Elton John is due to perform in Russia this Friday and Saturday – but the concerts could be called off by local officials if they believe his performances will break their ‘gay propaganda’ laws.
Despite Sir Elton being one of the most famous performers in the world, having sold more than 250 million records worldwide, if officials suspect he’s going to use his appearances to rail against Russia’s new rulings, they will pull the plug, according to The Times.
Quoting Russian paper Your Day, it reports that preparations for the concerts – in Moscow's Crocus City Hall and Kazan - have already been a considerable expense.

For those who don’t know.... HOMOSEXUALITY IS NOT OUTLAWED IN RUSSIA ( in fact, the gay bar scene is legal there ).
What is illegal is OPEN PROMOTION of the gay lifestyle.
50 pages of demands?!!
Heck...these people murdered the Czar and his whole family for less!!
He cancelled his tour in Russia last summer. The given reason was because he was I’ll, and the tour would be rescheduled for the Fall. Haven’t heard that he was coming back. The tickets were going fro $100-$1200 per swat.
well, you know the homos, they do have a flair for the dramatic.
The writer believes that because Elton is a top rank super star it is ridiculous to oppose him. Elton is just a very rich nobody. He should take his faggotry to the Middle East.
RE: Heck...these people murdered the Czar and his whole family for less!!
The Czar’s family did not even ask for what EJ is demanding.
The rider – a list of requests – apparently runs to 50 pages and includes his hotel dressing room in Moscow being turned into a ‘paradise garden’ populated by ‘decorative birds’ and trees.
Elton did a concert a few years back for some kind of gay benefit (AIDS or something, I don’t know). He hired male strippers dressed as Boy Scouts, and the crowd was cheering them on. Disgusting. This is what they really want to do when they think no one is noticing.
RE: Elton is just a very rich nobody
Well, Rush Limabugh did pay him a million bucks to sing at his wedding.

50 pages of demands....Is being able to sing in it?
RE: He hired male strippers dressed as Boy Scouts, and the crowd was cheering them on.
THAT is what’s illegal in Russia — OPEN PROMOTION of homosexuality, and THAT is what Elton John is fighting to legalize, equating it with denial of human rights.
He didn’t seem that demanding when he toured there back during the Soviet era. It was just him and Ray Cooper playing percussion on stage. I doubt he made those kinds of demands to the Commies.

promoting deviancy to children is what they want to be legal
This is what they really want to do openly after they mandate that everyone must be okay with it
I wouldn’t take tickets to one of his concerts if you gave them to me for free.
Here in the USA, things are of course topsy turvy.
In 2010, When Carl Paladino ( Republican candidate for governor ) expressed revulsion at the gay acts done in a NYC gay pride parade, and criticized Andrew M. Cuomo, his Democratic opponent for governor of New York, for having taken his young daughters to a gay pride parade, saying that such events were inappropriate for children, guess who was made the villain by the media?
