It's always so refreshing to have someone like Elton John in this Peter Pace/Tim Hardaway/Ann Coulter world. Elton is calling on people to speak out against homophobia in an editorial he wrote for New Statesman, a British magazine.
Here is part of it:
"In December 2005, I was legally bound to the man I love. It's my legal right and my human right. And I wanted everyone to know, I wanted to shout about it. In some countries, my voice would have been drowned out. Maybe even stamped out. Men and women are persecuted and attacked every day all over the world, just because of who they love and who they make love to...My voice has served me pretty well over the years. I hope maybe it can do him some good too. But we need more voices. Whether the bigot is in our local pub or a thousand miles away, we should all stand up and speak out for these basic human rights."
