Has Sense
As thuggish proponents of same-sex marriage continue responding to genuine democracy by assaulting old ladies, holding sensless and cowardly protests at Mormon churches and producing TV ads of staggering anti-religious bigotry, Sir Elton John comes out as a voice of reason and rational perspective in the face of all the hysteria
Sir Elton, who’s been living in his own civil partnership for the last three years, tells USA Today:
“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.”
Wow. Imagine that. It’s possible to give homosexual couples the legal protections they need without changing the definition of marriage, the bedrock relationship of human civilization which has remained male-female for the entirety of recorded human history. Just imagine that.
God bless Elton John for his sane and rational perspective. I wish him and his partner a lifetime of happiness.
Post-Script: the same-sex marriage protesters have targeted the Mormons in multiple cities. Since 70% of the black voters supported Proposition 8, have any of their churches been singled out for protest? It doesn’t seem so, only the Mormons.
I wonder why. It’s a real stumper.
Bravo, glad to hear someone pointing out some good stuff.
Elton John finally make some rational statement. Settle down gay folks, this isn’t about civil rights, its about the abolishment of the 1st Amendment, for “Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of relgion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” There it is, the very first thing in the Bill of Rights. Congress shall make no law, but neither shall the damned courts who are now making law and implementing planks of the Communist Manifesto. Note the Soviet Court in San Francisco recently ruled that parental rights are “severed” when a child crosses the threshold of a school? What? Mayby in Joe Stalin’s USSR, Mao’s China, or perhaps even Hitler’s Germany, but in the United Staets? Such a court ruling is 100% Marxist, a plank of the Communist Manifesto, and such courts are salivating at getting at relgion, which is noted that Prop 8 gives a bit of security against their doing so. Soviet US Courts hate religion, as its abolishment too is called for by Marxists.
Such is the issue that must be remembered, this was not about “denying” rights of gay couples. It is unfortunate government got out of its constitutional straightjacket in the first place and began to involve itself in marriage in the first place. Had it not, gay folks could marry in any church they would be invited to do so in, and other churches that found it incongruent with their doctrine would not be forced, nor have threat from the courts down the road to be forced to do this.

Damn you, Elton, for your logical statement.
You’d better look out, Rocket Man. They’ll be protesting at your house next.
