Don’t call Elton a married man!

Elton John is glad he got hitched to long-time partner David Furnish, but he’s got an issue with people who call him married. “I hate people saying I’m married,” the singer reveals. “oarriage is a heterosexual term for men and women. We’ve got a civil partnership. It’s not a religious ceremony and I didn’t want to get married. I just wanted a lifetime commitment.” He says he expected an outpouring of hatred from the public for his ceremony, but it never happened. “I thought I might get the odd flour bomb but there was no negative reaction,” he says. “It was the nicest day of my life, with all the people I love most.” [22 September 2006]
