Catholic League President: Jesus Was Totally Not Gay, Elton John is Ignorant and Intolerant
by Hilton Hater at .On one hand, according to his new interview with Parade, Elton John does not want to be a celebrity anymore.
On the other hand, the singer guaranteed himself headlines when he took the controversial stance that Jesus Christ was gay. He also referred to the Son of God as "super-intelligent," two remarks that have elicited a response from Catholic League President Bill Donohue.
He's released a statement that reads:
Jesus was certainly compassionate, but to say He was “super-intelligent” is to compare the Son of God to a successful game-show contestant. More seriously, to call Jesus a homosexual is to label Him a sexual deviant.
But what else would we expect from a man who previously said, “From my point of view, I would ban religion completely.”
We’re not sure what’s worse—John’s ignorance or intolerance. In any event, if we thought we could persuade him to issue an apology, we would try. But given his recidivism, we won’t even bother to ask. One thing is clear: someone needs to straighten John out.
What do you think of Donohue's retort? Too harsh, not enough or dead on?

People are discussing policy because the comments made would incite violence against an individual on the basis of his gay sexual orientation. Because a Catholic official made the statements, the discussion is about Catholic policy to gay people. Your comments are both ranting and confused. It's unclear what you're talking about. No-one here is referencing Jesus but you.
Woah! So tell me, gay people are always right and the catholic church is always wrong; does that some up your argument in defence of the notion that Jesus was a homosexual? And about the paedophile priest thing, tell me - the six men who sexually assualted me in my twenties and thirties, they couldn't be sexually aggressive and predatory gay men, they'ed be priests in mufti, right? And the 80% of paecophile priests who sexually assaulted adolescant boys 13-16, they just couldn't tell the difference between a willy and a chuff? Pots and kettles. Homosexuality isn't a sin, by the way. Agressively embracing spite is. Good luck with the growing up thing.
The Catholic church calls a gay man intolerant. Hilarity ensues.
In Addition, I would like to add that - regardless of what package it comes in- Love is NEVER a bad thing.
Based on Jesus' teachings of compassion and love, I don't think he would care the least if anyone considered him Gay,Black,Rich,Poor,Asian,Indian, or French ... Who cares! It's probably flattering to have someone believe you are part of who they are! Jesus cared about bringing people together to help each other. The only time Jesus got really upset, was when his father's temples were being used by money changers and merchants. I believe the Catholic Church need to review this, and their "absolutely fabulous" Vatican City and Pope, before they start throwing stones! They pour OBSCENE amounts of money and energy to stop two people born differently from sharing equal rights. Money that could feed thousands... HYPOCRITES! What one sows, so shall they reap! I'm pretty sure Jesus didn't really embrace hypocrites ... though he did go down into the den of Lepers ... there may still be hope for the Catholics.
