In September 2012, Ferguson and his lawyer husband, Justin Mikita, started the non-profit charity Tie The Knot, [16] an effort to raise funds in support of same-sex marriage, using bow ties sold to retail. [17] They officially launched it as their engagement announcement in an online video where they explain only seven states at the time had same-sex marriage. [17] [18] [19] In an interview Ferguson stated that he wanted to do something that was smaller and manageable in case it did not work out as a business model. [20]

The foundation sells limited-edition bow ties to support organizations that advocate for same-sex marriage. [21] Their collections are designed by the couple plus guest designers, and is sold by The Tie Bar, a Naperville, Illinois-based online men's neckwear company. [21]

In January 2013, the couple were recruited by Lieutenant Governor of Illinois Sheila Simon to lobby legislators to pass SB10 which would allow same-sex marriage. [21] The bill passed both legislative houses, [22] [23] and Governor Pat Quinn signed the bill into law, [24] going into effect on June 1, 2014. [25]

In October 2013, the American Civil Liberties Union named Ferguson the celebrity ambassador for the LGBT community. [26] He participated heavily in the ACLU's "Out for Freedom" campaign [27] [28] They noted that Ferguson travelled to New Mexico, his home state, to take part in same sex marriage efforts. Before the state's full legalization of same-sex marriage on December 19, 2013, New Mexico did not explicitly permit or prohibit same-sex marriage; it was the only state lacking a statute or constitutional provision explicitly addressing same-sex marriage. [29] The couple's non-profit made a grant of US$10,000 to the ACLU of New Mexico for same sex efforts. [27]

In November 2013, a pop-up retail store for 'Tie The Knot' was located at the Los Angeles Beverly Center featuring the fourth collection from the couple, [30] including professional athlete designs with Scott Fujita and Chris Kluwe, and Brittney Griner. [31]

[32] They married in Manhattan on July 20, 2013, [33] with the playwright and screenwriter Tony Kushner officiating at their wedding. [5] The couple have two children, Beckett Mercer Ferguson-Mikita born on July 7, 2020 [34] and Sullivan Louis Ferguson-Mikita born on November 15, 2022. [35]

Virginia.

The law took effect on January 1, 2013 after 52.4% of voters approved a statewide referendum held on November 6, 2012. The vote was hailed as a watershed moment by gay rights activists and marked the first time marriage rights in the United States had been extended to same-sex couples by popular vote.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">History of gay men in the United States</span>

This article addresses the history of gay men in the United States. Unless otherwise noted, the members of same-sex male couples discussed here are not known to be gay, but they are mentioned as part of discussing the practice of male homosexuality—that is, same-sex male sexual and romantic behavior.

Same-sex marriage has been legal in Missouri since the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which struck down state bans on marriages between two people of the same sex on June 26, 2015. Prior to the court ruling, the state recognized same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions pursuant to a state court ruling in October 2014, and certain jurisdictions of the state performed same-sex marriage despite a statewide ban.

In the United States, the history of same-sex marriage dates from the early 1940s, when the first lawsuits seeking legal recognition of same-sex relationships brought the question of civil marriage rights and benefits for same-sex couples to public attention though they proved unsuccessful. However marriage wasn't a request for the LGBTQ movement until the Second National March on Washington for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Washington (1987). The subject became increasingly prominent in U.S. politics following the 1993 Hawaii Supreme Court decision in Baehr v. Miike that suggested the possibility that the state's prohibition might be unconstitutional. That decision was met by actions at both the federal and state level to restrict marriage to male-female couples, notably the enactment at the federal level of the Defense of Marriage Act.
