From intergalactic fame to big Internet name, George Takei has become a crusader against hate on social media - and resistance is futile.

While George carved out most of his legacy as Hikaru Sulu in the original Star Trek series, he's found a new life at 79 years-old as one of the most 'liked' people on Facebook, with over 10 million fans hanging off his every post. He's supremely witty, and is never short on scathing comebacks when Internet trolls attack.

George is also an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ rights and racial equality. As both a gay man and a Japanese-American growing up during World War II, he's seen his fair share of discrimination, and he fights against it fiercely. He recently launched a Care2 petition asking people to stand up for Muslims in the US aimed at the incoming president, Donald Trump, and is less than 3000 supporters away from achieving his goal of 160,000.

Live long and prosper, George! (h/t)

That woman is so ridiculous. No one is asking her to become a lesbian, what LBGT+ people want is to be respected for their decisions, not force others into the same decisions they make. I don't have to marry another woman to respect that two women or two men can love one another and want to have a legal bond between them. Love is love.

This reminds me of a male friend (I'm female). I knew he was gay, but he had never actually said it. Anyways, one day he decides he should tell me, but he was being really shy about it. He starts with "So, I just thought I should tell you... I like guys." I was like, "OMG. Me too!" He says, "No. I mean... I don't like girls." I said, "I know, right? Girls are bitches." He just stared at me for a minute. I laughed and said, "I'm just messing with you, man. I know you're gay. And it makes no difference to me." He said, "That's a relief. I mean, I knew you were blond, but I didn't think you were that dumb." Lol. I miss him.

Good news! She doesn't have to be with a woman, and neither does America's Uncle George! :D

THAT'S NOT HOW "g"s LOOK, YOU WHORE! Also, what's with these people thinking "We can't have gay acceptance, then WE ALL HAVE TO BE GAY!"?

Please don't call her a 'whore'. I don't agree with her either, but not agreeing with her doesn't give anyone the right to be disrespectful.

No man should sexually assault a woman- if they do, there must be consequences- perhaps loss of citizenship or a year in jail!
