Celebrity Apprentice contestant and out actor George Takei is setting a lunch date with his "boss," Donald Trump, as an attempt to recruit The Donald as an ally for marriage equality.

Takei, 74, has a tentative lunch date with Trump in April, according to the New York Daily News.

"I think Mr. Trump is a decent, fair-minded guy, and I think we can have a very good discussion," Takei told the Daily News.

Takei married his husband, Brad Altman, in California in 2008, before Proposition 8 was instituted.
