Elton John bashes Venice mayor for withdrawing preschool books promoting homosexuality

VENICE, ITALY, August 20, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – British singer Elton John publicly criticized Luigi Brugnaro, the mayor of Venice, for withdrawing several preschool books that promote homosexual behavior to children under the age of six.

During the past weekend, John called Brugnaro "extremely silly" and "boorishly bigoted" in an Instagram post. His post also depicted one of the storybooks that, according to the rock star, promotes an “all-inclusive world where families come in all shapes, sizes and colours.”

“Instead of encouraging a world based on inclusiveness, tolerance and love, he's championing a future society that's divisive and fosters ignorance,” the post continued. “Beautiful Venice is indeed sinking, but not as fast as the boorishly bigoted Brugnaro.”

The book depicted in the Instagram post, called "The Family Book," is a favorite of John’s and was among the books that were withdrawn from Venetian preschools, which seemed to spark the singer’s anger.

Elected in June, Brugnaro withdrew 49 books whose main characters were same-sex couples from preschools and nurseries last month, as he had promised to do during his campaign.

The books were bought by the previous administration, at the price of 10,000 Euros, ($11,200 U.S.) according to local media.

Brugnaro responded on Twitter in a series of tweets in Italian that said: "The challenge is to give real resources for saving #Venice.”

Another message he tweeted on Tuesday said, “At #Venice we definitely will not risk creating sexual confusion for children younger than 3 years old. We respect the growth of children!”

Hundreds of Venetians showed their support for their mayor with tweets like: “If you don’t share their ideas, you’re a bigot, redneck, homophobe, fascist, racist, etc. We are with you.”

This is not the first time John attacks Italians for standing against gay “marriage.”

Last March, John called for a boycott of openly gay designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana for saying they opposed gay “marriage” and adoption, and making comments against in vitro fertilization.

John and his partner David Furnish have two sons conceived through IVF.

These books promote deviancy and showing them to children is abusive.

The most intolerant people I have ever met were gay folks who didn't get their way.

“Instead of encouraging a world based on inclusiveness, tolerance and love, he's championing a future society that's divisive and fosters ignorance,” the post continued. “Beautiful Venice is indeed sinking, but not as fast as the boorishly bigoted Brugnaro.”

Perhaps perverted Sir Elton likes his chickens to be younger and younger — as he gets older and older.

Yep, anyone who defends this stuff is just a pedophile by proxy.

Homosexuality perpetuates itself through child sexual abuse. Most homsexuals are recruited when young by older homos. They scream at any attempt to restrict their access to children and adolescents.

To deny that there is a direct link between homosexuality and pedophilia is to deny reality.

Luigi Brugnaro needs to be the example for every mayor, school board and principal in the USA to follow.

Elton, nobody prevents YOU and your fella from studying each other’s anuses...

However, the REST of us are NOT REQUIRED to embrace your twisted lifestyle.

Go get your swastka tattoo, girl.
And shut your pie hole. Nobody wants to hear you talk; they pay to hear you sing, doofuss.

Question for Elton John: do you really believe that babies come out of a man’s rectum?

And they ridicule creationists for thinking that the world is 6000 years old.

In these days children need a cacoon of innocence to protect them throughout childhood. Ideally this is the family, but that institution is under fierce attack.
Lord help us!

The mayor is keeping the kids from being brainwashed about unnatural behavior.

Sodomites are mentally ill and are haters of self (nihilists) and want to teach it to the young. They want children to “think” like them and “love” their lifestyle so they will be involved in it.

All behaviors and worldview are learned.....that is why it is necessary to indoctrinate young children with unnatural, dysfunctional, evil ideas if you need them to “think” like them——to make it “normal”. The Afghani boys in harems grow up to believe sodomizing others is Good-—and hating and mutilating women is Good-—and that is their Worldview.

The Marxists want tribal mindset in our children-—they are easy to control and bribe-—for they have no Virtue. Without Virtue, civil society will collapse and that is the purpose of the Marxists who are pushing perversion and irrationality and indoctrination onto our children. They have controlled the “education” system and textbooks for a half of century (or longer).

Chrisitan Worldview has to be removed because it created the Age of Reason and Individual Natural Rights from God only——they can’t have Rational Minds——they want people who believe “snow is black” and Vice is Virtue.....like homosexuals: Totally removed from Reality/Reason and reduced to a rutting, godless animal with no purpose—and can be eliminated when a useless eater. Since no biological connections (Marxist utopia) it will be easy to eliminate people who have no family connections-—the type of society homosexual “marriage” LOL creates....which denies children their biological parent. It is EVIL and reduces human beings to be bought and sold and created by the State so the State can kill them when necessary for the “Collective” good (as a few elites “feel”)...

The faggie Elton John is a pop music multimillionaire which doesn’t say much for Western Civilization.
