‘Star Trek Beyond’ cast, Gene Roddenberry’s son weigh in on Sulu being gay
Last week, John Cho casually revealed that his character Sulu will be in a same-sex relationship in the upcoming Star Trek Beyond. Since then, the news has been met with varying responses, as cast members both past and present have spoken out about the decision.
Surprisingly, one of the biggest critics has been original Sulu actor and longtime gay rights activist George Takei, who called the news “really unfortunate.” Takei argued that although he’s thrilled to see an openly gay character in the Star Trek universe, he doesn’t feel that Sulu being gay matches up with creator Gene Roddenberry’s original vision for the character.
