George and Brad

I would like to recognize George Takei and Brad Altman!

I had the pleasure of meeting George and Brad a few years ago when I lived in LA. We worked together on a convention tour and an immediate friendship was started. I have always loved George because I am a huge Trek fan! If people were to ask what one of the driving forces in my life are their reply would be "Star Trek!"

I will never forget the first time that I met George and Brad. It was November of 2007. I was so nervous! I sat there in their living room in shock as I looked around, It hit me... I was sitting in Sulu's living room! After my nerves settled, I was at ease because George and Brad are amazing hosts!

They have been such an impact on my life. I think that it's so awesome that they have been together as long as they have. It gives me hope every time I see them because I have always had bad luck with relationships. Gay relationships are not easy, so to sit and be able to look at them and their success in life as a happily married couple, it gives me hope that someday I can also find a love like they have!

Thank you George and Brad for being such amazing friends, and thank you for being so incredibly precious!

All my love!
Josh
