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."

Are you saying people with money don't have issues or shouldn't have issues?

I'm so tired of this guy. Let me be first in line to show him the door. Go complain about something to your own country.

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.
