NEW YORK – 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 Tuesday to uphold Proposition 8. The gay-marriage ban was approved by voters in November, stopping legal nuptials going forward. 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. ___ ABC is owned by the Walt Disney Co . ___ On the Net: "The View": http://www.theview.tv
