Unless you haven’t listened to any music prior to the 2000s, you might not know who this legendary superstar is… which is truly a sad way to live. Most likely you recognize Sir Elton John and even busted out singing your favorite song. (B-b-b-benny and the jetssss) Well the musician turned knight has been openly gay for decades. In fact, he has been booed up with David Furnish since 1993 and they were one of the first civil partnerships ever in the United Kingdom. That is truly an amazing feat.
