Elton John says America is going backward with ‘disgraceful’ anti-LGBTQ+ laws
WaPo ^ | June 20 | Story by Jennifer Hassan

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.

He has children? But how did he...

No, nevermind. I don't want to know.

Sir Elton is entitled to his beliefs. Florida has nothing to apologize for so where do we stand? At least he isn’t Roger Waters. Elton throws us a bone every once in awhile.

As say most gay and lesbian people I know! They are pissed off big-time. This is some serious psy-ops stuff being pushed into our institutions of America. Mass deception and agitation. The big shiny distraction phenomenon.

So stop with your freakin gaslighting-

And, I should pay attention to some deviant that likes to have his excretory orifice ravaged?

My cats are at least normal.

Very little negative comments were directed at the Trans-
genders before they started targeting children.

Once that came down the pike, all bets were off.

Let me say something here about that eventuality, as if this
is somehow unfair. How many of us would have defended adult
men going after children, a man for tiny tot girl, or a
woman after a tiny tot boy?

This is abnormal behavior and the grooming is what is
drawing all this negativity. And while were at it, this
is already against the laws of our land. This is absolutely
unforgivable.

Nobody is making threats against the transgenders now, but
if this keeps up it’s only a matter of time.

Anyone backing this sort of behavior should be locked up.

That goes for heterosexuals, homosexuals, or transgender
folks.

LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE!

Elton John is a musical genius.

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

It’s these sorts of brain abnormalities that lead to rare genius, that often lead many companies to desire that “talent” and turn their backs on the words of The Holy Bible.

Elton, aren’t you supposed to be retiring this summer anyway?
If the current America displeases you so much, I’m sure you could afford to go back home any day, any time you chose to do so. Too-Da-Loo, Old Chap!

Sexual weirdos went too far when they decided to go after our kids.

I don't give a damn if they' were born that way' or not. Same with serial killers - they were 'born' that way. Who cares. We don't accept that excuse.

So what?

That's not an excuse for trans to groom, sexually mutilate or sterilize our children, "Tolerance" is a two way street ... and we NEVER were accorded ours. Eff Elton...

Jesus will return with righteous judgement.
Elton should worry more about that.
