January 1, George Takei Faces Backlash Over His Defense of Inappropriate Behavior at Pride Parade
- George Takei, former “Star Trek” star and vocal supporter of the LGBTQ movement, faced significant backlash on social media after defending nude activists at a Pride parade in Seattle, despite the presence of children in the audience.
- Takei’s tweet defending the activists sparked numerous negative responses, with critics questioning his moral judgement and the extent he was willing to take his defense. Notable responses included those from Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro.
- This is not the first time Takei’s public statements have drawn criticism; in 2022, he was similarly criticized for a comment on AR-15s and Ukraine that unintentionally bolstered the conservative argument for Second Amendment rights.
Former “Star Trek” star George Takei has faced widespread criticism on social media for his defense of inappropriate behavior displayed at a Pride parade.
Nude LGBTQ activists were photographed riding bicycles during the event in Seattle, Washington, with children clearly present among the audience.
Takei, an open supporter of the LGBTQ movement, sought to defend the activists, stating via Twitter: “Even if there were no naked guys on bikes this year, they would find picture or generate them and push the same agenda anyway. There’s no ‘fixing’ this by calling for self-censoring.”
This tweet was met with a firestorm of criticism, earning more than twice as many comments as likes – an unfavorable scenario colloquially known as “the ratio”.
Several high-profile figures weighed in on the controversy.
Notably, Jordan Peterson questioned the extent of Takei’s defense, saying, “Ask yourself a simple question Mr. Takei. How far are you willing to take this.”
Ben Shapiro, a well-known conservative commentator, sarcastically labelled Takei’s tweet as one of the “great tweets of all time.”
Shapiro went on to paraphrase Takei’s sentiment, stating: “Yes, sure, gay dudes naked on bikes in front of children is happening. But if it weren’t, the Right would just AI it into existence. So we shouldn’t stop doing it.”
In addition to notable figures, numerous other Twitter users expressed their dismay.
Many suggested that Takei’s tweet revealed a lack of basic moral discernment.
One user questioned whether it was too much to ask for Takei to acknowledge that being naked around children was inappropriate.
Another sarcastically praised the actor’s willingness to self-reveal, saying: “Free speech is great because it gets people like Takei to show us who they really are. Don’t self-censor, George. You’re doing great.”
Bottom Line
This is not the first time Takei has drawn criticism for his public statements.
In 2022, the actor was lambasted over a tweet about AR-15s and Ukraine, which inadvertently supported the conservative argument for Second Amendment rights.
It seems that in his zeal to support certain causes, Takei often overlooks the broader implications and potential backlash of his commentary.

Which once again proves that the Hollywood crowd is mentally deficient when it comes to today’s social issues. So tell me again why a large crowd follows these people with total adoration?

He has always been a freak. One of the reasons I didn’t watch Star Trek.

When has it ever been appropriate for an adult to parade their junk, male or female, in front of children?

I read the article twice but I don’t think it mentions anywhere that Georgie is a flaming fa got himself so it’s no surprise that he condones bad behavior of the paraders. I’ve worked with several homosexuals and I don’t think any of them would condone bad behavior. But then, Takei is a Hollyweird psycho.

The fact that these deviants were not arrested shows the degraded mental capacity of the police as well as those watching these scum on parade

Takei is proof that Hollyweird is screwed up on so many levels starting with a complete lack of morals and right versus wrong. There are quite a few G&L I know that do not condone this behavior or act like this f-g! There are decent G&L that do agree with protecting childrens purity and innocense along with not shoving their lifestyle in people’s faces. Then there are the leftist LGBTQ Fing gutter trash that are so depraved, evil, and disgusting like Takei, Brinton, and most recent the politician that is a tranny arrested for child porn or the sicko adults at pride completely nude while children are around.
As far as I am concerned they should bring back mental asylums or bring back public hangings and more capital punishment!
Do you think or founding fathers would have allowed any of this to go on? Not hardly! Satanists are doing gender affirmations and unbaptisms in Washington. Professors are screwing with students minds giving them depraved ideologies and the garbage just keeps mounting and we need a civil war at this point since police are constrained, GOP doesn’t do anything with these democrats and parents are having to fight to parent their own children.
We used to burn this crap at the stakes and do more capital punishment and we still should!
Get this country’s depravity and evil cleaned up for good starting with the democrats and RINOs willing to get in bed with the democrats who are allowing this to go on!
This country is sick sick sick!
