George Takei, the veteran actor best known for playing Mr. Sulu on TV's Star Trek, flashed a sign to the crowd during the 42nd annual Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival Parade that took place Sunday, April 19 in San Francisco's Japantown, according to the Bay Area Reporter. Takei, who came out as gay several years ago, served as grand marshal of the parade and rode with his husband, Brad Altman. They were followed by the Gay Asian Pacific Alliance contingent. The parade also included drummers, dancers, the Japanese ambassador and San Francisco consul, politicians, and the grand finale of the mikoshi, large casks of saki carried on their shoulders by dozens of burly men.
