<i>Newlywed Game</i> goes gay

As reported by Queer Sighted:

Long-running TV Show “The Newlywed Game” will be hosting their first ever gay couple. Former Star Trek actor George Takei (Mr. Sulu) and his husband Brad Altman are set to appear on the show later this season in a celebrity special.

Takei and Altman have been together for over 20 years but only tied the knot last year, before Proposition 8 nullified gay marriage in California.

About taking part George Takei said: “What we want is to display the normality and the joy of having a happy union. To be included in something we never felt we’d be included in is very satisfying.”

How long do you think before the show goes poly? Maybe when if poly marriage ever gets approved?

While I’m thrilled for any small advancement the gay community achieves, I really believe poly acceptance is miles and miles behind. Le sigh.
