RANDOMora: Newlywed game opens it's stage for gays

Announced last Wednesday, the Game Show Networks' "The Newlywed Game" will feature Star Trek star George Takei and his longtime partner Brad Altman, becoming the first same-sex couple ever to be casted in the history of the series.

The couple got married September 14 of last year, just before the Proposition 8 had made its stance. Though they still stand husband and husband, the will now appear on the game show proving that not even a silly little proposal can keep their marriage from existing.

Not surprising many would way, "Well, it's about time." But, truly it was. The show states they are of "modern installment of the classic series ... of wide-ranging backgrounds." Much of which is one small step for man, one large leap for mankind. I know I will definitely tune in to the classic, but ever modern game show on television.

"The Newlywed Game" premieres its second season on GSN Monday, October 12.
