... just got home. I haven't read the link/story yet. My first thoughts were: "YEAH, Rush finally came out of the fucking closet"!!!
Then, I immediately thought then about Eminem - when he came out new as an artist with all of those horrible anti-gay/violent towards women, etc... lyrics. WHO sang "with him" that song on the Grammy's? Elton...
It was VERY POWERFUL!
Many protested that then, but Elton - if I recall correctly sighted "writers rights" AND "freedom to express", etc...
And in the long run, I believe it helped "US". (And probably helped Eminem a bit - with any potential "hate"/bigotry issues.)

Anyway, just my initial thoughts. Otherwise, I like the consideration that - that "jerks" money is going towards gay charities (via Elton)!
PEACE
