Neil Patrick Harris is on the cover of the upcoming issue of Out magazine, and sounds a bit more like he’s considering marriage to his boyfriend of four years, actor David Burtka. Harris had previously given some rather contradictory statements about any impending marriage, but now it sounds like he’s getting closer to saying that matrimony is in the works.
Neil Patrick Harris is opening up about making his relationship official with longtime beau David Burtka. “I think if and when we do, we’d probably announce it after the fact as opposed to making any big announcement,” Harris, 35, says in the September issue of Out magazine.
“We both wear rings, and I’m giddy when I see all the pictures of people so happy standing there, confirming the love they wish they could have expressed for a long time,” he explains. “I’m a big proponent of monogamous relationships regardless of sexuality, and I’m proud of how the nation is steering toward that,” he adds.
Harris said being outed by the media in November 2006 “was tricky. Part of the coming-out process is figuring out who you like and what that means, and how to act on it,” he explains. “Being an actor reduced my level of anonymity. I couldn’t just go to some bar and walk in and ask someone out on a date,” he adds. “If I had any regret it would be that strange lack of anonymity that created panic within myself that I would be found out.”

Neil also says his secret celebrity crush is Anderson Cooper. I love it when my gay crush has a crush on my other gay crush. Such drama. Harris has done a good job of not being typecast. He’s successfully played a major womanizer on How I Met Your Mother for several seasons, and his coming out didn’t affect the show’s viewership. As Out points out, it wasn’t much of a big deal with Harris released a statement a few years ago. It sounds like he’s pretty happy with his life and his relationship, and quite possibly getting married in the near future.

I love Neil Patrick Harris. I saw him recently in the Harold and Kumar movie.
-
He is a very likeable person.even if he’s not interested in women.
-
He’ll always be Doogie to me.. *sigh*
-
NPH is seriously one of my heroes. Go Neil!
-
He is so hot, and sweet and funny, as is Anderson Cooper.
Is that wrong that the thought of the two of them together is turning me on.
-
Had a mild crush on him ever since “Starship Troopers” - doesn’t really matter if he’s gay or not, since all actors are soooo out of my world.
-
hahah! Yeah, saintdevil, I’m as likely to score with NPH as I am with Christian Bale, in the whole scheme of things. I’m an equal opportunity luster.

Wrong. So very wrong.

Ok. I have to admit he’s clever and I LOVE clever men. He’s also VERY confident which is very sexy, David’s lucky.
I also enjoy that while he didnt actually say the word “queenish” I agree with him that being gay doesnt have to be a camp-kitsch fest or faux fem, or promiscuity its very refreshing.
I lost ALOT of friends in the beginning of the AIDS crisis - to me at times it seemed like some of my friends felt trapped by the zeitgeist of an imposed definition of what a “gay lifestyle” should be, to have many partners or engage in risky behavior in order to belong. So its nice to hear someone who has really taken a classy way to make it less of an “alternative” lifestyle to just another way to love.
Love is love and really the only thing you need to ask is: Are you getting enough?
ALIMHO ( that means At Least In My Humble Opinion) -

I really love NPH. And I have a crush on Andy Cooper too. We’re so much alike, we should get married- oh, wait.
