Elton John: 'F**k You' If You're Against Gay Marriage
Elton John and partner David Furnish may have fame, fortune and a loving family, but the 'Rocket Man' singer won't be satisfied until gay couples are granted the same rights as their heterosexual counterparts.
Last night at billionaire Ron Burkle's Los Angeles fundraiser to overturn Proposition 8, the new father had some choice words for those who oppose gay marriage,
RadarOnline.com reports.
"I think I have it all," said the singer, who
welcomed son Zachary via surrogate last month. "I have a wonderful career, a wonderful life. I have my health, I have a partner of 17 years, and now I have a son. I don't have everything because I don't have the respect of people like the church or like politicians who tell me that I'm not worthy, that I'm lesser because I'm gay, well f**k you!"
John performed a 90-minute set of both new material and his classic hits for the 750-person crowd, which included 'Glee' star
Jane Lynch and
her partner, Dr. Lara Embry.
During the event, which raised more than $3 million for the restoration of marriage equality, John continued to voice his frustration over the disparity between his rights and those of other parents.
"Here I am sitting with a wedding ring and I'm with my partner and we have a son, but we couldn't get married," he said.
Despite his joy over the birth of Zachary, John's road to fatherhood hasn't been without obstacles. Just last year, John and Furnish were
turned down after trying to adopt an HIV-positive boy from the Ukraine, where civil marriages are not legally recognized.
John does, however, have hope for the future. "We have a right to be recognized as a human being. We have to fight the good fight," he said. "And we will win."

I know plenty of people of you. I was married to one and all he could do was abuse me - in any way he could. Believe what you want, but God loves everyone (as the bible says) and I find it quite difficult to believe that our loving God would create so many people only to damn them for the way he made them.
Amen. All this "God says it's wrong, it's in the bible, it's wrong" hysteria is ridiculous. You don't know squat about what the gods want. THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN OVER A PERIOD OF HUNDREDS OF YEARS BY - GUESS WHO? - BIGOTED MEN TRYING TO KEEP THE STATUS QUO!!!
If you know the Bible says God loves everyone, you must also know what it says about homosexuality. And not everything that we do, or want to do, is necessarily the way God made us.
I am truly sorry you were abused.
Gay people are NOT just like everyone else, they are people who give themselves over to their own deviant desires and then have the audacity to say that God created them that way. God did not create people to do perverted and unnatural things and call it love.
Why do homosexuals feel the need to call themselves "gay"? Everyone I have ever seen is always pissed off. Why don't they go back to the old reliable "queer"?

Speak for yourself. I happen to love Elton John's music.
And he has every right to be angry. This kind of social injustice and oppression is ridiculously backwards. So what if he marries his partner? How is that going to change your life in any way?
god didn't say adam and bruce, just incase you don't no, he said adam and eve.

Actually, check your Bible. There are two different Creation stories. The first one says that God created shemales: male and female he created them. Not either/or.
And since the story of Adam and Eve is a myth what difference does it make?
That's something to say to people that listen to your crappie music, don't push your gay crap on people that do not believe in it. I never listen to this retard. You and degenerate or idiots.

Why in the world does anyone care what adults do with their lives, as long as they aren't hurting anyone? Does your Bible tell you to keep tabs on everyone, and be sure they live by it's teachings? You must be very busy, since most of the world isn't Christian.

I or any other straight person on this planet does not take kindly to someone saying "either all of you accept my perverted, disgusting lifestyle, or FU!"
littlecitypunk..get back to work...the hamburgers r burning.

Ellen, if EVERYONE should be allowed to marry the person they love, the 40 yr. old man who falls in love with my 12 year old should be able to marry her! Grandma should be able to marry her adult grandson! Why should he say F*ck them and then cry that he can't have it all because he does not have their support in the same breath? Why should he care if they don't support him if they are insignificant to him? They do NOT raise their son anyway! He lives in another apartment with 4 nannies so they can get their beauty (barf) sleep!
