This moment in Star Trek: Beyond made me absurdly happy. (Screen shots from watching the movie on a recent plane flight.)
Sulu (played by John Cho), hugging his daughter, his proud/happy husband looking on
Captain James T. Kirk, happy for them, looking on
Sulu, holding daughter, with husband's arm around him
Happy two dad family walking away
Hey, and a cute extra!
It's a powerful statement about LGBTQ people being part of the future.
And it's a tribute to George Takei, the original Sulu, now an out gay man himself, who married his husband Brad Altman in 2008.
And it's pretty awesome.
Thanks to everyone who made this happen, including the writing team, the director, the producers, and John Chu, the actor playing Sulu.
