Iconic gay actor George Takei revealed that he came out publicly because he was livid with then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The 85-year-old Star Trek star told the British theatre publication The Stage that he came out in 2005 because Schwarzenegger, who served as California’s Republican governor from 2003-2011, had vetoed legislation that would have allowed same-sex marriages in the state.
At the time, he and his now-husband Brad Altman had been together for more than 18 years.
Takei explained that he hadn’t come out sooner because he wanted to continue receiving roles.
