Elton John Has Some Advice For Bullies

Elton John opened up about his experience with bullying to E! News' freshly-minted correspondent David Burtka.

In his E! interview, Elton mainly recounts being bullied as an adult:

"It was about control and them being able to keep me under their thumb," he told David. "And I was the perfect candidate for it. Even though I was famous and a big deal, it doesn't matter, it's who you are underneath that, and I was always kind of shy and intimidated."

"One was violent and the other two were mentally violent. They were very important people in my life. They were important people in my career and and in my personal life."

He goes on to dispense advice to bullied teens:

"Speak out, speak out," he instructs victims. "Snitch on them. Try to defend yourself, not like me, who hid it and thought it was OK to just go on like it."

...their tormentors:

"Your insecurities are what drive you to do this. You need to consider your consequences. I'm sure underneath it, you're all very nice people. We've all made mistakes in our life—this is a good time now to correct your mistakes and help people."

...and society at large:

"We have to nip this in the bud, too many people have died. Too many young people have committed suicide because they've been frightened of 15-16-year-olds."

Elton will practice what he preaches by helping Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation with its anti-bullying initiatives.

Gay Relationships: Sexual Self-Expression

It’s Saturday night in New York and James is once again on the prowl....

He heads to his favorite gay bar Before long he has worked up a sweat to the driving beat of dance music and the crowded room of men.

The sensation of being alone in the crowd makes him feel united with something beyond himself, although he might have a hard time putting it into words.  He feels alive and connected in a way that makes him high.  He senses that he is part of this community of sexy, writhing men and it's important to him, even though he hasn’t spoken a word other than to order a few drinks during the first two hours of his night out.  He feels sexy and alive in a primal way.

It’s well past midnight now, James drives off and heads home with Ted.  The bass beat still makes his head pound – but that’s not the only part of him throbbing. The connection James felt at the bar echoes within him as he and Ted undress one another and explore each other’s bodies. Not all sex happens within a relationship.  While many men equate sex with love and intimacy, many other men do not. 

Men who make a distinction between sex and romantic love are looking for something else.  For some it is simple pleasure or erotic relief. For others there is another quality to this part of their erotic selves – a sense of connection to an erotic tribe of gay men.

"Happiness is an attitude.  We either make ourselves miserable, or happy and strong.  The amount of work is the same." - Francesca Reigler
