14 Famous Gay Couples Being Cute Together

In honor of NYC's Pride Weekend, here are some things to warm the cockles of your cold, jaded heart.

1. Ellen Degeneres and Portia De Rossi

More fun here. In a 1997 TIME magazine cover story, Degeneres talked about public curiosity at her coming out. "Let's get beyond this," she encouraged, "and let me get back to what I do. Maybe I'll find something even bigger to do later on. Maybe I'll become black."

2. Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mitika

Further proof that everyone loves a good filter, and selfies are fun.

3. Jim Parsons and Todd Spiewak

Jim Parsons' sexuality is far less surprising than his age. Can you believe Sheldon is 40?

These two walked down a lavish and multicultural aisle in 2008. Just as important — are you seeing the mutton chops on that bagpipe player?

Together with Furnish for about twenty years, Elton John spoke out in favor of gay marriage via the Independent last fall. "There is a world of difference between calling someone your ‘partner’ and calling them your ‘husband’," he wrote. "‘Partner’ is a word that should be preserved for people you play tennis with, or work alongside in business. It doesn’t come close to describing the love that I have for David, and he for me. In contrast, ‘husband’ does."

12. Cynthia Nixon and Christine Marinoni

Along with their daughter and bewildered son.

13. Anderson Cooper and Ben Maisani

Just going for a casual bike ride. In his public coming-out letter to fellow journalist Andrew Sullivan last summer, Cooper explained, "I have given some the mistaken impression that I am trying to hide something – something that makes me uncomfortable, ashamed or even afraid. This is distressing because it is simply not true.”

14. Michael Kors and Lance LePere

Married in a barefoot wedding ceremony on a beach in 2011, these two are surely fun at parties.

15. And — bonus! Here's Sir Ian McKellen being awesome all by himself.
