The Canadian film producer described the day as “emotional” as he posted a picture of himself holding hands with his two sons. After nearly three decades of living in the UK, David Furnish was finally sworn in as a British citizen yesterday. He first started his relationship with Elton John back in 1993, and the pair entered into a civil partnership in 2005. Then, when same-sex marriage was legalised in the UK, they got married in 2014. https://www.instagram.com/p/BP7asdZjb_k/ “A very emotional morning for me,” David posted...

As you’ve no doubt heard, Donald Trump is having difficulty finding any performers who’d be willing to play at his inauguration last month, leading him to take to Twitter to complain about “so-called A list celebrities,” who he claims are “all wanting tix to the inauguration.” Sir Elton John was one of the many stars who rejected an offer to perform, with a spokesperson emphatically confirming, “Elton will not be performing at Trump’s inauguration.” For some reason, Bristol Palin has decided...

Elton John and David Furnish celebrate not one, but two anniversaries this week. The husbands, who have been together for 23 years, entered into a civil partnership on 21 December 2005, and later got married on 21 December 2014 after same-sex marriage was legalised in England and Wales. Elton took to Instagram to celebrate the special occasion with his followers, sharing a photo of himself with husband David and stating how “blessed” he feels to have been able to marry his...

It seems a Trump advisor has spoken too soon after claiming Elton John would be singing at President-Elect, Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20. Transition team member, Anthony Scaramucci told BBC Hardtalk Trump would, “be the first American president in US history that enters the White House with a pro-gay rights stance.” “Elton John is going to be doing our concert on the mall for the inauguration,” Scaramucci added. https://twitter.com/BBCHARDtalk/status/801197690360983552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Erm, might be time to check your facts there buddy.

According to The Times, a 19-year-old student had every intention of carrying out a nail bomb attack in Britain, specifically targeting a September 11th Elton John concert. He’s also accused of planning coordinated attacks on Buckingham Palace, Oxford Street, and various military bases throughout London. Haroon Ali-Syed allegedly wanted to use a bomb with a remote timer in order to blow up a particularly crowded area of central London. However, his plans were thwarted when he contacted an undercover police officer online....

Sir Elton John says he doesn’t plan on leaving his children a vast fortune – because he expects them to work for success in life. The veteran singer has son Zachary and Elijah with his husband David Furnish, and has recently hinted he will “phase out” his career to spend more time with his family as he gets older. But despite Sir Elton’s famously expensive taste and lavish parties, he doesn’t want his kids to grow up entirely spoiled, and expects them to...

It is not a surprise for anybody that Russia has a very strict position regarding homosexuality. Not only the country’s policy outlawed homosexuality, but it seems like the public opinion on the matter is one of the most hostile in the world. In fact, Russia is one of the countries where the intolerance regarding gays actually raised during the last years; from 60% of the people pronouncing themselves against gay rights, in 2002, to 72% in 2013. The issue is...

The newly elected Mayor of Venice, Luigi Brugnaro, has taken the media by storm in the past few weeks when he imposed anti gay orders within the city. The latter first stirred a controversy when he mandates to officially withdraw books from primary schools and nurseries depicting homosexuality and disability, thus, provoking fury among the LGBT community. For a second time in a few days, he constructed another order that aggravates the tension towards the LGBT community when he recently...
