"How do we allow a gay, who bans religions, claimed that the prophet Eissa (Jesus) was gay and calls for Middle Eastern countries to allow gays to have sexual freedom?" said Mounir al-Wasimi, head of the Egyptian Musician Union.In February, Elton told Parade magazine that Jesus was "a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems." He also quipped, "Try being a gay woman in the Middle East -- you're as good as dead."
Egypt's ultra-conservative government barely acknowledges the existence of homosexuality. Even worse, same-sex domestic partnerships are grounds for criminal indictment for laws against morality and contempt for religion. Let's hope that Elton finds some way into the country and Egypt finds its way into the 21st century.
