The air-brushed portrait of a perfect marriage

Image
The other day, under the headline “Portrait of a perfect marriage,” London’s   Daily Mail  gushed in prose so breathless that anaerobic life forms sprouted spontaneously on the screen:  “Eleven years ago this month, Sir Elton John proposed to his partner, David Furnish , thus formalising a relationship that — as the whole world knows — has blossomed into one of the most blissfully happy of show business marriages. “We know this, of course, because Sir Elton and David have been generous enough to share almost every detail of their relationship and family life through the pages of celebrity magazines, in high-profile TV interviews and on social media … Truly, they come across as a wonderfully loving couple.” Leaving aside the need to wipe the screen of one’s laptop and overdose on anti-nausea medication, there cannot now be a literate person in the British Isles who does not know that Elton John and his husband David Furnish are the couple at the centre of the...

Six Americans raised by homosexual parents sent a letter of support thanking openly gay fashion legends Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana for  their recent remarks  defending the traditional family . Gay activists, spearheaded by singer Elton John , have  condemned the pair and urged a boycot t of their fashion line  after they told the Italian magazine Panorama that they oppose gay “marriage” and adoption, find in vitro fertilization unnatural, believe procreation “must be an act of love,” and that “the only family is the traditional one.” The letter, published in  Tempi  this week, says the six signatories – five women and one man – "want to thank you for giving voice to something that we learned by experience: Every human being has a mother...

Deutsch: Logo (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) ROME , March 16, 2015  – Openly gay fashion legends Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are facing a backlash of controversy for saying they oppose gay “marriage” and adoption, find  in vitro  fertilization unnatural, and believe procreation “must be an act of love.” “We oppose gay adoptions,” the two told the Italian magazine  Panorama . “The only family is the traditional one.” “You are born to a mother and a father – or at least that’s how it should be,” Dolce said. “The family is not a fad. In it, there is a supernatural sense of belonging,” Gabbana added. The fashion duo expressed their vehement opposition to IVF , a technology that homosexual couples use to have children. “No chemical offsprings and rented uterus: life has a natural flow, there are things that should not be changed,” they said. Dolce said he opposed changing nature to create “children of chemistry, synthetic children, uteri for rent, sem...

I can’t think of anything worse that being brought up by two gay dads.

British actor Rupert Everett at the 2007 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Everett was seen as a champion for gay actors when he decided to come out of the closet two decades ago. Now Rupert Everett finds himself in a somewhat less enviable position. The 53-year-old actor has been rounded on by gay rights groups after saying: "I can’t think of anything worse that being brought up by two gay dads." Everett’s comments are likely to offend celebrity parents such as Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish . The couple have a 21-month-old son Zachary, born to a surrogate mother. Ben Summerskill , chief executive of the gay rights group Stonewall, said: "Rupert should get out a little bit more to see the facts for himself. "There is absolutely no evidence that the kids of gay parents suffer in the way they are being brought up or in how they develop.’ However, this denial fails in the face the the Regernus study which has been vil...
