George Takei: another ‘pet gay’ turns out to be a phony

George Takei is one of those “pet gays” collected by straight hipster millennials who are eager to show how tolerant and “cool” they are, especially of “witty” gay men.

For some time, they’re been enthusiastically retweeting Takei’s tweets, adding stuff like “how cool!” and “my hero!”, especially Takei’s pro-gay marriage messages — and put downs of “backward” conservatives.

So I’m delighted to announce that Takei has hired jokewriters to keep up his “witty gay” image, and he’s is brazenly unapologetic.

My day is made.
