It's a special day for **Sir Elton John** and **David Furnish!**

They're celebrating their 15th anniversary *and* their 6th anniversary. 15 years of civil partnership that is, and 6 years of marriage.

"Our relationship gets stronger every day and I am extremely grateful for the love we share and our two beautiful sons," **Sir Elton** writes in an Insta post sharing a photo of David and himself smiling at their wedding.

But he also used the opportunity to highlight the injustices the gay community still faces today:

"We are the lucky ones, as millions of gay people throughout the world are discriminated against because of their sexuality," he says.

"This is a disgrace. We all deserve to love who we want. We will continue to fight for equality for all."

**David** also shared similar thoughts on his Instagram page:

"I can't believe that 15 years has passed since @eltonjohn and I celebrated our Civil Partnership in Britain. What a wonderful day that was. 6 years ago, we renewed our vows and got legally married in front of our two beautiful sons. This type of civil progress was unimaginable when I was growing up. Yet despite all this extraordinary positive change, I remind myself that it's still illegal to be LGBT+ in 70 countries and that you can be given the death penalty in 12 of those same countries."

Sir Elton and David both tagged the [Elton John AIDS Foundation](https://www.eltonjohnaidsfoundation.org/?ref=celebritykind.ghost.io) in their posts which is not only working to end the AIDS epidemic but also fighting for the rights of gay people.
