13 Longest Running LGBTQ+ Relationship In Hollywood
Being married to the love of one’s life is truly an indication of a lucky inpidual, especially when you are in a same-sex relationship and have to deal with society’s prejudice and hatred. This becomes even more difficult when you are a Hollywood celebrity who is always in the limelight. But some people persevere and are tenacious in the face of love. Here are 13 LGBTQ+ Hollywood celebrities who have been with their partners for more than a decade now.
1. It has been 20 years since Jim Parsons and husband Todd Spiewak met on a blind date.

3. Elton John and David Furnish have been in love with each other since 1993.

And it was a criminal act,” Elton shared at the time.
4. It has been more than half a century since Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner fell in love.

She had on hot pants, stretchy boots that went up to her knee, and a little backpack. I don’t know what it was, but I was in love.”
5. George Takei and Brad Altman have been together since the ’80s.

10. It has been 15 years since Tan and Rob France met on a dating app.

Walter Mcbride / WireImage / Getty ImagesThe Magic Mike actor and Hollywood publicity mogul have a private family life. The couple got married in an intimate affair in 2011. “It was very chill,” Bomer told Out magazine. “Very small: only our nearest and dearest. There’s a security, a validity of knowing that it’s legal. It’s hard to put into words. It’s just a feeling, I guess, something about saying vows in front of the people around who love and support you. I think it was good for our family.” The couple has three kids together.
13. Michael Kors and Lance LePere first started dating in the early 1990s.
