Elton John Says He Has Become The “Acceptable Face Of Homosexuality” And That Eminem Gave He And David Furnish As A Civil Partnership Present “Two Diamond-Encrusted Cock Rings

Elton John, whose new work, a collaboration with Leon Russell titled The Union, is scheduled for release November 2nd, is interviewed by The Telegraph, John saying that at 63 years old, in England he is “the acceptable face of homosexuality, because I’m quite blokey. And I’m very happy with that. That’s why I love being in this country, because people are always very honest with me and very kind and have a great sense of humour, and you still get the wolf whistles walking along the street and stuff like that.” He also talks about a period in his life deemed “a complete and utter blur,” when John would spend time “not bathing for three or four days, staying up watching pornography all the time, drinking a bottle of scotch a day. And I was bulimic as well, so I wouldn’t eat for three days, then gorge on six bacon sandwiches and a pint of ice cream and throw it up. And then have a shower and start the whole procedure all over again. There was no self-respect there whatsoever.” John says that his friendship with Ryan White and the young man’s death in 1990 at the age of 18 from complication arising from HIV/AIDS was the catalyst for change. He dismisses criticism for having played the wedding of notorious homophobe Rush Limbaugh, and mentions that when he and partner David Furnish participated in a civil partnership ceremony, Eminem presented the couple with “two diamond-encrusted cock-rings.”
