I have some thoughts on the sexuality of Hikaru Sulu from Star Trek following reading io9.gizmodo.com/george-takei-tried-to-convince-the-team-behind-star-tre-1783306619 and heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/movies/star-trek-beyond-favourite-mr-sulu-has-come-out-as-castmates-reflect-on-the-death-of-anton-yelchin/news-story/51909410e4e465f825470c4dfbcc17ecPermalink On Internet Archive

Sulu was born in 2230 (source: cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/USS-Enterprise-Officers-Manual.php): three years before the USS Kelvin incident that split the timelines.On Internet Archive

With no way that the new timeline could have affected his biology, we have to assume Sulu's innate sexuality is the same in both timelines.Permalink On Internet Archive
-
So rather than being closeted in the old timeline - as Takei suggests - the better explanation is that Sulu is bisexual in both timelines.Permalink On Internet Archive
-
In the old timeline, he falls in love with a woman; in the new timeline, with a man.Permalink On Internet Archive
-
So, as with many headlines about a person revealing a same-sex relationship, headlines about Sulu being 'gay' are, likely, inaccurate.Permalink On Internet Archive

Even @simonpegg in this response to Takei theguardian.com/film/2016/jul/08/simon-pegg-defends-gay-sulu-after-george-takei-criticism speaks in a very binary way about sexuality.Permalink On Internet Archive
