Takei responds to Tim Hardaway's anti-gay comments

For those that haven't read about it, former NBA star, Tim Hardaway, made some pretty harsh comments slamming people who are of he homosexual orientation. Here is some of what he said off of ESPN.com

"You know, I hate gay people, so I let it be known," Hardaway said. "I don't like gay people and I don't like to be around gay people. I am homophobic. I don't like it. It shouldn't be in the world or in the United States."

Well, I don't really want to say much about it because this man is entitled to say what he wants. I completely disagree with his sentiments but that is what makes our country great. You have freedom of speech.

George Takei, most famously known for his role as Mr. Sulu on Star Trek, exercised his right to free speech with responding to what Hardarway said. Takei is an open homosexual and his comedy is extremely funny at times. One of my recommendations would be to watch his roast of William Shatner on the Comedy Central website. Anyway, here is a link to the video of Takei's response. It is classic!
