It’s probably been his opinion all along. He seems to crave acceptance. He won’t get any now.

Every justification Elton demanded for his sick lifestyle could be also used for pedophilia, bestiality, necrophilia — they are all about love, too. Civilization must be based on virtue, not “love.”

I watched part of the movie "Transamerica" yesterday. I felt much sympathy for the main character, a man who obtained surgery to conceal his gender. The movie was simply a collection of lost souls and at the end, the main character had been surgically altered and his son had become a porn "actor".

How is this an endorsement of homosexuality? I was left wondering what on earth the participants had intended. Imho, there was an attempt to elicit sympathy for these people, which was successful, at least for me, but if it was also intended to elicit support for their choices it was a dismal failure, at least with me. Was love supposed to conquer all? I haven't a clue.

Raising money to overturn Prop 8?

What are they going to do, bribe the judges?

It is likely to be used for polygamy sooner than any of those conditions which you have just mentioned. There have already been such secular persons as Joe Shapiro (Senior Law Professor at George Washington University) who have argued for, at a minimum to decriminalize polygamy, and give roughly all the same arguments for polygamy as for same-sex marriage (consent, privacy, does no harm on its own, etc.). In addition, if one looks at polygamy, there is probably no worse dirt that some secular humanist would bring up than to argue that Judaism and Christianity are hypocritical for having a polygamist past, while being condemning of it nowadays. Personally, it’s not worth doing in a different world that we live in, where women own their own property and don’t need to marry into royalty, which are two main reasons for the practice in Biblical times. The slippery slope will come faster than you think, and it will likely come on polygamy as among the first cases to challenge traditional values.

these people show they have no class, and certainly no idea what is normal and natural.

I;ve given up on many so called conservative talk show hosts and TV hosts like Hannity.
They have no balls to inform their listeners or viewers about the homosexual agenda but are happy enough to take conservative money.

Conservatism is not half way, it is social and fiscal, if one is fiscal but not social then they’re not conservatives they’re more like libertarians or liberals on social issues

No matter if everyone accepted John's lifestyle, he and his friends would still be pissed because in the depths of their hearts and minds, they know they are going against the natural order of things - they will never be content or satisfied no matter what they say.

It wasn’t more than a few months ago that John said he was opposed to gay marriage and civil unions were good enough.

Go f*ck yourself, Elton:

http://www.celebitchy.com/21719/elton_john_is_against_gay_marriage_says_civil_unions_are_for_same_sex_couples/

“I don’t want to be married,” John told USA TODAY’s Donna Freydkin at a New York fundraiser last night. “I’m very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership,” said John. “The word marriage, I think, puts a lot of people off. You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships.”

Vile. Pray for the poor child that was sold to these two individuals.

Good point — no how many laws, they are still not “normal”
