Neil Patrick Harris revealed on Saturday that he's been engaged for years while waiting for the right opportunity to marry his partner David Burtka. Now, he's joining numerous celebrities in praising the approval of a bill in New York State legalizing gay marriage.

"It PASSED! Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!! Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this!! A historic night!" Patrick Harris tweeted after New York's legislature gave final approval to the marriage law late Friday.

The actor followed this up later with another tweet: "David and I did propose to each other, but over five years ago! We've been wearing engagement rings for ages, waiting for an available date."

Damn - what is with some people? And they're the ones always yammering about getting the government out of their private lives. And yet they're the biggest butt-in-skis imaginable.
