T.R. Knight had a date with his new man, Mark Cornelsen, Sunday night at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar party. And as if we didn’t like T.R. enough as is, the actor didn’t just take up with some airheaded actor or silly celebutante — he’s dating a guy with serious moral fiber.
Mark is actively involved with the ONE campaign, which provides AIDS education globally and is the 2007 Matthew Shepard Point Scholar, which means he is only one of three students who are honored annually with a college scholarship by the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Mark also graduated from high school a year early and currently holds down several jobs to pay for his San Francisco State University education.

T.R.’s last relationship was with Brothers & Sisters star Luke MacFarlane, but the couple split in early 2007.
