much… I’m thinking about getting married. I am in love with my partner, deeply madly in love with him, and though I am not ready to propose yet, it is in there.”
