Some of the Radio City Rockettes reportedly aren’t happy that they’ll be made to perform at the inauguration of Donald Trump less than a month from now. George Takei feels their Trump-triggered pain:
The members of the Rockettes and the Mormon Tabernacle are like all of us: Forced to go along with something horrible they didn't choose.

When it comes to being forced to go along with something you’re against, exceptions obviously apply:
Like taxpayers funding abortions, for example…… https://t.co/MugyrfOmXR

Buy that wildly overpriced health insurance, the Government demanded… https://t.co/ERY872nTIJ

@GeorgeTakei you mean, like Obamacare? I'm like all of us. But I'd be fined and jailed if I didnt partake in Obamacare

Takei made interesting points, just not the ones he thought he was making.
Except when it involves bakers and wedding photographers, I guess. https://t.co/yyBoVvIZUf

@EdMorrissey @GeorgeTakei he'll reverse course when it suits his politics. Almost all celebs (of both sides) do.

So does this apply to bakers and photographers? Just curious https://t.co/8xMY76TZhf

.@GeorgeTakei That little Rockette is free to resign, but her union contract doesn't give her the job back. Where's her conscience now?

It is a shame that their union is forcing them to bake that cake… https://t.co/OutYyVRsfA

And of course Takei’s opinion on this issue varies depending on the circumstances:
