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.'
