Neil & David attend Muppets premiere + LA Gay & Lesbian Center Gala

By Rach | Published Sun Nov-13-11 -

Yesterday Neil and David attended both the Muppets movie premiere and the LA Gay and Lesbian Center’s 40th Anniversary Gala and Auction. We’ve added photos from both events to our gallery.

Neil was interviewed by HollywoodJunket and FilmFracture at the Muppets premiere.

Then in the evening, Neil and David were honoured with the Rand Schrader Distinguished Achievement Award at the “40 Years of Family” themed event for the LA Gay and Lesbian Center. Greg in Hollywood has a nice rundown of the event & Neil and David’s speech here.

“We are so honored to be here on the 40th anniversary of this incredible and important institution,” Harris said before slipping into humor and adding: “It’s hard to believe that it’s been 40 years since The Center first invented gays and lesbians. And we are so happy that they did.”

David, taking on the straight man role if you will, added: “More to the point, 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.”

Neil then paid tribute to other famous gay parents before them like Dan Savage and Cynthia Nixon, BD Wong, Cat Kora. Ricky Martin, Sara Gilbert, Clay Aiken, Rosie O’Donnell, among others who he described as “courageous people who stood tall long before it became acceptable to do so.”

“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.”
