To find this OTT and a bit horrifying?

Can't believe the shop covered this pic of Elton & his baby up due to it being offensive beacuse it featured a gay family.

Also get believe that such blatant homophobia is so rife in a country that is meant to be 'civilised'.

And, yeah, yeah, I know it's from the Daily Mail

Elton John

It's the term itself - family shield. Makes it sound like a condom.

Paul from Sunderland was horrified by the racial rather than sexuality issue, non?

MadamDeathstare - I entirely agree THE PORNIFICATION OF SOCIETY is a far more worrying issue - and they could cover pictures of anorexically thin women on mags too!! Not good for my DSs or my DD.

Sorry MDS, I was just agreeing with Oops that we have our own nutters.

foxy yes - isn't he getting Elton mixed up with Madonna? Confused

Ignoring the ridiculous homophobic action of the 'family shield' - does no-one else feel it's a bit that a 63yr old bloke is becoming parent to a newborn baby. How many people were on here saying it was outrageous when the 60 something woman had a baby a whilst no-one seems phased by this? Oh and obviously I realise David Furnish is younger but still...

I'm sure my utter dislike of old Reg has nothing to do with it.

-60yr old woman had a baby a while ago- sorry, lost my train of thought a bit there.

That is because it is not impossible for a man of that age to become a father yet it is (most likely) impossible for a woman to become a mother at that age naturally.

A family shield??

Is that some kind of bizarre euphemism for a diaphragm?

LaWeaselMys · 28/01/2011 12:04

The thing with celeb children is that they will always have staff, so even if parents are struggling with their health a bit, the kids aren't going to miss out on trips to the park. A bit unfair to not rich people, but true!

Isn't he a cutie though?

Quite right.

Filthy pair of homopaedophiliacs.
