George Takei came out at 68 because he was angry at Arnold Schwarzenegger
George Takei recently revealed that he came out as gay in response to former California Governer Arnold Schwarzenegger’s decision to veto the bill that legalized same-sex marriage in the state almost two decades ago.

Takei came out as gay at the age of 68 in an issue of Frontiers, a Los Angeles magazine that covers news in the gay and lesbian community, in 2005.
