Elton John Gets Hitched

Congratulations to local headliner Elton John and his partner David Furnish who were united in a civil ceremony in Windsor today!  Despite Las Vegas' a reputation as a place where anything goes, Nevada has been extraordinarily conservative on this issue with voters here being among the first to feel the need to "defend" marriage. It is a pity because imagine how much revenue could be generated by the wedding chapels and other businesses in town if we could just be a little less bigoted? Consider: Didn't Nikki Hilton's and Britney Spears' recent and brief Vegas marriages mock the institution more than the love between John and his partner? Done preaching.
