That's why the 63-year-old gay singer said he took a stand last week during a performance at a private Beverly Hills fundraiser for the ongoing legal challenge to California's gay marriage ban. The outspoken British piano man, who became a parent to a baby boy on Christmas Day with partner David Furnish, added that "as I get older, I get more angry about it."
I don't have a problem with gay. Theoretically I don't have a problem with gay marriage.
But I don't want to pay for it.
You let gays marry legally and now spouses are eligible for their for the spouses social security, insurance, everything.
The whole current marriage/money social system was based on 1 spouse works, the other has no skills, no work ability safety net. A way to pass on assets to someone who would end up with nothing otherwise.
I don't think that applies anymore.
Instead of legalizing gay marriage - how about getting government out of marriage entirely? Everyone can have a church wedding with pretty flowers and do everything else with a lawyer.
That would be equal and fine with me.
