David Hyde Pierce Announces Marriage to Brian Hargrove

After keeping his personal life to himself for years, David Hyde Pierce has announced his marriage to longtime partner Brian Hargrove.

The actor spoke openly about it this morning on The View. Sporting a wedding ring, Hyde Pierce revealed they tied the knot in California on October 24.

The actor and Hargrove are still legally married, despite the California Supreme Court's decision Tuesday to uphold Proposition 8. The gay marriage ban was approved by voters in November, preventing legal nuptials in the future.

Rightfully angered by the ruling, Hyde Pierce said: "It's like, `Oh great, we made the cut," adding that it's a "very odd thing" that strangers have a vote on his private decision to marry.

We couldn't agree more.
