Mark Gatiss – Boyfriend, Gay, Husband, Children

Mark Gatiss identifies his sexuality as gay. In a 2010 interview with The Guardian, he revealed that he once had a girlfriend before he ever had a boyfriend and it was just a phase. He also shared the moment he came out to his parents,

“I dreaded coming out to my dad, but it was taken out of my hands by my mum. I told her I was gay and was ready to tell my dad, but she said: "Don't, you'll kill him." So, I put it off for a bit, then about two weeks later she called me up and said mysteriously: "We've had snow! Oh, look, it's only dad just come in the room," which I took to mean she had told him. 

A year later, I realised that they had dealt with it by not dealing with it at all. I had to go through it all again and confront them about my sexuality. There's a lesson there, in terms of not putting things off.”

He is now a married man. He met his husband Ian Hallard online. The couple married in 2008 in Middle Temple, in the City of London.
