Although previous generations may know George from his infamous Star Trek role, many millennials now recognize him as the famous LGBTQ+ advocate across social media. The 80-year old spends a lot of time on Facebook and Twitter posting about LGBTQ+ issues, spreading relatable memes and images in the hope that they'll make a great impact on the public. He regularly shares his opinions on ways the LGBTQ+ community can lead change. In fact, he even led a tour focused on the process of coming out, naming it “Equality Trek.” On the tour, he spoke about being a gay Japanese-American and what life was like for him growing up. He was later honored with the Upstander Award from the Human Rights Campaign for his commitment to LBGTQ+ activism. George has embraced his identity as a gay man, saying it's a "natural part of who [I] am." He continues encouraging others to do the same. 6.
