1. I'm not shaming Mr. John into anything...
He took the money for a job. What he decides to do with it is up to him.

That said, I'm disappointed in his decision but it is his to make.

6. Shame him why?
If Elton John was playing a repuke fundraiser or a anti-Gay rally, absolutely, but he's a professional performer and was being paid to perform at a wedding. It would be nice if he'd donate the money, but I don't really see the problem here. I don't bring my politics to work, I don't refuse to work for someone I dislike or disagree with politically. Elton John played a wedding and took Rush Limbaugh for a million dollars for what was probably an hour's work or less. Good for him.
