Good, no mess to clean up. I remember reading in one of the autobiographies (it might have been Nichelle Nichols) that the rest of the crew was somewhat stunned at how egocentric Shatner was. (I know, knock me over with a feather and all that.) Takei was a delegate to a Democratic National Convention, and everyone knew that but our beloved Captain.
No, I don’t remember which convention.
David Hyde Pierce is gay?
Well… learn something new every day…
Wait.
Is he gay?
Even when I was a kid and I didn’t know what gay meant, I could see that Mr. Sulu was gay. C’mon, the only way he could have been more flaming was if he was Liberace. And yes, I knew he was gay too. I just thought it meant flamboyant.
Now Paul Lynde? I just thought he was funny.
There’s one in this board.
Yeah, my understanding is that John Mahoney IS gay, though I can’t find a cite for it.
Ok, wait, wait, wait.
William Shatner played a gay Republican dog on Frasier?
A gay, black, Republican dog of Japanese anscestry actually, but you basically got the gist.
I believe there’s an SDMB requirement to have at least one of everything on the board.
Yes, Would you mind giving me the Gist of it?
Google isn’t being much help.
It hadn’t occured to me, either. Nor that Neil Patrick Harris was, until a formal announcement to that effect.
p.s. I still find it quite surprising that David Walliams ISN’T Gay. He’s like the most gayest person ever.
Cool. I actually met one at a restaurant once, too.
A Republican?
On this Board?
No, at the restaurant! Keep up with the thread! 
He met David Hyde Pierce at a restaurant?
No no, he was bored at a republican restaurant and saw a dog go by being walked by a Jew who looked like a black David Hyde Pierce.
And the dog was gay because it could lick its own balls?
No. It was gay because it’s name is George. Which brings the whole thing back to the OP!
