Love is love! Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor, Elton John and David Furnish, and more famous queer couples have lived out their fairy-tale romances in the public eye. LGBTQ couples do not want to be defined by who they share their bed, their home and their soul. Their choices in life may have been unconventional for some, but that’s their personal choices. LGBTQ individuals want to live responsibly and truthfully without hiding. It’s complicated, because there is a lot of hate in this world, and a lot of good can come from quote-unquote normalizing something for people who don’t see it as normal.

A year later after she came out, she was engaged to Lauren Blitzer – an advocate of LGBTQ rights.  The two eventually got married in 2011 in a Connecticut country estate.

Fashion designer Michael Kors has known Lance Lepere since 1990 as the latter was an intern in Kors’ company. But a business trip to Paris was a game changer as both discovered they had the same tastes – they prefer to play with the idea of Americana, in the fashion sense of the word. Since then, the two became engaged in 2011 and was later married the same year. The venue for their union was Southampton, New York, specifically on Dune Beach. Kors expressed that marrying someone on a beach while barefoot is more than he could ever dream of. And we totally understand that.
