"Star Trek" star George Takei is ready to "live long and prosper" with his gay partner of 21 years.
The 71-year-old actor known for his role as Sulu on the science fiction TV series was the first to pay $70 early Tuesday for a marriage license in West Hollywood.
Takei was jubilant, saying "it's going to be the only day like this in our lives and it is the only day like this in the history of America."
Takei will marry 54-year-old Brad Altman on Sept. 14 in the Democracy Forum at the Japanese National Museum in Los Angeles. The marriage license is good for 90 days.
Takei told reporters and a swelling crowd outside the West Hollywood city auditorium "may equality live long and prosper."
