Then this morning, Hayes surprised everyone when he posted the following #TBT picture to his Facebook page:

According to a source close to the couple, the wedding was a very private affair held at their house in Los Angeles.
Congrats to the happy couple!

It must be love. I wasn’t a fan of Will & Grace but I always thought Sean Hayes was great – I think he produces Grimm. BTW, wasn’t there a time with The Gays were hounding Hayes to come out? Well, he’s out, onto Kevin Spacey.

Congrats Sean!

@MarionPaige:
Thanks BJ, um, I mean Marion.
The fact was Hayes attacked the gay community and stated that he had done more for gay rights than anybody.
But of course you would defend anybody who attacked the gay community now wouldn’t you.

Congrats to them.

Congrats… They look happy. I guess he gave up waiting for Will. 😉

@MarionPaige: It wasn’t so much “The Gays hounding” Sean Hayes as it was his annoying about-face as soon as he landed the Jack MacFarland role. I thought Armistead Maupin said it best when he expressed his irritation about Sean to an interviewer, somewhere during the original run of “Will & Grace.”
He described Hayes as a person “who annoys me every time he opens his mouth” because here he was playing this out and proud character who didn’t give a damn what anyone thought about his being gay, yet Sean himself would completely close down whenever a reporter asked a question about his personal life. “No comment.” “Off-limits.”
So, yeah. Congrats, Sean. Whatever.

@MarionPaige: Well that would have made a short run for Will & Grace if he got the part.

The burden of carrying a lie around is immense. Welcome out of the closet and having the courage to live your lives honestly. Why are you dressed alike?

Congratulations Sean and Scott! May you both have many happy years ahead. My lifetime partner of over 52 years and I have been married in Massachusetts for over 10 years and we are both retired and living the American dream. 35 states and counting, support marriage equality and likely by the end of next year all 50 states will support it. Any opposing state that digs its heels in will likely bury themselves as SCOTUS has supported marriage equality and will likely over-rule or deny any opposition to it, making marriage equality a national, equal right.

that thang is quoted in the washington post saying it has ““forensic proof” that it was with Phelps. Sounds like a nightmare for Phelps.
““[M]my phone with the messages between Michael and I is locked up in a safety deposit box in Florida. I also have a 17,000-page forensic report showing everything — all the geo scans, the cellphone tower signals, the pings. And they’re coming from his phone.”
what kind of person uses the term “forensic”?

Nice for them. I still think Hayes is a lousy actor and a really annoying person. He plays the same caricature gay character in every thing he does.

@MarionPaige:
You can tell Marion and BJ are the same person because they both have an inability to actually deal with the topic of the article.
