ELTON JOHN SOLVES GAY MARRIAGE CONTROVERSY

One of the world’s most prominent gay entertainers offered some rare common sense on the explosive issue of same sex marriage. In New York City for a gala AIDS benefit, rock legend Sir Elton John appeared with his long-time partner, David Furnish. “We’re not married,” he told the press, “Let’s get that straight. We have a civil partnership…I don’t want to be married! I’m very happy with a civil partnership. 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”.
If more people on all sides of this issue embraced the simple, irrefutable logic of this clear-thinking superstar, a vastly divisive, unnecessary controversy could reach a successful and amicable solution.
Elton John isn’t gay. He is bisexual. He admits to being attracted to some women.
He used to be married (to a woman). I guess he learned his lesson.
I heard Elton wasn’t happy that Furnish was having sex behind his back.
Their hatred comes from something more than a word. Probably hatred of religion steeped in a deep pot of Bush Derangement Syndrome.
Sheesh, that is what has been mentioned forever. Just call them civil unions and you get to have your way. If you insist on calling it gay marriage it is a deal breaker. How difficult is it???
particularly with regards to his hatred of George Bush.
Elton John must be a FREEPER.../sarc. Seriously FREEPERS’ hate for George Bush has been vast lately.
"They can't do that to our pledges. Yeah, only WE can do that to our pledges."
Homosexual activists resorted to using the heavy-handed and rather lowbrow tactic of trying to hijack and redefine an English word, “marriage”, simply because they felt a childish need to “stick it” to normal, traditional Americans.
The sodomites and lesbians were not satisfied to mind their own business and graciously accept the “civil union” as their gift from liberal state legislatures. No. They needed an ongoing “culture war” to constantly feed their sociopathic martyrdom complex and the “civil union” language didn’t cause the uproar and the outrage they had hoped for. They had to find a new way to really get under the skin of the “breeders”.
Ahh.... let’s demand “marriage”. That’ll make ‘em put up their dukes!
Personally, I never gave a rat’s behind what the sodomites did to each other in the privacy of their own hot tubs, but now I want them to lose on every issue that is of importance to them because it was they, not me, who declared war. To hell with them all.
Yeah he likes both men AND boys.
Which is a real shame. The guy just sat there like a punching bag fror eight years, barely whispering any defense of himself as the rats and their newsrooms buried him under lie after lie after lie. It's tough to stand up for somebody who won't stand up for himself.
Mrs Janet John lol

The problem is radical gay activists are not looking for a compromise. What they want to do is to impose their lifestyle and its values on Californians and their children. Whether "they like it or not."Now marriage is defined as between one man and one woman in the state constitution- whether they like it or not.
