This last week Rush Limbaugh got married for like the hundredth time because he feels that marriage is sacred and he just can’t do it enough. But that is neither here nor there. The fascinating part is that he offered Sir Elton John 1 million dollars to perform at the wedding, and The Rocket Man accepted! For days now, pundits and those ladies at The View have been going crazy about the “should he or shouldn’t he have” aspect. After all, in case any of you live under a rock, Elton is gay and Rush hates the gays. Take a moment for some deep breaths now if that shocked any of you.
Here is what I say. Hell yes take a million dollars from Rush. At least we know it’s 1 million less going towards his hate mongering. That said, though, I am proud of Elton. Just because Limbaugh is a bigot does not mean that the rest of us have to be. In fact, Elton is the only person out there right now willing to cross over and possibly build some bridges. He has gone where no gays have dared to go before (at least so publicly), and that goes for his concert in the Middle East a few weeks ago as well. I applaud you Sir Elton. We need to stop standing on principle and have the balls to be the first to reach out a hand for a shake. Now Elton, take that money and put it in your AIDS fund and tell everyone that Rush made a generous contribution, then come on back to Sherwood Forrest. You deserve a big gay party!
