George Takei not happy with Sulu being gay in 'Star Trek'

The original Sulu is not happy with 'Star Trek' makers turning the character, now played by John Cho, gay.
Cho revealed that Sulu will be gay in the upcoming 'Star Trek Beyond' movie.
The change is meant as a tribute to George Takei, the original star who is openly gay. But Takei isn't thrilled with the idea.
The actor and LGBT activist told The Hollywood Reporter that the new change strays from creator Gene Roddenberry's original vision for Hikaru Sulu.
"I'm delighted that there's a gay character. Unfortunately it's a twisting of Gene's creation, to which he put in so much thought. I think it's really unfortunate," he said.

Takei, who came out in 2005, first learned about the development last year from Cho. He reportedly tried to convince the actor, as well as writer Simon Pegg and director Justin Lin, to change their plans and make a new character gay instead.
