Kevin McHale joined fellow celebrities Kristin Chenoweth, Tony Hawk and Anthony Bourdain in speaking out for gay marriage as part of a new Human Rights Campaign (HRC) effort.

“Family, to me, is about surrounding yourself with loved ones and having them by your side, no matter what happens,” the 26-year-old “Glee” star said in the clip for HRC’s Americans for Marriage Equality campaign.

He then added, “Committed and loving gay and lesbian couples deserve to have their love, their relationships and their families recognized like everyone else.”

In addition to “Glee,” McHale will next be seen in “Boychoir,” alongside Kathy Bates and Dustin Hoffman.
