Jesus would have backed equality - Elton

Tue 1 Jul 2014 In: International News View at Wayback

Elton John with partner David Furnish Sir Elton John believes Jesus would be pro marriage equality. He told Sky News' Murnaghan programme: "The church hierarchy, the traditionalists, might be up in arms about it but times have changed. "If Jesus Christ was alive today, I cannot see him, as the Christian person that he was and the great person that he was, saying this could not happen. "He was all about love and compassion and forgiveness and trying to bring people together and that is what the church should be about." Elton John will marry his civil partner David Furnish next year.
