Neil Patrick Harris and Julianne Moore help launch HRC’s national marriage equality drive

“It’ll be nice to get a callous on the other hand.”

Neil Patrick Harris, at the launch party for Americans for Marriage Equality at the Calvin Klein Collection flagship on Monday, Nov. 28, on the potential for adding a wedding band to his ring finger. Despite their five-year engagement, Harris and his partner David Burtka still have not set a wedding date.

Also at the event, Julianne Moore, who noted,

“I think it’s a very basic human rights issue. Everybody has the right to marry the person they love and be represented as a couple and family … It’s something that people will look back on in years to come and say, ‘I can’t believe it took so long for us to recognize this.’ It’ll be like segregation and giving women the right to vote.

Americans for Marriage Equality is the Human Rights Campaign’s attempt to start a nationwide marriage equality drive. (Women’s Wear Daily)
