Captain Kirk isn’t happy that Sulu didn’t invite him to his gay wedding, but according to Sulu, he did invite the good Captain, who just didn’t take the time to RSVP the invitation. Who is right, who is wrong, and why do we care? Well for one, it’s interesting if you’re a Trek fan, but not all that relevant to just about every other facet of life. Except for the fact that Sulu aka George Takei is marrying a guy, and Captain Kirk aka William Shatner is pretty miffed that he didn’t get invited, even though ex-Trek castmates of theirs, Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig, were.

“The whole thing makes me feel badly,” Shatner said in the video. “Poor man. There is such a sickness there. It’s so patently obvious that there is a psychosis there. I don’t know what his original thing about me was. I have no idea.”
Takei and Brad Altman tied the knot Sept. 14. “Star Trek” alums Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig — who played Uhura and Chekhov, respectively — were among the attendees at the multicultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum. Takei and Altman had previously stated that Shatner, who played Capt. James T. Kirk, was invited to their wedding, but he never RSVPed.
“It is unfortunate that Bill was unable to join us for our wedding as he indeed was invited to attend,” Takei responded. “It is our hope that at this point he joins us in voting no on Proposition 8, which seeks to eliminate the fundamental right for same-sex couples to marry in California.”
I love how George slips in the “Prop 8″ line in there. Way to go, George. Check out Shatner’s video of the topic below.
