It Rhymes with Takei

It Rhymes with Takei is a full-color graphic memoir by George Takei, created with Harmony Becker, Steven Scott, and Justin Eisinger, the team behind They Called Us Enemy.

The memoir follows Takei's life as a gay man, from his childhood and experiences in the 1950s through his acting career and his decision to come out publicly in 2005 at age 68. It places his personal experiences alongside LGBTQ+ history in the United States.

Topics include living in the closet, fear of exposure, activism, the loss of friends to AIDS, his relationship with Brad Altman, and the decision to speak openly about his sexuality and pursue legal recognition of their relationship.
