From Ellen and Portia to Elton and David, PinkNews takes a look at some of our favourite LGBT couples.

1 Elton John and David Furnish

The veteran singer and his partner were the highest-profile couple to enter an early civil partnership back in 2005 – the first day that civil partnerships existed.

The pair – who have two sons – would later convert to a marriage on the same date nine years later.

2 Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka

The handsome couple – who met twelve years ago – are the gay dads we all hope to be.

Ruling Instagram with their adorable posts, the pair up their Halloween game year on year with the help of their gorgeous twins Harper and Gideon.

3 Matt Bomer and Simon Halls

Another devilishly handsome pair of gay dads – they have sons Kit, Walker and Henry – Bomer married Halls in 2011. However, the couple only revealed they were married in 2014.

“Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment,” Bomer told Halls. Swoon…

4 Sarah Paulson and Holland Taylor

Proving that age is well and truly just a number, this stunning pair of stellar actresses confirmed their relationship earlier this year.

Taylor has described the relationship as “the most wonderful, extraordinary thing that could have ever possibly happened in my life.”

5 George and Brad Takei

This glorious pair have been together for an impressive 28 years.

The pair met at a running club, after George asked Brad to train him for his first marathon.

May this adorable couple continue to live long and prosper (WE HAD TO).

6 Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi

These American sweethearts – who recently ‘adopted’ – have been together for 11 years and have paved the way for many LGBT couples across the US.

“The truth is, and this is corny, I fall more in love Portia all the time. I really do. She surprises me all the time,” DeGenres said of her wife.

7 Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black

The recently engaged Olympic diver and Oscar winning writer recently celebrated their three year anniversary, as they continue to go from strength to strength (just don’t mention Sam Smith).

8 Wanda Sykes and Alex Sykes

Wanda Sykes is one of the funniest people in the world but she is also a mother of twins with her wife, Alex Sykes.

The two were married in California in 2008 and the Curb Your Enthusiasm actress continues to inspire and break stereotypes with her groundbreaking comedy.
