Harris has often spoken out about his wish to marry his partner, David Burtka. So once the news was out Harris was quick to announce on Twitter the news that he and his partner had basically been engaged for years.
“It PASSED!” he Tweeted Friday night. “Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!! Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this!! A historic night!!”
Then on Saturday he added;
