According to new interview with Elton John in Parade, Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene really were just friends. “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.” Yeah, yeah, but back up there, Reg. Did you say Jesus was gay? While that’s certainly less bizarre than imagining him as a samurai or a guy in a tuxedo t-shirt, the claim seems certain to ruffle feathers with the religious right—not that they had much reason to love the out and outspoken singer anyway.
Considering the attention Elton’s amazing Grammy performance with Lady Gaga and bold statements about a religious icon’s sexual orientation are guaranteed to receive, it’s ironic to hear the Rocket Man doesn’t “like celebrity anymore.” “Princess Diana, Gianni Versace, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, all dead. Two of them shot outside their houses. None of this would have happened if they hadn’t been famous. Fame attracts lunatics. I never had a bodyguard, ever, until Gianni died.” You know what else attracts lunatics, Elton? Telling them Jesus didn’t just keep the apostles around for moral support. [via PopEater]

i think it’s blaphemy for Elton John to say that Jesus was gay.i think the only gay our Lord and Saviour knew is being happy period.
That actually makes a lot of sense, and I’ve been thinking that Jesus was gay for a long time. Probably bisexual, because he loved everyone. Why is that a bad thing? Even if he was gay or bi, he still did great things, didn’t he? I love Elton John. I’m pretty sure Jesus does too.
Honestly, I don’t really care what Jesus’ sexual orientation was (bring on the haters). The fact is, Jesus loved everyone regardless of who they were, and we should follow that example. I think we need to stop this gay/straight-what’s right/wrong crap and just LOVE each other. Everyone is entitled to their thoughts and opinions, and this one happens to be Sir Elton John’s (mucho respect to the Rocket Man). I love Jesus, and I definitely love me some Elton. Always have, always will.
And to think that they crucified the John Lennon for saying that The Beatles were more popular than Jesus!
C’mon u guys!
I support gay ppl cuz I don’t believe in any kind if discrimination BUT let’s keep in mind that according to MOST religions, homosexuality is a considered a sin
Jesus was perfect right? Well, that’s what they say
So how could he have been gay?
Actually, there are other rumors that he was married (to a woman lol) & had kids
I guess we’ll never know 4 certain
None of us were around when Jesus walked the Earth
Either way…Elton John calling Jesus gay was so random & uncalled 4
Like, wut was the point of him saying that?
I think it is so wrong for him to say that. I hope god has mercy on his soul for his words.
now I have some idea why:
I have never bought an Elton John record in my life..
Loved the duet with Ladt Gaga and Sir Elton John! It was great I thought . Just want to comment on another topic- just how scary and crazy that Heidi girl looks.She was much better looking before she did all that to herself. She use to look young and fresh.People need to tell her the truth- she no longer has that youthful 20 something look-it is just awful. All that plastic surgery should be for a much much older woman; but I guess she likes it ,paid for it and thinks she looks better.
Jesus is not gay. I agree with Alexis, Dave, & Downtown Thomas. One thing for sure God made Adam & Eve; not Eve & Eve or Adam & Adam it is a sin and I too have never bought one of Elton John’s cd’s notice when one of the members of the Beatles said they were more popular than Jesus they all are DEAD but one???????? Elton John needs to watch what he says. That’s the only man you don’t want to mess with and thats for those who BELIEVE. have a good day.
Elton John remarks about Jesus was a gay is just one way of bringing back his popularity that has been wanning for a while. The only scapegoat that he could thought of was of course is Jesus because who else is more popular than Jesus? Besides, he knew there’s not chance for Jesus to file any lawsuit against him for saying something so derogatory and defamatory. I’ve been a big fan of him but now not anymore. I would still have if he had not resorted to stoop so low to insult Jesus whom to many believers is God himself. Goodbye to you Sir Elton John forever!!!
Elton you have offical lost your damn mind!! You are the only one that is gay!!!
wow i dont even know who this guy is and i already dont like him
This is unbelieveable!!!!! We are a lost people…..and we wonder why all these disasters are happening in parts of the world!!! If u know your bible, it is an ABOMINATION!!!!!!! that’s the problem, we want to do what we want to do and think it’s ok and acceptable. We all have to answer for our sins, I hope you are ready. GOD is not pleased with what is going on today in the world and as a result we will suffer his wrath. Elton John will pay for his comment, so be careful what comes out of your mouth!!!
@ LADY D:
Uhm, I’m preeeeetty sure that TWO Beatles are still alive (Ringo and Paul? duh.)
And btw George Harrison died of natural causes only a few years ago. He lived a very fulfilling life.
Everyone makes stupid comments like John Lennon’s, so for you to even THINK, let alone SAY, that God would kill you for saying something wrong is incredibly idiotic and proof of your stupidity. God also said we shouldn’t judge, did he not?
HELLO?! Jesus is the son of God and therefore he’s perfect & the bible says not to be gay so he wasnt. What an idiot for thinking that!
Ugh! I can’t believe that Elton John would dare to say something so offensive and sacrilegious!!……..Oh, wait – yes, I can! He’s always been anti-God and anti-religion, so this actually doesn’t take me COMPLETELY by surprise!…….Elton, I’ve never liked you, but now I really despise you, and I know that God will judge you in the end, so you better be ready!!
ELTON JOHN IS A REAL ANIMAL IN FORM OF HUMAN BEING FOR SAYING THAT.
Elton John-word to the wise-NEVER EVER say a man of God was a homosexual! Think before you speak dumb a**! Just because you’re dumb enough to be a homosexual doesn’t mean that everyone else is! You’re a stupid british homo with no brain and obviously no more talent!
shame
yall are all sick people Jesus wasnt gay yall all are __!^@#^@*$)$!%! gots
Hi Elton,
Jesus loved humanity more than any person on earth ever did. In fact He died for us. He also “walked the walk just as he talked the talk.” If he condemned Gay Marriage he was very obviously NOT gay himself. Such an accusation is nothing less than blasphemous. How dare you try to cover your own sin on the strength of Christ’s celibate life-style! God forgive you!

yes jesus was gay, and by the way still is gay literally and metaphorically. he likes it up his ass that cocksucker god. trust me i know him well. why don’t you get to know him as well. oh yeah how? i forgot i am talking to morons, do you think god is hiding himself from YOU. yes he is a pussy, and he is mute. BUT HE WILL COMMUNICATE WITH YOU TAILORED FOR YOU IF YOU DON’T HIDE FROM HIM ,AND TAKE THE FIRST STEP, THEN HE’LL DO THE REST. TRUST ME. Be creative.
Get to know him then judge him. would you allow a stranger to tell you about your marital( spouse) relationship, or you say don’t tell me about my significant other, i know better than you. well then how can you really know someone without communicating with’em. don’t be like a monkey and do as others-going through the rat race of life. we as humans need to evolve by peeling life, to get to know it.
I say it again God as much of a pussy that he is, he is not hiding from you, you are hiding from him. God is not only in church, be the church.
