Brian Hargrove and David Hyde Pierce

American actor and director David Hyde Pierce has one of the most inspiring and long-lasting marriages among the LGBT in Hollywood. He and his husband, David Brian Hargrove, an American television writer and producer, have been married since 2008. The 61 year old Frasier actor came out of the closet years ago and though he is comfortable and confident with who he is, he says that being with his husband doubles that.

David is not only a dedicated actor to all his films and the roles he takes on, but he gives twice the devotion when it comes to his to his lifetime partner as well. Seeing as many look up to him, David is also constantly asked about what it felt like, coming out to the world and living authentic self. To this question, the actor has always had the same answer: “liberating”. As for his marriage, he gives credit to them starting out as friends before developing anything romantic.
