George Takei and fiancee planning September wedding [video]

”It’s not about a political statement, it’s about legally in California — the California Supreme Court says everybody is equally entitled to marriage. This is the first time — George and I have been together more than 21 years in good times and bad times through sickness and health and for the first time we can legally marry each other and I’m just thrilled.”
