Mr. Sulu comes out

Mr. Sulu is now out of the closet. My question is how did I miss this?? I mean, in episode 4, where he's walking around San Francisco with a stylish black woman with big hair! How did I miss this??

Inserting all my gay Star Trek jokes here:

He really did want to see the Captain's log!
Mr. Sulu has been where no man has been before...
He liked using the thrust engines...
He was good at putting the shuttle engine in the aft docking way...
Now I know why Mr. Sulu was always telling Captain Kirk he wanted to go to Uranus.
