Don't think so. He's mocking the absurdity of the bill. He's an outspoken gay rights advocate, and he's awesome.

A friend posted this on Facebook earlier today, I was cracking up. George Takei is awesome.

Yeah I follow him on twitter. He's pretty awesome.

"It's okay to be Takei!"

 

[waggy]

Awesome link.

Wish I could get a clip of him just saying "you will always be a huge douchebag"

This is the Takeiest stuff I've ever seen.


Actually it's just shitty and stupid.

No it's pretty awesome because we still have millions of people that promote hate a bigotry in the world today and we need to end it.

That's fine and all, but the video was still stupid.

If it shamed him into both recanting and honestly rethinking his ridiculous bigotry, then good.

I suspect the overall media and community backlash and losing his job accomplished that though.

So, mostly, it's just for entertainment value. That's cool with me. Takei is funny.

LOL @ the ending song 🙂

The video was a political statement. You're stupid.
