Was "Jack" his father's legal name or was is a nickname for "John"? Graymornings ( talk) 07:24, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
I don't think calling Furnish the "husband" of Elton John is quite right. Obviously the pair have a relationship equal to that of husband and wife, but two issues come to my mind. First, the stereotyping of words like husband and wife that used to be mimicked in gay culture where one partner felt compelled to assume the gender role of a female housewife, and the other partner assuming the opposite role- using the word "husband" might imply that. The other and main reason is that --though I am no expert, I still believe that the current laws under which Furnish and Elton John have their partnership do not yet reach all the full benefits given to a man and woman in wedlock. -- Leahtwosaints ( talk) 16:38, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
How can two sons be "born to the couple? The child is either not biologically descended from one, or is not biologically descended from either. There cannot physically be two fathers. Royalcourtier ( talk) 07:43, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
Is there any work on if David Furnish has a title via his husband's knightship? I'm pretty sure that wives of knights get to be called "Lady", do husbands of knights have any title attached?-- Canuckguy ( talk) 16:31, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
There have been two rather sensationalist attempts to introduce content about the privacy injunction into the article. I'd suggest the following at the end of the body (not the lead) as a neutral way of covering it. There are a lot of incorrect sources out there; many incorrectly identify the claimant in the case. It might be best to wait until the injunction is lifted and see if more consistency emerges among highly reliable sources.
