남자가 임신을, 동성 결혼...

세상은 어떻게 진화 변화 속에 어떤 전이가 이뤄질 것인가. 이미 동성 결혼이

법적 공식적으로 허용 인정된 나라가 많다. 네들란드 캐나다 벨기에 스페인이고

독일 프랑스 스위스는 영국과 비슷한 법적인 상황이었는 데 영국이 이를 공식적으로

허용함으로 11년간 동성으로 동거하던 엘톤 존은 찰스 황태자가 결혼한 바로 그

자리에서 결혼을 함으로 정식 법적으로 동성 부부로 태어났다. 낭만스런 이들은 동성인

이들부부의결혼식에서의 키스가 그렇게나 아름다웠다고. 전 미국 대통령 빌 클린턴도

축하 비디오 테잎을 보내 주었다는군요. 엄청난 변화의 조짐이 감지되는 듯. 그러면

이제 결혼의 정의도 달라져야 하지 않을까 아님 남자가 임신을 하거나 또는 또 다른

남자 임신 가능한 요란한 줄기세포의 "전쟁"이 대한민국에서 일어나든가..

Elton John Unionizes

By Sarah Hall Wed Dec 21, 3:56 PM ET

The Rocket Man has gone groom.

Elton Jhon

swapped vows with longtime partner David Furnish Wednesday, taking advantage of a new law

in England that permits same-sex couples to enter into legalized civil unions.

The twosome made their partnership official in a private ceremony at Windsor's town hall, the same spot

where Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles were wed earlier this year. Hundreds of fans

turned out to line the streets in support.

John eschewed his usual flamboyant garb for a traditional dark morning suit, accessorized with

a diamond brooch on the lapel and purple sunglasses. Furnish also wore a dark suit and a black tie.

The couple's parents and their dog, Arthur, as well as a few close friends, looked on as John and

Furnish said their vows and sealed their union with a kiss.

"Both Elton and David had tears in their eyes as the service drew to a close," guest Sam Taylor-Wood

told People. "It was lovely when they kissed. Very romantic and touching."

Following the ceremony, the newlyweds hopped into a black Rolls-Royce to head to a lunch, followed

by a star-studded reception with more than 600 guests. While John and Furnish kept their ceremony

low-key out of respect for their parents, all bets were off when it came to the after-party.

The $1.75 million affair was held at the singer's Windsor mansion, where two large tents were erected

on the lawn to contain the revelers, who were served pink champagne and lamb.

The couple bid their bachelorhood farewell Monday night at an elaborate stag party, attended by Ozzy

and Sharon Osbourne,

Elizabeth Hurley,

Bill Clinton sent a videotaped message congratulating the couple.

The bash took place at the Too2Much nightclub in London's Soho neighborhood, where shirtless waiters

reportedly served guests flutes of champagne and sushi. In lieu of gifts, the couple requested that their

guests make donations to AIDS charities. John and Furnish announced their engagement in April after

11 years together. Apparently, being John's other half is rarely boring--Furnish chronicled his life with

his dramatic lover in a 1995 documentary titled Tantrums & Tiaras.

Sir Elton has often credited Furnish with helping him to kick the drug and alcohol addictions that almost

killed him. The singer was wed once before, to German music producer Renate Blauel, from 1984 to 1988.

John and Furnish were among hundreds of gay couples to enter into civil unions Wednesday, the same day

the Civil Partnership Act went into effect in England.

The law is seen as a major milestone in the gay rights movement.

Same-sex marriage is permitted in the Netherlands, Canada, Belgium and Spain, while Germany,

France and Switzerland have laws similar to Britain's. In the United States, only Massachusetts allows

gay marriage, while Vermont and Connecticut permit civil unions.
