George Takei smacks down William Shatner over gay marriage controversy [video]
”We did invite Bill [Shatner to our wedding], and we didn’t hear from him…. What’s really important to us right now is this Proposition 8, this very discriminatory law that’s trying to take away our beautiful marriage. And I have another invitation for Bill. I invite him to join us in voting “No” and campaigning “No” on Proposition 8…. Actually, I had been out for decades. Bill just didn’t know it, I suppose. And the only thing I had not done, is talk to the press about it. And the press has deemed my talking to them, my “coming out.”
