NEW YORK (AFP) – British pop superstar Elton John stirred controversy in a magazine interview Friday when he claimed that Jesus Christ was "gay."
"I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems," John said in an interview posted on the website of US celebrity news magazine Parade.
"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. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East -- you're as good as dead," said John, who is gay.
The Catholic League, the largest US Catholic rights group, condemned the comments.
"Jesus was certainly compassionate, but to say he was 'super-intelligent' is to compare the son of God to a successful game-show contestant," league president Bill Donohue said in a statement.
"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'?"

A not so credible comment of a person who only knows very well how to sing.

if he understands christ as gay, then let him.. everyman is entitled to his own understanding of the divine..
if anyone of you here insists that he(elton) shouldnt.. then you might as well take away his liberty to think...
if you think of your christ as the ala-rambo macho-man, then so be it... you are entitled to it... just dont go out gun-ablazing forcing somebody else to accept your views...
God gave man intelligence and free-will.. all i can see here is elton john, practicing his God-given rights...

a very appropriate politically-correct statement indeed.
