Elton John and David Furnish are having a baby, and it made it on the front cover of the People Magazine. This is something that defies the social norm of heterosexuality. Homosexual men are rarely shown in the media. Lesbians however, are more common compared to gay men. One of the most popular pair of homosexual women are Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi. The fact that they got the coverage like say for example, Beyonce, a heterosexual woman having a baby shows that our society is making an improvement in accepting homosexuals. The majority of homophobic are more afraid of homosexual men than women even though its basically the same thing. Everyone has the right to love whoever they want, and as long as they are happy, no one should be judging them. The magazine company is also using this news to increase their sales since both John and Furnish are well-known celebrities. Not only does this magazine show homosexuality, but it also challenges the norm of masculinity. Elton John is like the 'mother' of the baby; she is more feminine compared to Furnish. This really shows how there are many different kinds of people in this world, and people should just accept them for who they are.
PS: Everyone should have the right to love whoever they want.
