If you read Perez Hilton’s blog, you have known that Neil Patrick Harris is gay for about two weeks.

With the “official outing” from Hilton, who also outed Lance Bass before the singer came out publicly, Harris confirmed the news last night.

“The public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships,” Harris said in a statement. “So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love.”

Harris is best known for playing a young doctor on “Doogie Howser, M.D” and most recently for his role in “How I Met Your Mother.”
