Gay men and straight women have been natural allies for years, sharing relationship horror stories and top billing on popular '90s sitcoms. And now that there are so many out and proud celebrities, and such adorable ones, too, that we don't see any reason why we should limit our crushes to heterosexuals. Here are seven of our favorite famous gay men, and the reasons we love them so (yes, like that).

Neil Patrick Harris

Because he handled a public outing with grace, nonchalance, and dignity. Because he makes being a gay icon for the 21st century look easy while playing a … Read More

No one has probably ever told you this but being a successful twentysomething living in New York The City isn't all peaches and cream. There's job stress, living situation stress, friendship stress, relationship stress and sometimes Bob Saget smugly reminisces about the whole sordid affair. While How I Met Your Mother is framed as flashbacks (narrated by Saget) of the protagonist's (Ted) quest to find a woman to make babies with him, the ensemble brings much more to the table than that.

We spend a lot of time thinking about celebrities' dating, canoodling, and marriage partners. It's kind of an occupational hazard. Eventually you see patterns forming, and while of course we can’t know what's actually going on in the private lives of our favorite entertainers and media fixtures, that doesn't stop us from admiring and trying to emulate them at times, whether it's a fantastic outfit or what looks like an effortlessly happy, mutually supportive relationship. And then there are the disasters, the twosomes we wish would break up and put each other, and us, out of their misery. Read on … Read More

There have been a few rumors being batted around that say Neil Patrick Harris is expecting a child. Seeing as he and his partner, the super cool David Burtka, are both men and thus incapable of becoming pregnant, we were mildly skeptical of the story. Jokes aside, obviously NPH and David Burtka could very easily have secured a surrogate (possibly David Crosby?) but the star of How I Met Your Mother has told New York Magazine that they are waiting a bit before they become parents though he says that he and David "would make … Read More

So, are Neil Patrick Harris and his longtime partner David Burtka expecting a baby via a surrogate mother? Star magazine reported earlier this week that the couple were going through Growing Generations, the same agency that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick used for the twin girls they are expecting in July. Sources even revealed that Neil and David had made it through the screening process and were relieved that they could start going through surrogate profiles to find the right woman to carry their baby. The source even went on to say, “Neil and David … Read More

There was a pretty out-wait for it-standing episode of How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) on the television last evening (it was a rerun, episode # 58, Season 3, "The Bracket"). At any rate, Barney (played by Neil Patrick Harris (NPH)) has a problem with a jilted lover busting up his game (not his chifarobe) and the gang sets out to find out who it is using an NCAA Tournament Bracket. As usual, hilarity ensues.

Although Barney doesn't learn the identity of this lady (that happens in episode #63, Season 3, "Everything Must Go"), he does eventually … Read More
