Elton John menaces Ukraine

"All normal countries, including Russia" 

Says it all

Burn Them All 

"If all people in the world become homosexuals, mankind will become extinct."

Oh my God he's right, quickly rally the angry mob we need to burn them all before we become people of untraditional sexual orientation ourselves!

Baby BOOM 

Someone should point out to Valery Kaurov that if mankind keeps making babies at the rate it is now then things won't be all too peachy either.

Chris Collins

Modern scourge 

Clearly Elton John is the Typhoid Mary of homosexuality, spreading gayness amongst the unwary masses. Merely casting your eyes on his picture will have you baking quiches and decorating your house in pastel colours, you mark my words.

Jim Cosser

A bit tempted? 

"If all people in the world become homosexuals, mankind will become extinct"

I think this guy is saying if he saw a gay guy like Elton on stage he might be 'converted', says more about his dubious confidence in his sexuality than anything else.

Ted Treen

Slow on the uptake 

Funny, I'm 57 and have been listening to Elton John for close on 37years, and I haven't been tempted in the slightest to switch my orientation, or even to try gay behaviour. Maybe I'm just slow on the uptake...

Peter Kay

Time to roll out the top ten queer myths 

One of which is 'hanging around queer people will make you queer, just like hanging around tall people makes you tall'

Another is 'Being queer is unnatural. Just like wearing polyester, glasses and driving cars'

Being queer is a corruption of society; If we'd kept things as they were, we'd not have morally corrupted society by banning slaves and allowing women to have the vote...

At least they didn't quote Leviticus..

"All normal countries, including Russia" 

In Soviet Russia homosexuality chooses you!

New goatse... 

some things on the internet become an in joke, synonymous, etc. A meme if you will. Surely we, if anyone can, will find a word/phrase that can be the placemark for all this theology-driven drivel against gays, abortionists, brain live, etc. Our own dismissive comment. Just like when the image of the very fat dead crook Falwell comes into your field of vision the phrase 'human detritus' comes into your mind. Well, it does to me anyway...

change your identity? 

I still do not understand what that got to do with an internet technology site. Are we going to write about any news just because we have a political personal opinion. If this site became political one, let us know so we can look for technology at a different place.

Maby a different approach? 

Perhaps Elton John should offer to put on a concert to aid those suffering from terminal Orthodoxy.
