==Civil partnership and adoption==
Elton John is an outspoken [[liberal]] and [[homosexual]] activist. In 2005 he entered into a civil partnership with his partner David Furnish in a ceremony in Windsor, [[United Kingdom]].
Furnish has publicly described John as "pathologically selfish...unreasonable, demanding, irascible and has the filthiest of tempers" <ref> http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1213505/AMANDA-PLATELL-Sorry-Elton-John-selfish-father.html</ref>
In December 2011, when John was aged 62, he and Furnish acquired a son using a surrogate mother. Another son followed in early 2013. The high-profile status of the couple means that the children will be under intense media scrutiny and will be under huge pressure to act as advertising mascots for homosexual parenting.
In March 2016 Elton John was sued by a male former bodyguard for sexual harassment. The bodyguard Jeffrey Wenninger alleged that Elton had groped and tried to seduce him three times in 2014, sometimes in a car, and had argued with him when he said he was heterosexual and married. <ref> http://www.ebalsblog.com/2016/03/elton-johns-is-being-sued-by-former.html</ref>
The case was eventually settled out of court.
In 2016 Elton John took out a court injunction in the UK to prevent media reporting the sexual behaviour of David Furnish with whom he has an "open" relationship. Furnish was reported in a foreign newspaper as taking part in group homosexual behaviour of various "Kinky" sorts with partners he met through the homosexual dating App [[Grindr]]. One of these partners sold the story to a newspaper and reported that Furnish did not use a condom. <ref> https://www.mercatornet.com/conjugality/view/the-air-brushed-portrait-of-a-perfect-marriage/18108</ref> <ref>http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/100954525.html?page=2</ref>
Worrying news followed in December 2011 when Since the singer relationship of John and Furnish welcomed into their family has been held up as a son born model of cosy single-sex family life, suitable for bringing up children, some have questioned the integrity of John in wishing to a surrogate mothersuppress the true picture. Another son followed in early 2013. The high-profile ==Ambassadorial status of the couple means that ==In 2016 Elton John was the child will victim of a hoax when two comedians telephoned him pretending to be under intense media scrutiny [[Vladimir Putin]], President of the [[Russian Federation]] and will likely serve invited him to raise awareness of meet for a talk about homosexual rights when in Russia.
