 ‘Newlywed Game’ Goes Gay With SuluPosted on Sep 16, 2009
For the first time since its 1967 premiere, the “Newlywed Game” will feature a gay couple: George Takei of “Star Trek” and his husband of one year (and partner for 22) Brad Altman. Why it has taken the show so long to get with the times is anybody’s guess. GSN, the network that now airs the show, won’t speculate because it’s been in charge for only two years—a lifetime in television. The Associated Press reports that the show’s host, Carnie Wilson (yes, that Carnie Wilson), says she wants to do an all-gay episode. —PS

Mayrenne,
It is really a strange feeling coming back and seeing ones own posts after period of time, I had forgotten this one. It seemed funny to me too, especially coming back to it, seems my appreciation of satire is annoying to most posters.

And I always believed Solo was the only non gay in Star
Report thisTrek while the rest of the staff always seemed gay to me,
(especially between Captain Kirk and Scottie “give me a
little more Scottie”) or maybe it was the costumes? Wonder
in the future, if they will have don’t ask don’t care!

Yesterday, Mary Travers died. Yet this remains the most recent A&C thread on TD.
Mary Travers influenced America at least as much as Ted Kennedy did, if not far more. Her golden powerhouse contralto and personal passion for the music made PPM the fountainhead of the 60’s folk movement—and that movement changed our world. Bono today is the child of PP&M.
And they were the children of the Weavers,
who were the children of Leadbelly and Joe Hill,
who were the children of ALL the troubadours who dared sing about their leaders’ corruption…
“Mary, Mary, quite contrary…” Mary, Queen of Scots, not the glorious Mary Travers.
“Little Jack Horner”...the informer
And all the way back.
Mary Travers was a great part of that tradition. I never met her, but I will miss her.

Oh blessed be!!! Gene would be so proud of this advance!
(Okay, it may not be much or as good as treating EVERY human being as ... a human being! But what the hell.)
Way to go, George. Love ya!
