London
(ANI):
American
actor
George
Takei
is
all
set
to
tie
the
knot
with
his
long
time
boyfriend
Brad
Altman
after
California
lifted
its
ban
on
same-sex
marriage.
The
71-year-old
actor,
who
played
Mr
Sulu
in
Star
Trek,
revealed
that
he
and
54-year-old
Altman,
with
whom
he
has
been
going
around
for
21
years,
are
at
the
moment
going
through
the
"delicious
dilemma" of
deciding
where
to
marry.
"We
can
have
the
dignity,
as
well
as
all
the
responsibilities,
of
marriage.
We
embrace
it
all
heartily," BBC
quoted
Takei
as
stating
on
his
website.
Takei,
who
recently
appeared
in
the
popular
US
TV
series
Heroes,
said
that
the
two
of
them
get
on
very
well
together.
"We've
worked
in
partnership;
he
manages
the
business
side
of
my
career
and
I
do
the
performing,"
he
said.
"We've
traveled
the
world
together
from
Europe
to
Asia
to
Australia.
We've
shared
the
good
times
as
well
as
struggled
through
the
bad.
"He
helped
me
care
for
my
ailing
mother
who
lived
with
us
for
the
last
years
of
her
life.
He
is
my
love
and
I
can't
imagine
life
without
him,"
he
added.
The
two
will
finally
be
able
to
tie
the
knot,
after
California's
Supreme
Court
ruled
on
May
15
that
the
"right
to
form
a
family
relationship"
applied
to
all
Californians
regardless
of
sexuality.
But
opponents
of
the
decision
said
they
would
seek
an
amendment
to
the
state
constitution,
which
would
override
the
ruling.
Following
the
Supreme
Court's
decision
to
legalise
same-sex
marriage,
comedian
Ellen
DeGeneres
announced
plans
to
marry
her
girlfriend,
actress
Portia
de
Rossi.
