Sir Elton John isn't a second class citizen is he? I don't think that he's any class of U.S. citizen. I thought that the tutti-fruitty was a Brit.

How comes it that a foreign national gets ink in America demanding that things...Oh, AP. Sorry.

Didn’t Rush Limbaugh state that Elton John said he wasn’t interested in the ‘gay marriage’ issue? (I may be mistaken)

I think the gay lifestyle is wrong. It is a choice, unlike one’s orientation. Others may disagree. My problem with stances like Elton John has taken is the assumption that those who disagree hate him (although I am sure some do). Most of us just think it is wrong to change the definition of marriage from one man/one woman for life to any other combination. We don’t want the law changed. Many of us would not object to some form of civil recognition of the relationship because we believe in freedom to do things even though we may think they are wrong. But that is not enough for John. He does not equality, he wants equivalency. He is not entitled to that. Gay marriage is not marriage. Stating that fact is not hateful, it is just the truth.

Elton John’s self-image is his own problem...not society’s.

The outspoken British piano man, who became a parent to a baby boy on Christmas Day with partner David Furnish, added that “as I get older, I get more angry about it.”

“In this country, we need more dialogue,” he said during an interview Friday. “We don’t need any more stone throwing. We don’t need any more vitriol.

’ I’m sick and tired of people being hateful to each other in this country’

in 2008 when he said he had no desire to get married and was satisfied with his civil partnership in England. He sang a different tune Wednesday when he praised the effort to overturn Proposition 8 and promised to do everything he could to support it, even though he is British.

"Sir Elton John is "fed up" with being a treated like a "second-class citizen" in the U.S."

Is Elton John a US citizen?
When was Elton John granted US citizenship?

He should try Saudi Arabia instead of the USA. Then he will know what “second class citizen” really means.

Hey Elton stick it where the sun don't shine! But then again you already have (probably thousands of times.)

Elton is free to marry a woman of his choosing, providing she agrees. There is nothing second class about it. Marriage is a union between a man and woman. Elton might have some identity conflict when it comes to distinguishing which he is, but the overall intent and meaning of the institution of marriage isn’t complicated.

I’d give anything to be a “second class” multi-millionaire citizen! Wish I was half as oppressed as Sir Elton, Oprah or any number of these rich elitist A-holes!

People like him are responsible for AIDS in our country period. I’m seeing people on TV telling me that I have to eat far less salt.They say they do not want to pay increased insurance premiums caused by sodium in my diet. They say my “lifestyle” is costing them money.

yeah, Elton John is a real poor fellow. :)

Hey, if he wants to move to California and vote on the issue, go for it.

If Elton is so butt-hurt over being gay in the USA....go back to the UK.
