FURNISH SUPPORTS GAY HATE BILL

SIR ELTON JOHN's partner DAVID FURNISH has pledged his support to a new bill aiming to make homophobic jokes illegal in the U.K.

DAVID FURNISH

The Canadian film producer agrees with the new legislation, which will potentially result in seven-year prison sentences for those found guilty of promoting hatred against homosexuals.

He says, "I think any sort of hatred is unacceptable so yes, I support it. That said, I think this country is unbelievably tolerant and I feel privileged to live here and to be married to a Brit - as well as thankful that I can be married to a Brit."

The 45-year-old formalised his 12-year relationship with the singer on 21 December 2005, the first day civil partnerships were legally recognised in the U.K.
