Does anyone know what Elton sang? "Do You Know Where You're Goin' To", perhaps? "I Am The Walrus"?

I can't believe he did it.

Probably more like "Who's Sorry Now?"

Yikes! Strange.... indeed!

Four marriages, eh? Well, glad to see this white racist, drug addicted leader of the GOP is doing a good job concerning the sanctity of marriage for heterosexuals. The nerve of him objecting to same-sex marriage! Hummm... trophy wife?

Who-would-have-sex-with-that man?

I know, I'm being mean, but, he really is unstable and a bigot and well, ugly.But maybe I feel this way because of his politics.... just can't see a thing attractive about him.

Just thought of something ... are there little Limbaughs around???

Perhaps it's his bank account...

No, he doesn't have any children that we know of

He is an artist and obviously a good one. Its not like he asked him to kill babies. Maybe Rush will be a little bit less of an a hole and learn something. Maybe not. When it comes to art the only thing that should matter is the art.

He's free to take whatever job he wants, but I don't see anything positive for the community from it. Rush will be revealed as the hypocrite he is to people who already don't like him. To those who agree with him, this will be just one more opportunity to pull out the celebrity version of "My gay friend knows I don't think he should be a full citizen, and he's fine with it, so what's your problem?"

I do hope he donates the money to worthy cause, but I think if he was going to, we would have heard about it by now.

I would rather not have anyone in the queer community be limited to only performing for us and our allies.

Make money off the stupid, that sounds great.

Comedians, painters, singers- queer folks in all sorts of service catagories, do thier jobs for and amoungst the homophobic and transphobic every damn day.

Highlight a 4th marriage with the performance of an artist who is denied such a ceremony? interesting. Many thousands of decisions go in to a wedding. Its an interesting choice for this couple to make. I wonder why they chose Elton.

Hey, maybe its just because his music is AWESOME, and for once, his art was more important that his sexuality.
Bizarrely progressive of the groom....

I just want to point something out. Elton is married in England, he has full rights under English law, he doesn't have them here.
I hope he used the money well, as the asshat Rush is an idiot, and a megalomaniac.

Elton John: Where Prop 8 went wrong

In December 2005, John and Furnish tied the knot in a civil partnership ceremony in Windsor, England. But, clarified the singer, "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."

You are right, my choice of words, not his.

Perhaps he did it just to get the entire world talking about what a douche Rush is again.

I know a lot of queers who get paid to perform services at weddings. For some of them, it's their primary source of income. I doubt anyone is telling them they shouldn't take money from the heterosexuals. Granted, this one happens to be much more visible, involves a substantially larger amount of money and the service provider isn't right on the edge of destitute, but when it comes down to it, it's a well paying gig.
