13 Cheyenne Jackson and Jason Landau
Actor/singer Cheyenne Jackson is mostly known for his roles on the hit TV shows Glee and 30 Rock. He actually met his now-husband while they were both in rehab, which makes for an interesting love story. The pair reportedly fell in love straight away and were engaged within just six months before getting married in 2014. It seems the two are just perfect for each other. In an interview, Jackson said, “We got sober together. Now we sing and we dance together. It blows my mind.” Take a look at their photos on Instagram to see just how cute they are.
12 Lance Bass and Michael Turchin
Former *NSYNC singer Lance Bass seems to have a tough coming out story. He's spoken about how coming out when the band were at the peak of their fame could have affected their success. It's a real shame, but maybe people weren't so accepting and open back in the 90s and early 2000s. But even worse is that Bass also claims to have been almost bullied into coming out by internet bloggers such as Perez Hilton. But that's all in the past now and Bass has a happy marriage that's in the public eye to artist/actor/hottie Michael Turchin. The pair received a lot of buzz as they starred and got married in a reality TV show for E! called Lance Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding. It was the first gay wedding on reality TV and was also super cute and filled with joy.
11 Matt Bomer And Simon Halls
Whether your gay or straight, male or female, it's hard not to swoon over actor Matt Bomer's performance in Magic Mike. But sorry, this beefcake is off the market. He's been married to his publicist husband Simon Halls since 2011 and they have three children together. It's easy to see how in love they are. In a speech Bomer gave when receiving an award he said, “Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment.” Don't you wish that somebody would declare something like that about you?
10 Denis O'Hare and Hugo Redwood
O'Hare is of course a great actor known for his roles in True Blood and American Horror Story. While his other half, Hugo Redwood, has worked as an interior designer, fashion designer, craftsman and DKNY pattern maker. The couple originally met online have made a beautiful family together. They've been featured in a Tylenol campaign that celebrates diverse families: They're an interracial gay couple and have an adopted son who's African-American. They're truly an inspiration for people to be who they are and love one another. You go guys!
9 Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent
These two are cuteeee. Cute as in good-looking and cute as in adorable too. Nate Berkus is of course a long-standing interior designer and TV personality. He married Jeremiah Brent another established interior designer in 2014, who now hosts a TV show too. They are pretty much a power couple and guess what, they're new dads! Another interesting thing to note is that the couple featured in ads for Banana Republic as well as InStyle and Rolling Stones magazines, making them the first same-sex couple to appear in such campaigns. I feel like they should really be celebrated!
8 Alec Mapa and Jamison Hebert
You'll recognize funny-man Alec Mapa from his roles in hit TV shows Ugly Betty and Switched At Birth. He married his long-term partner, actor and producer, Jamison Hebert in 2008. Mapa has spoken in interviews about adopting their son Zion, who was 9-years old at the time. Many see it as a really beautiful thing. The couple adopted a kid that had a smaller chance than most of being adopted as he is black and was a little older than the age kids usually get adopted at. But Mapa and Hebert don't see it that way, they simply feel blessed to have an awesome family. If that isn't precious I don't know what is.
7 Sir Elton John And David Furnish
This pair are practically royalty, gay royalty at least. I personally love Elton John because he's so blunt, honest and funny. Watch him in an interview and you'll know what I mean. He got together with Canadian filmmaker David Furnish in the early 90s and they were one of the first couples to get a civil partnership in Britain in 2005. They also got married in 2014 when gay marriage became legal in England. They seem to have a happy family life with their two sons. They're an example of a couple that have been out and proud and going strong for years!
6 Zachary Quinto And Miles McMillan
You'll know 38-year-old actor Zachary Quinto from numerous TV and movie roles – he was Spock in Star Trek Into Darkness and he's also been in Heroes and American Horror Story. He's been with his boyfriend Miles McMillan for over two years now. McMillan is a successful model who has worked for the likes of Karl Lagerfeld and Alexander McQueen. And let's face it, he's gorgeous and they're really gorgeous together. They're often papped walking their dogs, holding hands and sharing cute kisses. In an interview Quinto said that they have “a real connection” but also inferred that they might not be ready for marriage just yet. Nevertheless, they're a hot couple!
5 Jesse Tyler Ferguson And Justin Mikita
Jesse Tyler Ferguson is one half of the hugely popular gay couple on Modern Family, Cam and Mitch. It's so nice to see a sweet and funny gay family portrayed on TV, so thanks Jesse. He met his real life husband at the gym but apparently they tell people that they met through mutual friends. They were married in 2013 in New York City. In case you wanted to know a little about Justin Mikita, he's a multi-talented guy. He's a designer, writer, activist and creative director. He's done lots of work for LGBT rights. What a great guy. What a great couple.
4 Tom Daley And Dustin Lance Black
Tom Daley is a very popular young man thanks to his flawless bod and his sweet coming out story. The British Olympic diver shared a heartfelt video with his fans in 2013 revealing that he was in a relationship with a man. That man turned out to be Oscar-winning American screenwriter and director Dustin Lance Black, who recently called out Sam Smith for insinuating that he was the first gay guy to win an Academy Award. The pair shared the story of how they got engaged in a recent issue of Out Magazine. Daley hid the engagement ring in his underwear – saucy. When Daley proposed to Lance Black, who is 20 years his senior, Lance Black ran off and retrieved rings that he had bought, giving Daley a beautiful speech. So they basically proposed to each other at the same time. How cute is that?
3 Jim Parsons and Todd Spiewak
Jim Parsons is super-duper famous as the awkward genius Sheldon Cooper on the Big Bang Theory. His partner of over 12 years, Todd Spiewak isn't really in the limelight much. He's a very successful art director / graphic designer. And the couple seem to have been lovingly coexisting for many years and it's just no big deal to them. In acceptance speech Parsons said, “I’ve never considered my relationship with Todd to be an act of activism. Rather simply, it’s an act of love, coffee in the morning, going to work, washing the clothes, taking the dogs [out]—a regular life, boring love.” How nice is that?
2 Brad Altman and George Takei
What a pair of cuties! These two have been together for a hell of a long time, twenty-seven years in fact! You know George Takei as Sulu from Star Trek and nowadays he's a generally funny guy, making his presence known on social media. He and Brad Altman tied the knot in 2008 and they made it very public in the hopes that they could sway the decision on marriage equality in California. Altman now acts as Takei's business manager. They're obviously super in love still, Altman describes himself as being “the luckiest person in the world” for being Takei's husband.
1 Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka
We know Neil Patrick Harris as the über straight character Barney Stinson on How I Met Your Mother. He's clearly a wonderfully talented actor who plays a role that represents something hundreds of thousands of masculine dudes would love to be. He has well and truly set the stage for tons of gay actors to play any role they want to in Hollywood, as long as they're talented enough to do so. What a guy! Harris's husband David Burtka is also an actor and a chef. They tied the knot at a ceremony in Italy in 2014, in which Elton John was their wedding singer – wow! They had already been together for more than ten years and had kids, so according to Harris it was the next logical step for them. Harris and Burtka have the sweetest, little 5-year-old twins and they often share adorable family photos on Instagram.
