This song was first released when Elton had just come out as a bisexual. As for the meaning, the lyrics and music video seem to suggest that it's about a boy playing Romeo in a school production of Romeo and Juliet but he ruins the play on one night cuz he refused to kiss the girl playing Juliet anymore cuz he recently discovered he was gay.
