Broadway favorite Neil Patrick Harris and his partner, chef and actor, David Burtka, are featured in the February issue of OUT Magazine, in which tey chat about their releationship. Harris said of Burtka: 'There's something kinetic about him and his being. He's classically sexy, yet he's very much a boy in his energy. It's a great dynamic. When I see people who are equally attractive, they tend to seem more quiet and kind of Marlboro Man-y, and David's the antithesis of that. He's more like Tigger. I'm, in turn, very introspective -- the thinker, rather than the doer.'

He continued: 'We're hyper similar and also incredibly opposite. We share a wardrobe. We have the same shoe size, body size, height, and weight. We're both Gemini. We both like the idea of family -- not a nuclear family, but a social family. Yet, we're incredibly opposite in the way we process information.'
