On Father’s Day, (Sunday 20 June), the gay Star Trek icon wrote on Twitter: “One of my biggest regrets was never becoming a dad. “In my generation, coming of age in the 50s and 60s, it just wasn’t something very available to gay men, even those in couples. “But I’m happy I could still be ‘Uncle George’ to so many. ”But the internet was quick to remind the actor of the huge impact he’s had on so many LGBT+ people.

My gay uncle meant so much more to me than my dad. So happy Father's day Uncle George. Know you do have an impact on a lot of people's lives!— Kibby the employed (@Kibure).
