Former Star Trek actor, gay activist, and Humanist George Takei has been on fire lately. When a bill was on the table in one of the southern states (I forget which one) that attempted to restrict teachers from using the word, \u201cgay\u201d in the classroom, George Takei stepped up with his, \u201cIt\u2019s okay to be Takei\u201d campaign.<\/p>\n

The idea of Takei\u2019s campaign is that instead of saying gay, you can say Takei. He created a logo for the campaign featuring the Starfleet insignia and rainbow colors. Last night he posted a contest on twitter to create a new logo. I answered his call and as far as I know, I was the first to do so.<\/p>\n

If my logo makes it as a finalist (which I think it might), then voting will be on Sunday, December 18th 2011. George Takei will create a special photo gallery on his facebook page<\/a> for the contest and the logo that gets the most \u201clikes\u201d wins.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to vote for mine, but I hope you will because you all love me so much and I don\u2019t want to brag or anything, but my logo is pretty kickass. Take a look:
