It's a well known fact that the Middle East is one of the least gay-friedly travel destinations in the world. Infact in 2004 a college student was sentenced to 17 years in prison for posting a profile on a gay website.
So it's no wonder that an Elton John concert scheduled for May 18th as part of the singer's "I'm still standing" tour was cancelled after he gave an interview to Parade magazine in which he says "Jesus was a super-intelligent gay man".
Even though Egypt is a pre-dominantly Muslim country, Jesus is regarded as a prophet and Sir Elton's comments drew the ire of Egypt's Music Union, hence the concert cancellation. So we ask, does the fact that Jesus was never married, spent most of his time with 12 guys and turned water into chardonnay every now and then make him a gay lord?
