Who can, hand on their heart, truthfully say that they've never had a threeesome with a married individual? Judge not lest ye be judged.

The Court of Appeal has said that the 'celebrity threesome' injunction will, pending a legal challenge, be lifted in two days. So on Wednesday we finally get to officially find out it's about yeah right. I really want Carter-Ruck suing me.

Is this the thing about Elton Johns' boyfriend getting bored about loving an old man?

Sorry, husband.

I'm not implying anything. I thought the story was about one man getting bored with loving another older man. So he played away.

I admit it is a boring story, pedestrian, if you will.

They apparently have an open relationship. It wasn't even cheating. It's the least interesting story ever.

Sorry, that doesn't really answer the question of homophobia.

Yeah, I can see your point. It was a quick, unthought out edit. I do apologise.

They are married. I maybe a homophobe, I'm not really sure. In much the way a racist may offer a defence- I offer that I spent my early 20s off my tits on Es in Heaven most Friday nights.

But will almost certainly have an impact on their kids. The idea of the whole playground and all your friends mums and dads knowing intimate details of your parents sex lives. The whole thing is a pile of poo poo.

He knowingly underplayed the nature of their relationship then corrected himself in way intended to cast aspersions at the validity of all homosexual marriages.

Maybe he just didn't know they were married. It's not that unusual for couples to live together and have children without getting married first (regardless of the gender of the couple).

Reminds me of the press's obsession with the fact John Hemming (former MP for Birmingham Yardley) played away from home with the full understanding of his wife. After spending years trying to shame him for being sleazy he then nominated himself for the News of the World's Love Rat of the Year award. :allears:

To be honest, I think the fact that a Cabinet secretary has been having sexual relations with a woman in a profession he wants to criminalise is a much more important story.

Clearly knew the couple were married, but called him the boyfriend anyway. Implying the marriage is not genuine.
If he didn't mean to imitate the conservative line that same-sex marriages aren't as valid as opposite sex, then that was an unfortunate fork of words to use

I think what ever Elton John and his husband get up to behind closed doors and with their full agreement and consent of all adults involved is not newsworthy and frankly they seem happy and there is no public interest in exposing details of an arrangement that everyone seems okay with.

John Hemming once tried to force his way upstairs in the pub I work in as he'd lost his coat and want to check the cctv to find 'the thieves', he is a massive rear end but I got to mock him the day after he lost his seat.

The bad thing about this was when Hemming's wife stole his mistress' cat afterwards.

If you break the sacred and sanctified bond of marriage then you go to hell. If you break it and confess your sin to a priest then you sing Ave Maria a few times and that gets knocked down to a few hundred years in purgatory. The consent of any or all people involved is irrelevant, because it's God that you're cheating on. If you're really rich you can buy the church a new window or something and they'll transfer some of the surplus good deeds of the saints to you as a negotiable instrument and you should be good to go though.

None of the above applies to same sex marriages for the same reason that it doesn't apply to any marriage conducted outside the Church of Rome.

I'm almost tempted to post a half-hearted defence of the superinjunction because in the absence of any meaningful privacy law in this country it's about the only way you can try and keep a secret if a national newspaper decides that it wants to publish it.
