VIDEO: MODERN FAMILY's Jesse Tyler Ferguson Ties a Bow Tie for Equality

Jesse Tyler Ferguson of 'Modern Family' will be starting a family of his own with Justin Mikita very soon, as the two became engaged this September. Ferguson revealed his marriage proposal, which Justin accepted, in a video on the Tie the Knot website, a new foundation that supports marriage rights and equality. The couple has since been working with Tie Bar on a line of bow ties to raise money for organizations that support the garnering of civil rights for gay and lesbian marriage.
