The actor, who is in a relationship with boyfriend Miles McMillan, was the honorary chair at Jeffrey Fashion Cares where he talked about equality in gender and sexual orientation, posted on Footwear News on Tuesday.

"We are living in a time where we are on the precipice of irreversible change toward equality," Quinto said.

He then mentioned how there are states in America that still discriminate against others. He also pointed out the importance of raising awareness when it comes to serious issues.

"At the same time, we're living in a moment when people in Indiana and Washington are crowdsourcing money to actively politicize and monetize bigotry and hatred," Quinto said. "So [raising] awareness for AIDS research and education for LGBT youth and for the legal rights of our community- it's a really important thing, especially now."

Quinto and McMillan have taken a new step in their relationship by moving into a New York pad together. Perhaps, the two might consider having children together someday since the actor told The Hollywood Reporter that he wants to be a father.

"I definitely want kids, for sure," he said. "I gravitate towards the people who have kids. I love fostering relationships with them and watching them discover the world and being a part of that. I definitely want that."
