Neil and David has a part in redefining what it means to be a successful,committed gay couple out in Hollywood – And I love these picture who showing the normalcy of two happy people who love each other – Neil and David are doing a fantastic job when it comes to gay visibility………
Every time we see pictures of them together – we can see the chemistry between them. So happy for them!
Emma says:

Elin says:

I am so impressed with them and the way they handle their relationship.It can not be easy in the world they live in! It’s hard enough to get a long term relationship work without be in the spotlight all the time, and that they do that, just live there lives without shame, stand tall and show us that true love exists – give me hope…:)
I think they will never understand how much it means that they show the world that love is the same – regardless of gender. I think they are pioneering when it come to this – they increase the understanding of people who oppose gay rights – every day. Thank you for being willing to share some of it with us! And that they are willing to talk about it: Keep up the good work.
Love you both. Indescribable beautiful pictures of you

After reading the article on the front page today, I had to come back to give my comment: I live in a country where we have equal rights – also the word marriage. I have since 2008 tried to learn how the politics works in the U.S ,and for me U.S. is the country with a double morality in so many ways – I do not understand what people are afraid of and how much homofobia it`s around. ( What have Religious believes anything to do with love???)
Sometimes I think some people think that the love they share is “less” because they are gay.
Therefore it is essential that Neil and David are willing and have the courage to do it- is so importendt – to stand up, showing that their love is as strong,normal,sensetive, important, emotional, romantic, the affection they share as any other stright couple. They show that they are so love with each other – and that people need to see.
they make the way easier for gay people who come after them….
I love them together .And this is the most beautiful pictures of them -from the life they share together 🙂
They are a lovely couple and I cheer for you:)

Is it possible to put up some more pictures from the party or point us in the right direction to find them ourselves?

Mauren says:
I can not stop and look at these amazing photos, of two happy people so totally in love with each other.
Brian says:
Great, great pics. Any idea where this party was held?
cathryn says:
Can you try to get an interview with David – I know that he does not usually give interviews – but you can ask. Because we know little about him and I think he has an interesting story to tell….:)
It would be nice and to hear his story – his ” coming out” process, and he was in a 10-year relationship before he met Neil ( from he was very very young)(but not about his twins – that is out of line – too private – since he and neil do everything they can to keep them out of the spotlight). How he handles too be a part of a power couple.If it was hard to be together before Neil was officially out, The fact that he renewed himself and headed back too school again and changed profession. How it was to start a new business. Will he occasionally still peforme? etc
They are a georgios couple – how did they manage to keep their love alive – in the busy everyday life they have.
Eric says:
Now I waiting on Regis & Kelly, Because I hear that Neil talked about David’s surprise party for nearly nine minutes – I look forward to hearing more of the story behind thise super beautiful photos of the happy couple.
I still have a hard time too understand why they are willing to put themselves out there and show us the love between them. Thank you Neil and David, you guys are so kind too us, and thank you that you are willing to put your self out there and share
this with us. I’m so happy for everything you do for us all!
You do an important job for so many people- for those who are struggling to accept their own sexuality and for those people who do not understand or accept that Love is love.
many hugs to both of you:)
WTP says:
Wow that was an amazing interview. It was so great too have the story behind these amazing pictures. It’s tough done – too talk about, in a so natural way in the middle of the day talk show – in the mainstream. I can not count how many times David was mentioned etc…. It was just funny and fantastic – love it and love David and Neil together! You guys rock:)
Molly R says:
I just loved loved it , it was a great show. And you could see body language too Neil that he was still so proud that he managed too pull it off.He could not sit still on his chair. And David had know idea what he was in for.
Slater says:
This made me awwww so loud when I saw it. I love them so much! And on top of everything, we got this wonderful interview where he talked about store behind the pictures and David!
Seriously! RIDICULOUSLY cute
Kirsty says:
OMG, it’s so HILARIOUS, Neil seemed so excited, he could hardly wait to tell about David and the party.
I can’t stop laughing at their re-enactment of the big surprise party mystery. And I love Neil’s impressions of David’s reactions and how they convinced him to go!( David you almost missed your surprise party!)
” Mark says the great line – ‘no, come… we’ll have a… gannoli'” Neil – ” And that for some reason convinces David!”
Neil and David are just gorgeous together and the gay community is very lucky that you are willing too put yourself out there….:)
and you two are the best role models anyone could wish for:) but most of all you are happily in love with each other
CousinHenry says:
I always thought David was a chef, working for private multi-millionaires. Nonetheless, they are, indeed, so Happy together and definitely Love one another. Has it been 6 yrs. already for them??
Totally love these guys and how they live their lives out of the closet!! Love to NPH & David!
Jexi says:

Dorothy says:

Mary says:
I would also appreciate help locating the birthday pictures on Facebook. Thank you to anyone who can help!!
Jonathan says:
This is so beautiful too see. Simply pure love 🙂
I love them together, and one way they choose to live their lives – with no shame what so ever ( they don`t hide in the shadow) They show us who they are and that I like.
They also show the rest of us who supportive and proud they always are of each other.
Every good long term relationship takes alot of work and I am proud that they do that. They do not give up every time it becomes difficult ( something all relationship are going true)but many celebrities have a tendency to do that. Therefore I think D&N relationship becomes stronger and stronger!they are good role models for every couple
An pleace try to get a interview with David. We want to know more about him. And I admire him for the way he behave. There are no kiss and tell from him ( like many other who have a famous bf/gf.
cooper says:
I hope that now when pro8 was declared as unconstitutional! That Neil and David can and will get legaly marry.
I think in the way they live there life (both in private/ in the public eye)and what it`s mean to be a gay couple They are changing people’s perception of gay people every day.
They are a very good example of why everyone should have equal rights under the law.
