Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka profiled by Out

Out just printed dual narratives written by David Burtka and his husband, the better-known Neil Patrick Harris, who has been proving for years that Hollywood agents who advise their clients that coming out will be fatal to their careers are probably lying.

NPH: We found a place in Harlem that a woman had been living in for 40-odd years, and it was roomy and reasonably priced. We went to L.A. and got this moving truck and collected his mattress and bed frame and some stuff we each had in storage, and we started a journey across the country. We stopped in Albuquerque, where my family is, and they gave us some stuff. And we went through Memphis and up to Michigan, where his family is, and picked up his parents’ piano. We went slowly across America, filling up this truck, and by the time we got to New York, we had a new life full of furniture.
