'Sir' Elton's gay partner is no 'Lady'!

'Sir' Elton's gay partner is no 'Lady'! Washington | December 23, 2005 7:11:25 PM IST

Sir Elton John and his longtime partner David Furnish may have finally united in a civil ceremony on Dec 21, but the latter will not be referred to as a Lady, even though his partner is a Knight, according to etiquette authority Debrett's.

In Britain, it is customary for wives of knights of the realm to take the title of Lady in place of Mrs, but the rule will not extend to gay civil unions, which became legal in the UK this week.

"Even though they are married, people should still address him as Mr David Furnish," a spokesman for Debrett's, publishers of Peerage And Baronetage was quoted by Contactmusic,as saying.

Meanwhile Elton's close pal Liz Hurley was the cynosure of all eyes at the reception ceremony of the couple, in her flowing white dress with a matching fur stole complemented by drop arrings and a sparkling diamond necklace. (ANI)

...or we could just call his spouse "Dame Elton" and sidestep the question entirely...

This is so disgusting it's beyond words and unworthy of conversation.

Don't blame me, if anyone neeeds blame it is the UK MP's who voted for this perversion and the MSM who are wallowing in it.

I think Elton is the wife in this equation. He looks like a 60 year old female school teacher or social security office worker. Drab, drab, drab!

How about "Thing 1" and "Thing 2"?

"From what I've seen Elton's the wife."

Which would make his betrothed a "Knight Rider".

"Cynosure of all eyes" is a phrase from Hamlet, meaning the center of attention.

Maybe Elton and partner should publicly define who plays what marital role

As I understand it, they are not "married", nor is one the husband and the other the wife. They are merely "partners" in a civil union, but they are not married.

A cynosure is something that attracts attention by its brilliance or shininess.

It comes from the Greek for "dog's tail" because that's what the Greeks called the extremely bright stars, including the Pole Star, in the constellation Ursa Minor.

Greek sailors could often these them even through fog and guide their ships by the "dog's tail".

Can't say I've seen the likes of them while pheasant hunting in the Dakotas.
