George Michael to wed same-sex partner
Last Updated Wed, 30 Nov 2005 12:47:44 EST
Pop singer George Michael says he plans to wed his longtime partner Kenny Goss under a new British law making gay unions legal.
They plan a small private ceremony after Dec. 21, when the law creating civil partnerships becomes effective in the U.K.
George Michael plans civil union.
He and Goss have been together about 10 years.
The new British legislation permitting same-sex unions has brought forward a slew of couples ready to tie the knot.
Elton John has announced he plans to marry his partner, Toronto's David Furnish, possibly before the end of the year.
Michael, 42, says he thinks he and Goss will have a ceremony early next year. "I'm sure Kenny and I will be doing the old legal thing, but we won't be doing the whole veil and gown thing," he said in an interview with Associated Press.
He says they want to marry because he could get hit by a bus and Goss could end up with nothing. Michael came out in 1998 after being arrested in Los Angeles for performing a lewd act(i.e looking for sex in a Beverly Hills public park men's restroom).
Michael, former lead singer of Wham!, also had a successful solo career in the 1980s. He announced in 2004 that he would not release any more albums and that any new music he makes will be available online.
Britain's Civil Partnerships Bill gives same-sex couples the right to form legally binding partnerships and entitles them to some of the same tax and pension rights as married couples.
If I'm not mistaken, that's what a will is meant for.
Gives new meaning to all his songs, doesn't it? Yeeech!!
Do you Turd Burglar take Pillow Biter to be your lawfully wedded .....?
I honestly wonder what William Shakespeare, John Milton, George Herbert, John Donne, George Whitfield, John Wesley, Charles Dickens and a host of other of English greats would be writing at this point...
another nail on the coffin of Western Civilization!!!
The MSM will repeat it and breathlessly report it, again and again, until you get used to the Sacrament, and learn to celebrate it.
You are getting drowsy.
Your eyelids are heavy.
They are participating in a blessed event, NOT hijacking State Sanctions for doing filthy things to each other's bums.

We have Gay friends..two couples. They themselves are baffled by the Press pressure, and wonder if it is propeganda by Fundies designed to create a backlash. As others have posted, there are existing legal arrangements to leave legacies to parnters..or one's goldfish, or cat, etc..etc. Therefore the biggest excuse given is simply a red herring.
It'll never last......
Yeah, 'cause wills don't work, don't ya know.
Notice how they are using marriage and civil union interchangably. And weddings are about marriage. All those who say they are for homosexual civil unions and against homosexual marriages are either stupid or dishonest.
HA!!!
And then.
...there's the odor.
Who's his partner? Howard Dean? :)
Whoever draws the short straw gets Whammed.
