George Takei (82) & Brad Altman (65) – The Very First Same-Gender Couple to Get Married in West Hollywood
Among the world’s most enduring and adored celebrity LGBT couples are Star Trek actors George Takei and Brad Altman. They became the first same-sex couple to ever receive a marriage license in West Hollywood when they were married in 2008! However, Takei and Altman’s romance began in the 1980s, while they were both participating in the LA Frontrunners marathon series. They are still going strong over thirty years after they originally began dating. A 2014 documentary on George’s life, To Be Takei, examines their relationship in further detail and demonstrates that Takei and Altman were destined to be together.
