David Hyde Pierce & Brian Hargrove

David Hyde Pierce & Brian Hargrove
David Hyde Pierce, known for his role as Dr. Niles Crane onĀ Frasier, came out about his relationship with Brian Hargrove in 2007. He later married his partner just days before the passing of Prop. 8, the 2008 constitutional amendment, which denied marriage to same-sex couple in California. In 2010 interview at the 92nd Street Y, Pierce shared his thoughts on the importance of marriage to his relationship:
"I felt transformed ... We'd been together 26 years when we were legally allowed to get married in California. We went and did it, and we both agree it had a power, an importance to us in our lives that we can't really put into words, but that is totally palpable and intrinsic to who we are."
