So Elton John thinks Jesus was gay?!?
“I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving.
Ok let me get this straight (no pun intended)….. Since he was compassionate, super-intelligent, understood human problems and forgave people he has to be gay? Isn’t this kind of a racist statement? I gotcha, Jesus traveled around with 12 guys and did wear a dress but that doesn’t make him gay. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this statement and why it hasn’t caused more people to be upset. I guess once again it not considered racist (or would this be considered sexist?) when the other side says something. Yet if I say “well since he is gay he is too compassionate and forgiving so he can’t have that killer instinct so no way can he be in the US Military or play sports”.

Well if he isn’t going to back up his statement with anything other then what was said I look at as such. There was no reason to even add the word “gay”. He is just trying to cause drama where there needn’t be any. He could have easily just said
“I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent man who understood human problems. On the cross, he forgave the people who crucified him. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving.”
Just as I say “Elton John is a great musician” not “Elton John is a great gay musician” or “Obama is a shitty President” not “Obama is a shitty black President”. Maybe we should stop putting labels on people and just see them for what/who they are. If you are a douche you are a douche not a black, white, gay, straight, liberal, conservative douche, just a douche.
As innocent as you see this statement and trying to defend his statement I think we need to start calling out people for doing this shit innocent or not.
