Fun fact: George Takei himself complained that Sulu is portrait gay in the new movies. He said that even tho he himself is gay, he always played Sulu as a straight guy. But why would the headcanon of an actor be more important than any other
To be fair, John Cho played Sulu straight until it was revealed that he was gay. And even then, there wasn't much gayness to his acting. Unless you count bringing a sword to a skydiving phaser fight, but I'd consider that more bad ass than gay.
Isn't there a scene where he means his husband?
I assume you mean "meet his husband", but yes. There is a scene Into Darkness with his husband and daughter. But other than that and maybe a few mentions that you'd miss if you weren't paying attention, they didn't really put the character's gayness on display.
