George Takei

I've lived over seven decades, through a World War where we were put in camps because of our race to playing the Asian helmsman of the Enterprise, from the blossoming of the Stonewall riots to today, where we help carry the banner for marriage equality. Here is my story. I'm living proof that "It Got Better."



I would be honored if you watched and shared this video to help young people today gain some context for the great things that lie ahead for them, even if today seems bleak and hopeless. If you are and remain true to yourself, it really can and will get better.
