Elton John Condemned for His ‘Jesus was Gay’ Remark
Famous music composer and song writer Sir Elton John has been severely criticized for his remark that Lord Jesus was gay.
The 62 year old musician gave this remark on Jesus Christ in his new online interview on Parade.com as part of an article which will appear in the website’s sister weekend magazine. Now the “Rocket Man” hit maker is facing the wrath of fuming bloggers and ‘tweeters’.
According to the latest celebrity news, in his article, Elton John said, “I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems.”
He added, “On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don’t know what makes people so cruel.”
His remarks have led to a wave of criticism from everywhere specially from online critics.
One online user writes, “John is now the authority on Christ? Jesus Christ was as gay as Saddam Hussein is alive.”
A blogger rhardin tells Fox News’ 411 blog, “I will never listen to this man’s music again. How dare he speak of my Lord in such a disgraceful way. He should not speak on things he knows nothing about. I hope and pray that all Christians will take a stand on this one. Elton John’s lifestyle speaks for itself.”
Meanwhile, bobj72 tells TheDailyBeast.com, “While I have had some appreciation for Elton John’s music… he could not be further from the truth on this matter regarding Jesus. It is clearly stated in Leviticus 18:22, 23; that Christ sees homosexuality as an abomination.”
Everybody knows that Elton John is a supporter of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people but he should not make such a statement that hurts religious sentiments of people, just to strengthen his support to a separate section of people.
