Boy George defends Elton's Jesus comments
Friday, March 19 2010

Boy George has rushed to the defence of Elton John after the pop legend branded Jesus Christ a "gay man".

Elton enraged America's bible belt with his controversial claims, resulting in the arrest of one religious nut who called for him to be killed. Elton told a magazine in February 2010: "I think Jesus was a compassionate, super-intelligent gay man who understood human problems. Jesus wanted us to be loving and forgiving. I don't know what makes people so cruel. Try being a gay woman in the Middle East - you're as good as dead."

However, gay icon Boy George has now stepped in to diffuse Elton's take on the Messiah's sexuality - saying his legendary pal's comments have been taken too literally. He told The Sun: "I think he was trying to say that Jesus was compassionate. I think that's true - the whole message of Christianity is about compassion. I think that's the point he was trying to make. But I don't want to put words into his mouth - we're good friends now so I want to stay on his good side!"
