That's what he said.

Some of you probably received this same email from Prop 8 organizers, but I thought this excerpt was great to hear and reminds me that not everyone is jumping on the band wagon to appeal something that has already been put to a vote. I was not planning on posting about Prop 8 again after the election, because I was treating it like when you are on summer break you don't say the S word, (school) but I liked this statement.

Elton John: Heterosexual Couples Have Marriage, Same-Sex Couples Have Civil Partnerships

USA Today published an article yesterday in which Sir Elton John spoke about his position on Proposition 8. John clarified his position on Prop 8 while attending the annual benefit for the Elton John AIDS Foundation. He was accompanied by his longtime partner David Furnish, whom he joined in a civil union in 2005. John was quoted as saying, "We're not married. Let's get that right. We have a civil partnership. What is wrong with Proposition 8 is that they went for marriage. Marriage is going to put a lot of people off, the word marriage."

John went on to emphasize that civil unions grant same-sex couples the same rights afforded to married heterosexual couples. He stated, "I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership…the word marriage, I think, puts a lot of people off. You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships."

Apartment living

Today I realized how living in an apartment is like sharing a house with strangers. I was working on my computer designing a marketing piece for my Dad when all of a sudden some Fergie song starts blasting, literally 30+ on the volume control. Our neighbor beneath us is very eccentric. He loves his 70's music, Night at the Roxbury soundtrack and now Fergie. Not to mention our neighbor that shares our master bedroom wall- we can hear every night that he snores. But it is very funny and unpredictable at times.
