He's nuts. He also said, "as a gay man in California, I have absolutely no rights whatsoever". Huh? Maybe some of you admirers can tell us what he means, because I certainly don't understand him.

All of those decades of drug and alcohol abuse have led to brain damage. I guess that's what it takes for someone who is anti-gay to admire a homosexual.

I see that certain types throw their own kind to the wolves if they don't think EXACTLY like them.

Not at all. I just think he's off his rocker. Years of drug and alcohol abuse will do that to a person.

Huh?

What are you talking about? And who are you referring to as "anti-gay." Yourself? You call him nuts and brain-damaged.

I don't read any anti-gay posts here nor did anyone say they admire him.
The OP was simply provided info and expressing his surprise I would assume at Elton's strong stance on Arizona.
What does his sexual preference have to do with it, and why did you inject it here?

What is going on?

Ummm... Maybe he's a grown-up, successful adult who is entitled to his own opinions and has the right to express them. Or maybe he's a grown-up successful adult who doesn't give a flyin' flip about what other people think.

Rock on Elton! Rock on!!

Huh? Calling someone nuts and brain-damaged doesn't equate to being anti-gay. Duh.

Elton John is the one who brought it up. Read the article.
