For those bent out of shape over Sulu being gay

So it was recently announced that Hikaru Sulu, played by John Cho, would be revealed as gay in Star Trek: Beyond. Apparently, there are people who have reacted negatively to this revelation and this is the only response I can come up with:

Seriously, folks, get over yourselves. It's 2016 and LGBT have been around since the dawn of time and are never, ever going way. They're human beings like you and me and deserve to be able to live their lives like everybody else gets to. Plus, one of the central messages of Trek has always been unity is strength, that we're stronger together than we are divided. Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations.

And if the Preparation H doesn't do anything for you, then try a fence post.
