Gay Actor George Takei Takes on Trumps Transgender Elimination Plan

Gay actor and activist George Takei, best known for his role as Sulu on “Star Trek,” says Trumps plan to eliminate the “transgender” category is part of broader plan

George’s tweet came after The New York Times broke news on Sunday, Oct. 21 that the Trump administration is considering a legal definition of gender that would no longer recognize transgender people.

“Trump wants his followers panicking. The trans / immigrants / mobs of women are out to get them, he bellows,” George tweeted.

“He turns up the heat, but we turn out the votes. We Dems are cool, determined, and laser-focused on flipping the House and many governorships. #BlueWave.”
