Meet The World’s Cutest Couple: Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka

Growing up in Los Angeles, I frequently heard mixed opinions about gay marriage. While LA is fairly liberal, I have, too many times, witnessed homophobic responses to two men holding hands on the street or out on a date. Truthfully, for a long time I tried to avoid having an opinion about gay marriage because I was always hearing mixed messages and both sides seemed convincing. “It goes against the bible. Your religion.” Or, “everyone has the right to marry the one they love.”  I struggled with my opinion for quite a while.

However, especially since going to college, I have been able to form my own opinion free from those around me. Out Magazine recently did an adorable photo shoot spread with Neil Patrick Harris and his “better half,” David Burtka. The article describes the men’s relationship in a way that only fortifies my belief that all people should be able to get married, regardless of sexual orientation. Part of this article is an argument against the belief that two gay men can’t have a family because they can’t reproduce. They are not any different than two parents of opposite sexes. This article also argues against the belief that gay marriage destroys the sanctity of marriage. To be honest, it seems to me that Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka’s relationship may be more stable than most heterosexual relationships I see around me.

    I ADORE these two. I love how open they are also, they are paving the way for all LGBQT people.

    And people who use religion as an excuse for homophobia is ridiculous. Catholocism doesn't allow divorce, and thats why a whole other church sprung up so the King didn't have to keep beheading the wives he didnt like. That's cool, but we can't let two committed men or women get married?! Idiotic people get married for the wrong reasons and divorce left and right these days, so who is to say marriage should only be allowed for hetero couples? The world baffles me, it really does.

    aren't they? This is where I get a little upset that too many cute guys end up being gay. It's just not fair!
