British Popstar Elton John recently said in an interview that, "Jesus was gay". He said it in an interview posted on the website of US celebrity news magazine Parade on Friday. He said, "I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems." "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 largest US Catholic rights group, The Catholic League condemned his comment. League president Bill Donohue said in a statement, "Jesus was certainly compassionate, but to say he was 'super-intelligent' is to compare the son of God to a successful game-show contestant. 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'?"
