Elton John feels like second-class citizen

It looks as though Elton John has finally taken enough harassment and persuasion behind the scenes and is now falling in line to what a “proper gay” should think.

“ “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. We need people to say, ‘OK. I’m straight. You’re gay. Let’s get along. I’m Republican. You’re Democratic. Let’s work together.’ I’m sick and tired of people being hateful to each other in this country.”

John disappointed some gay rights activists after California’s Proposition 8 banning gay marriage passed 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.”

Notice how he is now using the progressive left wing language like “vitriol”. Let’s face it, progressives just were not going to allow him to have a mind of his own on this issue especially after singing at Rush Limbaugh’s wedding. Sometimes a person can only take so much criticism before they fall in line.

Elton John has said he supports civil unions before.

"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,"

"You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships."
