Boy George doubts Elton's marriage

Boy George has remarked that gay people should snub the conventionality of "civil partnerships" and questions Elton John's marriage.

The former Culture Club frontman has until now felt alienated because of his sexuality, and he resents having to become a regular member of society in order to be accepted.

He said: "I've spent many years being abused for being gay and I love being gay. But Elton getting married, what is that?

"I was raised to be an alien. Now don't tell me I can be normal. It's too late."
