HONOLULU -
Actor Jim Nabors says marrying his longtime male partner doesn't change anything about their relationship -- he just wanted it to be formally acknowledged.
The 82-year-old actor best known as Gomer Pyle in "The Andy Griffith Show" told The Associated Press on Wednesday that he just wanted the marriage to be legal.
Nabors married 64-year-old Stan Cadwallader in Seattle on Jan. 15. Nabors says they have been partners for 38 years.
Nabors says they flew from Honolulu just for the short ceremony and were married in a hotel room by a judge friend who drove up from Olympia, Wash.
Nabors says he's not an activist but feels strongly that everyone should be able to choose who they spend their life with.
News of Nabors' marriage was first reported by Hawaii News Now.
