Look at these different eulogies for Walter Koenig.
Shatner didn't know him well, but professionally respected him, wrote it about him.
Takei made it all about himself, his gay marriage.
This is what the SJWs do every time. They co-opt every situation, make it about their narcissism and their fetishes so you can never be left alone about it.
It's not about being left alone or civil rights with them, it's about making everything about THEM.
