Elton John slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin for being hypocritical on LGBT issues after Kremlin distributors censored Rocketman, a recent biopic about the singer-songwriter's life and career throughout the years.
In an interview with the Financial Times, published Thursday, Putin declared that Russia had "no problem with LGBT persons." A day later, John took to social media to call out Putin's comments as hypocritical. In a statement shared to Twitter, the 72-year-old musician condemned the Russian leader for allowing distributors in his country to censor LGBT-scenes in Rocketman.
"Dear President Putin, I was deeply upset when I read your recent interview in The Financial Times," John wrote. "I strongly disagree with your view that pursuing policies that embrace multicultural and sexual diversity are obsolete in our societies."

Controversial that they didn’t find homos to play the roles. Instead they had to settle for straight men willing to kiss and writhe around naked with other men for money, and disgrace their grandparents name...in front of a camera. Got it.
LOL
He’s just a sad human being.
My opinion, a covert Manhattan Project type gov./private collusion where BILLIONs of $$$ were diverted from other research(AKA cancer) and perhaps other gov. programs...in order to save a few wealthy closet/open homo globalists/others around the world, and when this perverted lifestyle "choice" disease started to spread into the general population(blood transfusion, etc .), fearing outrage(and perhaps quarantine), they accelerated the research(and the $$$) to find a cure. Perhaps the cure itself is perverse(aborted baby parts..???).
If the general public knew that this type of gigantic effort was wasted on the CHOSEN perverted lifestyle consequences of a few...the many, particularly those who've suffered from chronic/other illnesses(through no fault of their own), and those who have lost love ones waiting for a cure for their(long established)condition/disease...would have revolted.
Thus the cover-up.
Holy crap! I just went for the 70’s music but what you have posted rings true!

The sodomite’s feathers are ruffled. Who cares?
Shut up and sing.

Vlad badger gonna do what Vlad badger do!
Boy, Putin must really be hurting from that.
“Nearly every scene was about his gayness. But the music WAS great.”
Maybe fast forward over the non-music scenes??
It’s a little bit funny,,,,
Worse yet the man is doing it for cash!
That is a special kinda Queer!
Okay...my thoughts were mistaken. I get it now. My apologies.
So I did see the movie. It was...ok.
Not nearly as good as Bohemian Rhapsody, and historically and chronologically inaccurate though I overlooked that.
Maybe I read too much into it, but my take from BH was that here is a Shakesperian tragedy complete with flawed character (Mercury). And in the end the character dies as a result of his flaw (the tragedy). EJ is also a flawed character, but he never really redeems himself. You can say he overcomes some addictions, but certainly not all of them, and goes on to promote the gay lifestyle with his adopted kids (future Chastity Bono’s likely).
I also saw “Yesterday”. Now that is a great summer movie if you like comedy, good wholesome characters, and great Beatles music.
John tells Putin to embrace sexual diversity? John misspoke. He meant sexual perversity.
