My mom: So, I think I've come to a conclusion.
Me: Oh?
My Mom: I think that out of all the original Star Trek cast, it's most likely that William Shatner didn't know he was playing a gay character. I just saw a picture of him and Spock and Kirk is wearing the gayest little outfit, and I imagined someone telling him "It's just what people will wear in the future, it's science fiction".
Me: But George Takei would definitely know. He'd be making eye contact with the guy who wrote the famous Amok Time fight scene from across the room.
My Mom: Oh, he would absolutely know.
