Game Show First: Gays on 'Newlywed Game'

'Star Trek' Star George Takei and Partner to Compete as First Gay Couple on Game Show

The show is a pioneering event in the world of gay married couples. Part of the game's rules is that the couple needs to have a legally recognized marriage to play.

"We're boldly going where no other same-sex couple has gone," Takei added. "We want to be seen [on the show] in context throughout society as no different from other couples who preceded us, in the context of normalcy and commitment to each other."
