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depicted in the Instagram post, called "The Family Book," is a favorite of John’s and was among the books that were withdrawn from Venetian preschools, which seemed to spark the singer’s anger.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.
Looks like you sank their battleship. Or bugger-ship. Or whatever it was ...
Very good! Thank you savagesusie!
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.
So this is where we are. We are boorishly bigoted if you believe in traditional families, and don’t want homosexuality shoved down the throats of children. Really? What happened to homosexuality being about what consenting adults do in privacy??? Why the need to force it on children, otherwise be charged with the heresy of bigotry???
You are wanting a future of divisiveness and fostering ignorance, if you don’t want homosexuality pushed on children??? Really???
I wonder when Elton John and his gay cronies will stop forcing their morals on everyone.
Elton can suck eggs... Favors have no sway in my life
Elton and his anal partner have adopted children. I don’t even want to know what they are teaching those kids....and how they are doing it.
Dear Elton,
Enjoy your Muslim Dominant Europe! You and you friends brought them in. It is so “inclusive”.
Don’t expect the Christians to rescue you - again.
God bless Venice, Italy. Too bad it isn’t Venice, California, that is rejecting sexual perversion.
You said...
“The most intolerant people I have ever met were gay folks who didn’t get their way.”
I’ve seen that same thing personally in my lifetime
If faggotry is normal, why does it need to be “promoted” from such an early age?
An old joke from many years ago...
If a man and woman get a baby from a stork, does a faggot get one from a swallow?
Go sing a song, Mr. Piano-man. We don’t much care how it goes.
Elton John is a man - boy lover.
Widely known rumor that Sir John kept Scotland Yard busy covering up for his boy toy preferences back in the 80’s & 90’s.
In 1999 he pushed his perversion too far, by sponsoring a celebrity gay themed party featuring him doing lewd dancing with strippers dressed as cub scouts.
Very Sick Creeps

Too much money. Too much time on his hands. If he had to dig potatoes & carrots out of the garden in order to feed his fat piehole; he’d be better off & too occupied to indulge himself in perversion. “Idle hands ARE, indeed, the devil’s workshop!”
...publicly criticized Luigi Brugnaro, the mayor of Venice, for withdrawing several preschool books that promote homosexual behavior to children under the age of six.
I wish he’d just shut up and play his piano.
Elton John meet Jared Fogle
In San Rafael Ca. they had kindergartners handling the genitals of classmates of the same sex, for “understanding.”
Or better yet, be crushed by the falling piano while the movers are getting his stuff into or out of some posh high-rise.
Elton John is the boorish ignorant one.
