GEORGE TAKEI AND BRAD ALTMAN

Inspiring LGBT advocates George Takei and actor-writer boyfriend Brad Altman stayed true to their commitment, as they dated for 27 years before finally exchanging vows. Prior to their relationship, the two have been actively participating in LGBT organizations and they also met at a running club. While they weren’t open about their sexuality to their peers yet, the two eventually came out and decided to enter a commitment after hitting it off from the start.

In 2009, the couple married in a multicultural ceremony at the Japanese American National Museum. They might have used their investment money as their ceremony featured a Buddhist priest, Native American wedding bands, and a Japanese Koto harp.
