Elton John is reportedly getting married. Or is he? Britain's new civil partnership law goes into effect on December 5, but is it "marriage"? According to this story, civil partnerships are available for gays and lesbians only--heteros need not apply. They have to get married or nothing. Most of the news sources I've seen are using the words wedding and marriage to describe what Elton and his partner David Furnish are planning. But if we're using the same terminology for gays and heteros anyway, why not just use the same laws for everybody?
Who saw Farrah Fawcett on Letterman tonight? Did anybody else think she looked like a Muppet?

Muppet on drugs?
Carrie B, it's good to see you!!
I've often wondered why any gay or lesbian couple would want to embrace a societal convention that straight people see as their own. I'm all for civil unions if they convey equal spousal benefits by law. My only question is whether Elton will maintain his creative fire and remain a truly significant recording artist if he's tied down.
