London
(ANI):
According
to
Sir
Elton
John,
Jesus
was
a
gay
lord.
The
singer
made
the
controversial
claim
in
a
new
US
interview,
reports
The
Sun.
Elton,
62,
said:
"I
think
Jesus
was
a
compassionate,
super-intelligent
gay
man
who
understood
human
problems."
He
added:
"Jesus
wanted
us
to
be
loving
and
forgiving.
I
don't
know
what
makes
people
so
cruel.
Try
being
a
gay
woman
in
the
Middle
East
-
you're
as
good
as
dead."
Talking
about
how
he
and
David
Furnish,
47
-
now
his
"husband"
-
first
got
together,
the
pop
veteran
told
Parade
magazine:
"I
was
attracted
to
David
immediately.
He
was
very
well
dressed,
very
shy.
The
next
night
we
had
dinner.
"After
it,
we
fell
in
love
very
quickly."
He
said
of
previous
lovers:
"I'd
always
choose
someone
younger.
I
wanted
to
smother
them
with
love.
I'd
take
them
around
the
world,
try
to
educate
them.
"One
after
another
they
got
a
Cartier
watch,
a
Versace
outfit,
maybe
a
sports
car.
"They
didn't
have
jobs.
They
were
reliant
on
me.
"In
six
months
they
were
bored
and
hated
my
guts
because
I'd
taken
their
lives
and
self-worth
away.
I
hadn't
intended
to."
