Star Trek veteran and Howard Stern Show announcer George Takei will make a six-city tour on behalf of the Human Rights Campaign, the organization announced Tuesday. Takei will discuss his life as a gay Japanese-American and encourage others to come forward and share their stories. "In my own life I have felt the discrimination that used to separate Japanese-Americans from the rest of the country melt away," the actor, who spent time in an American internment camp during World War II, said in a statement. "I believe that by sharing our stories, GLBT Americans can break down the walls that separate us and help build a more understanding and truly diverse nation for us all." The "Equality Trek" tour kicks off April 10 in Philadelphia. (The Advocate)
