If you're saying that isn't overtly homosexual, you're a liar. It even says fucking dyke in it. It talks about young girls pleasing alice in her bed. Men couldn't do it for her. Once you finally admit that it is a song ABOUT homosexuality, if that isn't enough for you, I will gladly find other lyrics in which he either proclaims his homosexual tendencies or his solidarity with homosexual women. Queers stick together.
We're not arguing about whether EJ is queer. Thats a known fact. The argument is over whether or not he promotes and/or sings about homosexuality. Who writes the lyrics is irrelevant, as he is the performer and it is Elton John's 'All the girls love Alice.' If we follow your logic far enough, Elton John would perform an anti-homosexual song if someone just 'wrote it for him.'
Ha, yes, that song is about a lesbian. I thought I typed that in one of my other replies but I guess I forgot. And since that is off the "Yellow Brick Road" album, I accidentally looked up that song's lyrics and they did not appear gay to me, so that is why I typed that it wasn't gay, I was referring to "Yellow Brick Road," not the "Alice" song. I even linked it. I have never even heard that song about Alice before, honestly, and like I said I'm not the biggest Elton John fan and I have never done an in-depth study of his lyrics. The only thing I have been arguing all along is that he is a GOOD MUSICIAN. And then when you posted the lyrics I just kept saying he writes the music, not lyrics, and that is what I mainly enjoy. But now that you have foud the lyrics, congrats. Ha, I don't even like that song though. As I said before, I am a fan of the music, not the man.
Since we are getting all detailed about it now, I like about 15 of his songs, and I have never heard the rest. Once again, I am a fan of Elton John's musical talent. Go ahead and find all the songs you want, you still can't take away from his ability as a wonderful musician. That's what started this whole mess isn't, that the singer from Queen is gay so how can he have one of the best songs of all-time? Or something like that. I like the song "Brick" by Ben Folds Five. To save you some time in looking it up in case you don't know it, its about an abortion. Does that mean I support abortion? No, I just like the song. Musically speaking, it is a good song. I even like some rap songs, not for their message, but the way they make certain beats, musically, sounds good. Anyway, maybe we are arguing two different things, I don't know. Here is my argument, short and sweet. Elton John is a good musician. Simple.
It must be nice to be able to pick and choose the parts of the bible you like and/or agree with, because that is what you're doing.
By the way, did you know that jews believe the New Testament isn't the word of god? Also some stuff about boiling jesus in shit, him being a false prophet, all kinds of good stuff if you just bother to look.
I do not choose and pick parts of the Bible I like to agree with, that is NOT what I am doing. You are wrong. If you are referring to the verse about killing the gay people, go back and read that chapter. I love how people try to argue about the Bible and take it out of context. God is talking to Moses, he is commanding Moses to do those things. He's not commanding me to do it. I am not choosing to ignore it. I know exactly what it is saying, you, however, do not. Take some more verses out of context and tell me I only choose to believe some of them and I will shoot you down again and again. This should be fun. And yes I know that the Jews don't believe in the New Testament and that Jesus not being the Son of God, that is why they are Jewish and not Christian, and that is why they killed Him. You're up.
