Christian Sites Pounce After Elton John Laments That His Son Is "Motherless"
During an interview yesterday with Matt Lauer, Elton John said that he was worried about the day that his son learns about his birth story, leading some anti-gay sites to immediately print the quote. The Alliance Defense Fund headlined the statement, but linked to a surprisingly not-nasty report from the UK's Christian Institute:
In an interview with an American TV show, Sir Elton said: "I’d love to have more children. “I want [Zachary] to have a brother or a sister to go to school with him, and so that he can have someone to play with. "It’s going to be heartbreaking for him to grow up and realise he hasn’t got a mummy. But he’s so happy. I’ve never seen a more contented child. And you have never seen two more contented people as David and I." Counsellors have advised Sir Elton to make a scrapbook for their son that explains how he was created.Zachary was born in 2010 via surrogate.
