Elton opens wallet to support gay marriage
The great Elton John, who married his longtime partner David Furnish in the United Kingdom last year, has donated $20,000 to Fair Wisconson, a group trying to defeat a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban gay marriage in Wisconsin. Voters will decide the issue Nov. 7.
Elton has been giving us memorable music for nearly 40 years now and as he has evolved as an openly gay man, he has become a real activist, raising many millions each year through his AIDS foundation and always speaking his mind on gay issues. It's great to see him putting some of his money where his mouth is!
