Elton John to Australian PM John Howard: “Up Yours”


Elton John sat down for an interview with Australia’s Seven Network in Sydney to chat about, among other things, his civil partnership with David Furnish: “It was just a commitment I wanted to make because I love him, and vice-versa, and it was just a great day.”


Elton recently arrived in Sydney after puking his way through Brisbane.


Elton John to Australian PM John HowardIn the interview he slammed John Howard when asked if he had a message for the anti-gay Prime Minister. Said Elton to the PM: “Up yours.”


Howard’s most recent action against same-sex unions was to veto legislation proposed by the Australian Capitol Territory (ACT) that would have legalized them.


Said Howard before the veto: “This is not an anti-homosexual gesture. This is a gesture to support the special and traditional place of marriage as a heterosexual union for life of a man and a woman in Australian society. Why we’re against what the ACT is doing is that, in all but name, they are equating same-sex unions with marriage. I don’t support that, not because I’m against homosexuals, but I think there should always be a margin for marriage as we understand it in our society … you don’t equate a gay union with a traditional marriage – that’s our position.”
