Lunch Break Video: See Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka receive award from Jane Lynch

Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka received the Rand Schrader Distinguished Achievement Award at Saturday night’s 40th anniversary LA Gay and Lesbian Center gala.

The Center has provided this video of Jane Lynch’s introduction of the couple and of Neil and David’s acceptance speech which was funny and moving.

“We are extraordinarily grateful that we are able to stand here today as a same-sex couple with children and not feel like we are some kind of freak show or some kind of government experiment gone awry,” said David.

Added Neil: “The fact is, David and I don’t even consider ourselves true activists. There’s a lot of other people who do that heavy lifting. Sometimes we choose to raise our voices so that the world can hear us but other times we just, frankly, we just want to curl up at home and be a family together.”
