TV show pays for (ALL NYC) marriage permits to mark gay wedding

[Fearless]

Modern Family has covered the cost of all marriage licenses and wedding ceremonies that took place at the New York City Clerk’s office yesterday (May 12).

Producers of the hit ABC sitcom made the gesture to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of onscreen couple Mitchell and Cam, played by Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Eric Stonestreet.

The actors appeared on Good Morning America to announce the offer, which can be tracked online with the hashtag #ModernWedding.

Commenting on the onscreen couple’s popularity, Stonestreet said: ”It’s a rare opportunity you get as actors. You never think of that when you’re out there auditioning for different parts in TV shows and not getting them, and then to finally get a gig like this that is really, truly – not to put too much importance on it, but owning it a little bit – having social impact, cultural impact.

It's great when doing good is also doing well.
