This photo has nothing at all to do with this story, other than being a freaking hot couple. I have just ALWAYS loved this picture.. all hail the power of 
Queen Victoria's genes!

Let's say you are poor little David Furnish, dealing all day long with the new baby and , let's face it, the biggest diva on the planet... DON'T you deserve just a little bit of an accolade of your own?

From our VERY old pal , The Sydney Morning Herald [ or was it the Sydney Tribune...] :

Title Plan for Partners of Gay Knights.

LONDON: The partners of gay knights and peers could be given titles like those for wives of heterosexual men under plans before the British Parliament. Under the honours system, wives of men made sirs or lords becomes ladies. But there is no equivalent for partners of gay men given titles, such as Sir Elton John's partner, David Furnish. Neither can husbands of women made dames use a prefix.
The Conservative MP Oliver Colville will this week unveil a bill aimed at bringing equality to the system, amid reports the government is preparing to investigate reform. His Honours (Equality of Titles for Partners) Bill will be launched in the Commons today, asking ''that leave be given to bring in a bill to make provision for husbands and civil partners of those receiving honours to be allowed to use equivalent honorary titles to those available to women''. He told The Sunday Times: ''The current system is uneven and rather outdated. If you are made a peer or a knight, your wife automatically gets the title lady, but if you are gay or are a woman and become a dame your partner gets nothing.''

and for no reason what so ever:



ALTHOUGH, I bet it was played at least once WHILE calling the Sydney Morning Herald.......
