After keeping his private life out of the spotlight for years, David Hyde Pierce has announced his marriage to longtime partner Brian Hargrove.

The former "Frasier" star spoke candidly in an appearance on ABC's "The View." Wearing a wedding band, Hyde Pierce revealed they tied the knot "very quietly" in California on Oct. 24.

The actor and Hargrove, a producer, are still legally wed despite the California Supreme Court's decision to uphold Proposition 8.

Angered by the ruling, Hyde Pierce said Thursday: "It's like, 'Oh great, we made the cut.'"

He called it a "very odd thing" that strangers have a vote on his private decision to marry.
