10 Celebrity Gay Couples who inspire us to believe in ‘Love has no Gender’
“Love is never wrong”
When a famous personality comes out as gay or sexually fluid, they pave the way for thousands of others, majorly common people like you and I to accept ourselves and also propagate a message to society to accept people as they are. It is high time we realize the fact that we’re living in the 21st century and shed our prejudices and homophobic tendencies to make this a better world for this lot of people who face hassles at every stage of their lives when there is absolutely no reason for them to go through it.
What better than enlist the most popular celebrity couples we have today who inspire us to be who we are, unabashedly. These are the true power couples for us! Let’s have a look!
1. Ellen DeGeneres & Portia de Rossi
We had to kick off this list with THE IT couple, hadn’t we? DeGeneres, the queen of the talk show realm, and her wife who’s starred in Arrested Development and ABC’s hit show Scandal tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2008 and have given us the couple goals ever since! “Being her wife is the greatest thing that I am,” the comedian wrote on their anniversary in 2017.
2. Jesse Tyler Ferguson & Justin Mikita
Modern Family’s Mitchel Prichett played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who is gay on the sitcom as well, married his boyfriend of two years Justin Mikita in a lavish ceremony in 2013 in New York City. Their social media is filled with some delightful PDA and what’s more? They welcomed their first child together, a boy, whom they named Beckett Mercer Ferguson-Mikita.
3. Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka
When the gay marriage equality bill passed in New York in 2011, Neil and his partner, David Burtka, tweeted their engagement announcement. Well, they had already been engaged for 5 years and parents to twins Gideon and Harper. They’re all often sighted together and don’t they paint a happy family picture for us!
4. Elton John & David Furnish
Here’s one couple whose story tells us how love lasts through everything! Together since 1993, they were “instantly” attracted to one another when they met, John told Parade magazine in 2010. They’ve been one of the earliest to come out and inspire others.
5. Jim Parsons & Todd Spiewak
The Big Bang Theory’s Sheldon Cooper might have found his love in Amy Farrah Fowler but in reality, he’s found his ideal love in Todd Spiewak and they got married in 2017. Though Parsons abstains from revealing too much about his personal, its his sexuality that he’s never been shy of admitting and we admire that!
6. Kristen Stewart & Dylan Meyer
Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer have been dating for over a year now and Stewart even went ahead to say she’s ready to propose! Well, for those of you who don’t know. Mayer is a screenwriter and though the couple had known each other for years they reconnected much later at a party and romance has been brewing between them ever since!
7. Ellen Page & Emma Portner
Ellen Page, now, Elliot Page, announced his divorce in December 2020 and revealed that he was coming out as transgender. The couple had married in 2017 and remained in marital bliss for 3 years before separating. Things between the couple are amicable and while they’re no longer together, they had always shattered stereotypes, more so now with Page’s revelation.
8. Cynthia Nixon & Christine Marinoni
Here’s one story you shouldn’t miss. The Sex and the City’s Cynthia Nixon began dating Marinoni in 2004 and they got married in 2012. The couple also has a son named Max Ellington. Well, Nixon had been married to Danny Mozes for 15 years, and talking out coming out as a lesbian she said. “I don’t really feel I’ve changed. I’d been with men all my life, and I’d never fallen in love with a woman. But when I did, it didn’t seem so strange. I’m just a woman in love with another woman.”
9. Sarah Paulson & Holland Taylor
This is one couple that truly proves ‘Love knows no boundaries’! Their tale of romance can easily make one forget the 32-years of difference they have. Though they’d met years earlier, the American Crime Story actress and Taylor officially confirmed their romance in 2016.
10. Ricky Martin & Jwan Yosef
While people were quite aware of their love, they took fans by surprise by announcing their marriage in 2018. The pair now has a family of 6 with 4 children: twins Matteo and Valentino, daughter Lucia, and son Renn.
