Elizabeth Taylor's Greatest Role: Nation's First AIDS Advocate [VIDEOS]

"We all heard of it, and nobody was doing anything about it," Taylor said on "Larry King Live" in 2003, according to ABC.

The latest from Bill Clinton's home state: Harps grocery store in the small town of Mountain Home in northern Arkansas deemed a magazine story on gay singer Elton John to be obscene.

Rush Limbaugh: A (Fourth) Wedding in Pictures

Elton John Would Have Voted No on Gay Marriage
By Michael Kraskin - Politics DailyMichael Medved posts over at Townhall.com that "one of the world's most prominent gay entertainers" doesn't want the right to get married. Said Sir Elton: I don't want to be married! I'm very happy with a civil partnership. The word 'marriage,' I think, puts a lot of people off. You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnershipsMedved goes on to praise the "irrefutable logic of this clear-thinking superstar."
