"Sir Elton John has spoken out against opponents of same-sex marriage. The singer, who recently welcomed his first child with partner David Furnish, made the comments during a benefit gig for the American Foundation for Equal Rights. He told the crowd that the only thing he feels that he is missing in his life is the approval of those who condemn gay marriage, and went on to deliver a message to those particular critics. &amp;quot;I think I have it all,&amp;quot; John declared. &amp;quot;I have a wonderful career, a wonderful life. I have my health, I have a partner of 17 years and now I have a son. &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t have everything because I don&amp;#039;t have the respect of people like the church or like politicians who tell me that I&amp;#039;m not worthy, that I&amp;#039;m lesser because I&amp;#039;m gay. Well, f**k you!&amp;quot;  He added: &amp;quot;We have to fight the good fight and we will win this fight.&amp;quot; The 63-year-old also expressed regret that he did not do enough to promote awareness of AIDS during his early career. The concert raised more than $3 million (\u00C2\u00A31.9m) to go towards overturning California&amp;#039;s controversial Proposition 8, which refuses to recognise marriage between two people of the same sex.
