I'd take the legitimate points in this article more seriously if they weren't peppered with ad-hominem and meaningless finger-pointing. It isn't about George Takei, it's about the line between private interests and public intervention, specifically whether a business entity can have religious interests, and how to define whether it can or not.

If the author really thinks George Takei should shut up and is irrelevant to the conversation, they would not have written the article in the first place. Who gives a flying fuck what George Takei or this Bryan Preston thinks? Not this guy, until they both wasted my time.

Just because a guy who pushed buttons and encountered unconvincing aliens on a 1960s TV show says something, doesn’t make it true.

Just because a guy who pushes buttons in front of his screen on his desk says something, doesn't mean it's worth half a thought.
