Elton John says America is going backward with ‘disgraceful’ anti-LGBTQ+ laws

British singer Elton John has criticized anti-LGBTQ+ laws in the United States, saying that “it’s all going pear-shaped in America.”

“We seem to be going backwards. And that spreads. It’s like a virus that the LGBTQ+ movement is suffering,” the Grammy-winning singer said in an interview with the United Kingdom’s Radio Times.

John, 76, singled out “laws enacted in Florida” as “disgraceful,” adding: “It’s a growing swell of anger and homophobia that’s around America.”

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed a slate of new anti-LGBTQ+ laws last month that will take effect July 1. Doctors will be allowed to deny patients care based on their moral beliefs, while the use of preferred pronouns will be banned in public schools. A law that prohibits gender-affirming health care for transgender people under the age of 18 is already being enforced, The Washington Post reported earlier this month.

John has less than a month left of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, the star’s final farewell before he steps back from the limelight to spend more time with his family, including his sons, ages 10 and 12. The farewell tour was meant to end in 2021 but was delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic and hip surgery he had in 2021.

And I’m sure Jesus has a beef or two with me, so I’m certainly
no paragon of virtue, but you’re right. Judgement is coming
and there are folks out there who are nearly demon possessed
these days.

So be it.

Homosexual act should have remained illegal everywhere.

Tolerating perversion and perverts is not going forward after any fashion.

Having less tolerance for them is, though.

Im ready for that righteous judgement especially since i was molested by a rainbow trooper when i was 8.

Wonderful YouTube video: “ That’s What Friends Are For” with Dione Warwick, Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Gladys Knight.

It’s so great I have to listen to it at least once a year and I really don’’t give a hoot what any of those stars does in his or her private time. As long as as it doesn’t include murder or arson. If they would pay attention to the Bible, it would be better. But lots of normal people ignore it too.

I’m so sick of the word games these assholes play with this stuff.

It’s “anti” this and “anti” that and “hate” when WE JUST WANT TO PROTECT OUR CHILDREN, which is our duty.

>> He has children? But how did he...

Some flavor of “rent-a-womb”. How else could he? Mentally sick bastard.

But never mind that, What about the physical safety and mental health of his SONS...???

I repeat. Sick bastard.

[Nervous Tick]

Right on.
We have the flag...

Disgraceful is what the alphabet mafia wants to do to kids.

[dayglored]

Ditto, stealin' it.

I recently saw a similar back-window decoration, same L-G-B-T letters, but instead of a profile of Trump it had an outline of a pair of Titties.

Incrementally less likely to cause your car to get keyed, in this leftist town.

However his brilliance is likely the result of brain abnormality, which often leads to other conditions, such as homosexual tendencies.

He also grew up in a broken home, possibly with an abusive father. Those things don't help.

I really hate it when queers who are not even Americans lecture me on which direction is forward and which is backward.

[hinckley buzzard]

Tell us all about it Rocket Man.

John may be charitable, and he is raising children. That is commendable. However, he is part of a group that aggressively promotes a lifestyle that could endanger the human species.

The human race must replenish itself, and promoting same sex partnering is absurd. If taken to an extreme, the practice eventually eliminates humankind. Obviously, there is the immoral aspect as delineated by the bible etc..

Whatever, the practice is illogical. Heterosexual relationships sustain a species endowed with powerful self-preservation instincts, and are therefore logical.

[Albion Wilde]

Disgraceful?

[Rinnwald]

Mr. John should keep his comments about his own country. Didn’t England just ban youth medical transitions?

[mass55th]

Go hump a bar stool Elton.

[sushiman]

Rogers opposes fascism and bigotry . He opposes the war in Ukraine putting much of the blame on NATO . Says Taiwan is part of China . Right on bro !

[cherry]

[cherry]

a homosexual by definition can not have children....but they pick and choose what rules of nature they think they should obey....
