N.Y. Post Releases Insulting Column on Elton John & Partner

The N.Y. Post which is no stranger to homophobia has released a column titled "Elton & Wife Proud Dads" in a heterosexist attempt to diminish the news that singer Elton John and his partner David Furnish have adopted a child.

The piece written by David K. Li makes light of the joyous news for the Furnish-John family and also degrades all gay couples. The anti-gay language in the article fuels the misconception that one partner in a relationship is more masculine or feminine and assumes stereotypical gender roles.

Demand they change the headline and apologize for this disgusting article.

  1. The NY post should be ashamed . .. the year is 2010 ...

    Also - who the heck thinks that Elton is the "man" in the relationship ? Can he be more camp ? (LOL)...

  2. You may be interested in knowing that the NY Post is a money losing enterprise. It is subsidized by the rest of Rupert Murdoch's media empire. Every time you watch anything on the Fox Network, not to mention Faux News, you are helping subsidize the Post.
