Q: How awesome is George Takei?

A: Pretty flippin' awesome.

George Takei, who played Sulu on the original "Star Trek," beamed as he and his partner of 21 years, Brad Altman, obtained one of the new gender-neutral marriage licenses _ with the words "Party A" and "Party B" instead of "bride" and "groom" _ at the West Hollywood City Hall. They are planning a September wedding.

"I see before me people who personify love and commitment," a grinning Takei told the crowd. He flashed the Vulcan hand salute from "Star Trek" and, in a twist on the Vulcan greeting from the TV series, said: "May equality live long and prosper."

It would have been infinitely cooler if he would have dropped the "shocker" instead.
