"Matt Bomer may have come out publicly two years ago, but there&amp;apos;s one secret he&amp;apos;s kept until now&amp;#x2014;he&amp;apos;s married! The Magic Mike actor revealed in this month&amp;apos;s issue of Details magazine that he&amp;apos;s been married to partner Simon Halls for the past three years.\r\nDiscussing his latest role in Ryan Murphy&amp;apos;s TV movie adaptation of The Normal Heart, in which he plays a gay man dying of AIDS during the early days of the epidemic, the actor acknowledges the original play&amp;apos;s writer Larry Kramer for helping pave the way for gay rights.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I wouldn&amp;apos;t have a lot of the rights I have today if it wasn&amp;apos;t for people like Larry,&amp;quot; Bomer told the mag. One of those rights, of course, is same sex marriage. The mag reveals Bomer, who has 6-year-old twin sons and an 8-year-old son with Halls, married the Hollywood publicist back in 2011.\r\n\r\nBomer, who came out in 2012 while accepting an award at the Desert AIDS Project&amp;apos;s Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards, said that he first read The Normal Heart when he was in high school. Upon hearing about the project, he &amp;quot;just wanted to be involved &amp;#x2026;in some capacity.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;At [the time when I read it], I was clueless and obviously in a different place in relation to my sexuality,&amp;quot; he admitted. &amp;quot;I was in romantic relationships with girls&amp;#x2014;whatever that means at 14. And it completely rocked my world&amp;#x2026;It&amp;apos;s just an amazing call to arms.&amp;quot;\r\nThe Blue Collar actor had to lose a shocking 40 pounds for the role, which he accomplished with the help of doctors and a 14-day alkalized-water, juice, tea and enzyme cleanse. Bomer also sought advice from Magic Mike co-star Matthew McConaughey, who similarly shed almost 50 pounds to play AIDS activist in the Oscar-nominated drama Dallas Buyers Club.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;He called me and walked me through what he did,&amp;quot; Bomer recalls of the Academy Award winner&amp;apos;s help. &amp;quot;It was very generous, but I took a slightly different path.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
