Elton John and his longtime boyfriend, David Furnish, entered a civil partnership on Dec. 21, 2005, in England under a law the country had just enacted granting recognition to same-sex couples. The congratulations poured in as the two men appeared at a joyous ceremony at Windsor Guildhall, amid a crush of paparazzi. Donald J. Trump, who had known the couple for years, took to his blog to express his excitement.
âI know both of them, and they get along wonderfully. Itâs a marriage thatâs going to work,â Mr. Trump wrote, adding: âIâm very happy for them. If two people dig each other, they dig each other.â
