(New York) After keeping his private life out of the spotlight for years, David Hyde Pierce has announced his marriage to longtime partner Brian Hargrove.
The former “Frasier” star spoke candidly in an appearance on ABC’s “The View.” Wearing a wedding band, Hyde Pierce revealed they tied the knot “very quietly” in California on Oct. 24.The actor and Hargrove, a producer, are still legally wed despite the California Supreme Court’s decision Tuesday to uphold Proposition 8. The gay-marriage ban was approved by voters in November, stopping legal nuptials going forward.
Angered by the ruling, Hyde Pierce said Thursday: “It’s like, `Oh great, we made the cut.’”
He called it a “very odd thing” that strangers have a vote on his private decision to marry.




I am very happy for David Hyde Pierce, I believe every one should be commited by marriage to the one they love. But I will forever have a crush on Niles!
I’m very happy for David Hyde Pierce,I think every one should be able to be committed by marriageto the ones they love. But I will always have a crush on Niles!!1
I wish every place was like Vermont. Other places don’t care who or what you love, if it’s not what they’d do they won’t accept it. The world needs to open their eyes.
i think david hyde pierce is on the right track his thinking is logic no matter how private you all are it effects all of us that some dont have the same rights as others it makes them feel like they have made the cut or that they are the choosen few who can only benefit from this when every one who wants to get married should !!!
