Sir Elton Weighs In

Elton John had an interesting comment on California's recent Prop 8 battle. Speaking of his long-time partner, John said:

"We're not married. Let's get that right. We have a civil partnership. What is wrong with Proposition 8 is that they went for marriage. Marriage is going to put a lot of people off, the word marriage."

"I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership," John says. "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."

Now, if we can just get Cher to say the same thing, maybe all the fuss could end. :)
